Like Mary C Carson says so well:
Just a Teacher........
Just a teacher working away
...teaching children everyday
watching my livelihood slipping away
Just a teacher caught in the middle
shocked at being played like a fiddle
By politicians and talking heads.
Just a teacher
taught to love learing......
Looking out at a bunch
of misfits
who care more about
bottomline profits.
Just a teacher
trying to hold on
At a media and policies
gone completely wrong.
Just a teacher
wondering when...............
This cyclic pendulum
will change again.
Just a teacher
watching and waiting
but fading in a sea
of data and testing.
Just a teacher
hoping for the time
we get back to the pupose
The Children again......
Just a teacher.............
