Poetry / HELL0 TEACHER

Hello teacher
Tell me what to do,
Tell me who I am and make me a mini you.
Show me how to act,
Show me what to wear,
Tell me who to mix with and introduce me to your lair.
Give me words to follow,
Show me what is right,
Even if I protest
I can’t stand and fight.
I shall be your slave,
Minion,
Whatever you desire,
I will tell you truth,
You will call me liar.
Make me proper
As you are
So I can go so far.

And we shall stand in line,
Your army so small,
To follow in your footsteps
As you send us out to war
In the big wide world
Where our little hearts get tore.
But stand we shall
None the less,
Not because we want to
Or even cause its best,
We do it because you make us.
We shall shine your shoes
From the front line
With our blood and tears
Because that’s all you’ve shown us,
Basking in our fears
Till the shadows pass,
In the end you’ll be left behind.
