Oh! What a despair
Teaching flows in my blood,
It's the oxygen I breathe,
The passion which keeps me going,
The dream for which I live.
But sadly the days are changing,
Green classrooms turning blue,
The teachers are overloaded with work Which they have no clue.
The ink of our pen is drying away,
Still our fingers ache in pain,
We don't remember where we kept those books at home,
For reference,we have our new friend Mr. Google & Crome.
Our time is limited
And we need to complete,
The poem we started today,
Wanted to take them on a dream field trip.
Oh! The YouTube will do it anyway.
To teach reason, passion, love and empathy,
We have no time to spare,
The objectives aren't achieved.
Oh! What a despair.
