Everybody wants

Everybody wants,
a teacher that is fun,
a teacher that can teach,
a teacher that can reach,
a teacher that knows how,
to pressure he doesn't bow,
a person that is strict,
but yet he must be sweet,
meagre he may earn,
but that's not his concern,
for what a teacher wants,
is for his students to get number one.

This teacher must know all,
ignorance he must not show,
discipline he must keep,
without using a stick,
he must always give,
even if there's nothing to receive,
problems he must listen,
even when they're caused by parents,
he's to provide solutions,
and solve all problems by being patient.

Everybody must have think,
a teacher is not a human,
he can be treated like a servant,
how he feels is really irrelevant,
he does not need compassion,
since this path is what he has chosen.

Now, let us all be realistic,
ain't all the expectations a bit too sick,
nobody can be that angelic,
to find such person will definitely be problematic,
you may not find one even in the Arctic,
see if God has hidden one in your attic?!

Now, this is what I have to say,
what people think I don't really care,
the kids I teach are not really angels,
most of the time they only cause anger,
I am really not a saint,
I cannot silence all the pain,
I am also just a human,
so don't give me all those sermons,
let me do my job my own way,
as long as I don't lead the kids astray!
