Responsible Parents Poem by Youmpkang Bapkek S Bright

They were good and serious 
Waking you at an unwanted time 
After joining you with domestic chores
Stacked you with heavy boring books 
Kicking rocks but hurrying along 
Down that dusty red dirt road 


In two hours filled with a pang of nostalgia
But yet, still endure by finishing up your gruel 
Always angry with time keeper 
Because of scrap's idleness at home 
Three years come and gone 
A child becoming an adult 


At night, with dirty and smoky lantern 
Going to that allocated wicked teacher 
Who uses boot instead of verbal correction 
Another three years ushered in Six
Which makes me an onused pupil 
Another six years receptioned twelve 
A period of educational and rationale self responsibility
Having an invisible armour, mission 
To wear that black gown and white wig 
Which is only prove through another six years 



They weren't schooled 
But yet, ready to school their blood 
There should be no backslide 
If those that backslidden are ready to rebuild
