when teachers come to the class
they dont always know if all the students are meant to be there
they share what they know
doubts, dissonance, and disbelief
but do they always succeed
no, they can not do better than
what a carpenter does
who is asked to shape the wood
which has many eyes
hard woods in eyes
is not easy to smoothen
but the teacher tries
sometimes he fails
and sometimes he cries
but he never easily gives up
but can he make any difference
when students loosen their grip
on the time
he tries
and no, he no more cries
he also does not always smile
even if he is allowed to smile
he knows that those smiles were stolen once
and replaces with sighs
of deep distrust,
now, well, now
he wants to teach
and forget the rest
