71
Teacher’s Lot
(Version ll)
September the first
Back to school again
Facing an army of kids
Another year of struggle in vain
New academic year
New ideas, mostly hot air
Replacing common sense with dogma
And last year ideas disappearing in thin air
Struggling to teach the unwilling
Endeavouring to meet the targets
Trying to make the ends meet
Stretching the boundaries of one’s wit
Bell Tower, Vank Cathedral. Esfahan, Iran

But at the end of the tunnel, there is always light
Counting the days as one might
One day is almost gone
Only three hundred and twenty eight more days to come
