Not Just A Bunch of Robots


You claim you care

But yet you take away my chair

You say it’s easy

But yet you make me queasy

You try to teach

But yet I’d still rather be at the beach

You tell us to be quiet

But yet our explanations, you don’t buy it

 

Oh teacher when will you learn

Your ‘looks’ aren’t really stern

It just makes us laugh

Whenever you instruct us on how to make a bar graph

 

Oh teacher when will you realize

That you don’t have hawk eyes

Catching a student

Won’t ever show you’re prudent

 

Oh teacher when will you actually show concern

For the kids with sunburns

Wishing they were in prison

Rather than being under this unnecessary supervision

 

Oh teacher when will you understand

just teaching us won’t make us advanced

Us students need also need compassion

To show how you not only care about our actions

 

We are not a your puppets

We are not robots who come in the hundredths

 

We are students

We are also humans
