Two Poems

The Teacher and the Students                              

The teacher and the students                          
They drag the class between them                               
The teacher lays the rules                                            
The students just ignore them                         
The teacher teaches many things                                 
The students just forget them.                         

The teacher sets the deadlines                         
The students will postpone them                                
The teacher gives the grades                            
The students won’t believe them                                 
The teacher records scores                                         
The students tampered them.                         

The teacher keeps his patience                        
His lessons and his tact                                    
Some students, their indifference                                
They like to interrupt                                      
But when he calls them up                                          
They never will stand up.                                             
           
At times the class is dormant                           
A silence all they keep                                                 
The teacher feels ecstatic                                            
The students feel as deep                                            
But when the teacher speaks                           
The students fall asleep.                                               
                       
The teacher does his best                                            
But students show no interest                         
The teacher has to preach                                           
That students, “never cheat!”                          
The students, they admit                                             
 “We better cheat, than to repeat!”                             
           
The teacher’s loads alone he bears                                
Frustrations, anger, pain and all                        
He knows no student ever cares                                 
But when he feels he has it all                          
He throws the blames                                     
The students catch them all!                            


The Students’ Reply to the Teachers

We students and our teachers
We’ve built a gap between us
We know we follow rules
The teachers just don’t trust us
We study many things
The teachers never ask us.

We do observe the deadlines
The teachers never mind them
We always take our grades
They hurt but we accept them
We always ask our scores
But never tampered them!

We students have our problems
Like lessons hard to catch up
The teachers sometimes know them
They like to call us up
If we don’t know the answer
Then how can we stand up?

At times we feel so lazy
So tired and even weary
The teachers are just busy
To force and make us study
But how can we be snappy
If the lessons make us sleepy?

We students do our best
When teachers teach with interest
There’s no more need to preach
That students, “Never cheat!”
If the lessons we don’t get
The teachers will repeat!

The burdens teachers have
We hope won’t make them give up
We students also have
Expectations to cope up
But teachers shall we have
A way to bridge our gap?
