What’s opposite of a teacher
I have thanked them all
For what I am
But wait master Ji
What about the glass half empty
No!
No credits to thee
For the ignorant, indignant,
insolent -me
For indecisive, irrational -me
For teaching the logic of convenience
Over the struggle and friction
then enabling to veneer the meekness
with vainglorious diction
“Sit down” for “How?”
“Shut up” for “ Why??”
You didn’t even,
ever let me Try!
Branded the doubt as foolery
and ensured that my mind
be all but free
Yes, all but
Free!!
Contouring my thoughts
with that of someone else’s
Delineating the world
of abstracts into absolutes
Befouling the beauty of randomness
by the confines of routine
So why
Yes - Why
I dare to ask
On this day ‘ O Teacher’,
you stand so tall
All in all you’re just
Another brick in the wall.
