The Teacher. Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

The Teacher.

Rating: 5.0


You relied on me
but not on my credibility
for bringing your kid
up.

You asked me to teach
your kid to earn from learning
but I wanted him to learn
from earning instead.

You asked me to teach
to beat the world
I wanted him to explore
one not traced out.

You asked me to teach him
to be great
I thought " Is he not Great? "

You asked me to inform You
if Your kid loves anybody
But I found him loving
all the animate and the inanimate.

You wanted me to teach your kid
land on the moon
What could I do?
As I knew He is no less than a star.

You asked me to help
your kid
to the greatest height
I wanted him to do it with nobody's help.

You asked me to write
something important on the pages blank
But I tried to remove the dust
settled on the nicest written pages.

You rely on me or not
I know
the cloud can not
hide the the burning sun
for ever.
