Ephraim Tshilo (1990-04-10 / Madibogo North West)
Sometimes Teachers Cry
Students are lazy to learn and you won't see it on the aprons they wear
For if clothes were to speak voices would be banned
And our ears grow longer with desperation of what is true
We speak but it seems our word is not taken
So as teachers we cry out loud with believe that transformation is the key to their success
Yet the patience we have can't carry us through to see graduations" they remain on the same address
Our fingers are crossed that their attitude is about to take a different direction but every year we experience the same mess
