The Bitter Difference Poem by George Samuel

The Bitter Difference

Rating: 5.0


The teacher went from me
When fame came
And because I couldn't learn again
I grew thin
Like an elephant grass

Standing on artificial fertilized ground filled with gas
My ignorance grew and covered my skin
Till I became pale with pride
My teacher saw this and cried
Because I walk so tall

On the ground where one day I shall fall
Also I ignored the sky
Which keep judging me as my time fly
I was walking far away
To a destination I cannot say

My friends increased
And my desire decreased
My day and night were alike
Passing and fading in every blink
Because I lack a teacher
And that was a bitter difference
