High School Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

High School

Some wonder why always
I insist: "Am in debt, to teachers."

Unlike West, USA
Lowly paid government.

Poor were most of teachers
But they were devoted…

I believe what is known
As the best proverb:
"Whoever teaches me
Will have me as slave."

Proudly I wear the
Ring, shackle as slave
For serving my teachers.

Devoted and expert,
Were they, well-prepared,
And readied what needed,
And worked as magicians.

Stinking gas he made
Was "Sulfur trioxide, "
That faded red of rose,
Explained on the board.

I learned and will never,
Forget the sulfur chain
Mixed with the oxygen.

I saw same with physics,
Jerrycan was half-filled
With water and heated,
Then let the steam out,
Wrote, sealing the metal:
"Vacuum will denture."

Is shame to forget such
Teachers and their lessons.
