Teachers Sitting Down


Too much lunch money lost, too many bad morals shown. The last thing we should feel, is that we're all alone. Too many teachers too quiet, too many bullies too loud. Too many children walking home, running with frowns. Too many books on the floor, with no help to pick up. Too many beautiful girls, with their confidence shook. Too many harsh words, and not enough love. Too many scoldings, with no praise to above. Too many dreams crushed, to many open doors shut. Too many teachers sitting down, too many bullies standing up. The years spend in college, were not for knowledge alone, but to open your mind, so your authority can show.  We need not your help, but guidance and smile. Say I will help you, my innocent child. Reach out to all, individual or group, let us know school is a melting pot, not soup. Too many times your cheek has turned, and too many words left unsaid. Too many groups of bullies, not classrooms teacher led. Too many times left alone, with no one to show you what. Too many teachers sitting down, too many bullies standing up.
