A Teacher's Words

I am not a scapegoat
an enemy of the state
a spender of your taxes

nor am I the reason
a student fails or passes

I walk the halls
stand tall
ardently speak
to the treasures
that learning seeks
a beacon of wonder
that shines like
a cloudless day

in front of your children
I stand afraid
of their future
of ours
I carefully plan
four hours and hours

with the hope
to never bore
and restore
the want for
knowing more
