These Students are our Future
Teachers
Why don’t you stop lecturing
And listen for a change
Maybe pay attention to the kids in the back row
Who might have some scars to show
And goes home to cut and feel low
These kids are your future
They don’t just need a tutor
And the days are only getting fewer
High school teachers don’t do much
But all some kids need is an encouraging touch
We know we’re worth something and should be treated as such
Please do a selfless act
Help out the hurting kid; make an impact
And you might just save a life in fact
