WHO WILL BE A TEACHER?

If I were a pagan

In search of a slogan

Or better still redemption

I’d choose to be a soldier

Rather than be a teacher

The arduous way to heaven


A teacher’s reward is beyond

A soldier loots the world

And turns not the other cheek

A bonus to the first abused cheek

But a teacher never says stop

A sheep his character model

The arduous way to live


Who has the time to teach?

When hearing is all they do

Understanding they do not

I’ll rather use the sword

To get the pledge from them

The best of ways to lead


A soldier has it all

With little “Don’ts” to watch

A teacher watches it all

With little “Dos” of life

An arduous task of living


A soldier has no rule

Except to save his life

A teacher has no life

Except to live his teachings

An arduous way to teach


I’ll fight to save my life

Not teach to risk the same

I can’t await the Head- Teacher

Whose promise seems too far


You better save yourself

The easiest way to be

To be, to be

The easiest way to be

The rosy way of life

The world has learnt to choose

To choose, to choose

The world has learnt to choose


WHO WILL BE A TEACHER?
