The teacher


The poem is the teacher 

like a powerful word spoken by the preacher 

speaking to the child alone 

offering that child a home 

speaking to the broken man 

offering him a helping hand 

speaking to the oppressed 

making them feel less stressed 

the poem is a helping hand 

Reaching out to a broken land
