CAN WE HAVE OUR CLASSROOM PLEASE?

CAN WE HAVE OUR CLASSROOM PLEASE?

 

We don’t blame you all:

All your contributions are not interventions,

In fact you provide, and become Contents to be discussed,

You give a brick to us to erect a palace,

Your saplings are left to our care to be watered and tended,

Your dreams are passed on to us to be concretized,

Your pride do come towards us for refinement,

Your Inherited Maps are handed to us to instill hopes,

Your envisioned future do travel with us to be nurtured,

much works are queued up before us, and don’t let them be fractured!

 

But do stop depositing the irrelevant and the unwanted:

Into the four walls where we interact with dear souls,

The class it is known, where we manufacture goals,

They are not just filled with benches and boards,

The place is truly a knowledge mine and becomes a source of well-equipped road,

It is the broadened realm and from there we talk to the stars,

Their involvement pushes us to be Venus and marsh,

Your politicized cinema and cinematized politics are at lost,

Have started supplying the derogatory and negatory clashes,

What we committedly instill cannot thrive upon several losses!

 

You might be ready now to shower wishes:

Upon us, through and by mechanical means,

The honeyed words and moneyed modes,

We don’t ask them as we have multiple elevated tasks,

Feel that we plead and internally bleed,

For not being an autonomized breed,

Only a noble teacher must be permitted to regulate and lead,

We do character forming, and therefore responsibly seed,

In the name of funding, grinding and reminding there is a constant ride,

It is the domain of the teacher and the taught, so please mind it and do abide!

 

Dr. U. Mahendran.
