Teach

What is a textbook to one who cannot comprehend?

What is a worksheet to someone who does not understand?

Why become a preacher, when one refuses to preach?

Why become a teacher, when one refuses to teach?

Is it fair to me, that my knowledge lies in this stranger's hand?

That my future may be determined by just this man?

This man who claims to teach, but only talks,

Yet my lack of knowledge, is still my fault?

Is it fair to us students, that your sloth will cost us our success?

Our brains fry trying to understand, while you get paid to rest. 

Away with showering students with chapters and sheets,

Explain the work, read us the chapters, be a teacher,

TEACH!
