Mr. Teacher, Go do your damn job right for once.

Curse words,
foul language,
things I can't say to you at school.
 
I can belittle you on your job as a teacher to me,
The inability to teach,
The inability to communicate,
The inability to provide me and other students a place of learning.
 
Instead you belittle us,
you degrade us,
you don't take us seriously.
 
When will you stop?
 
When we do the job you can't, you silence us.
When we bring up the problems you present, you degrade us.
When we finally have the courage to call you out,
you send us down to the principal or sent us out for good.
 
You wonder why people quit the activities you run,
And why they drop the class once they hear who teaches it.
It is not because you teach us life the hard way
or that you advocate education seriously.
No, it's because you ruin our year in school.
You promise so much,
yet you don't deliever, you neglect us.
You don't advocate education,
You advocate dictatorship,
and self proclaimed righteousness.
 
Stop what you're doing.
Reevaluate,
don't brush off my words.
You are the cause of my problems
and to others just like me.
 
So shut up and listen to your students,
The ones who you had once made cry,
The ones who you degrade their self esteem,
The ones whose hopes you crushed.
Just stop it all.
 
Get over yourself
and go do your damn job right for once.
