Every teacher is a potter
One who digs the clay of the mind
And gives it moisture
Amidst pounding and kneading
To get the right texture
Setting it on the wheel in direction
To mould the right item through heat in finality
II
Every teacher is a farmer
One, who prepares the land of all ready minds
For knowledge planting
Choosing the best seed based on the type of soil
Is a teacher’s blessing in wisdom
Knowing the weeds which will burden
And finding time to weed them out of the planted
Is a natural duty
III
Every teacher is a driver
A driver of the unenlightened to enlightened destinations
Knowing not the right route will cause the loss of all passengers
Driving without a license will cause unnecessary delays
A driver knows that time is imperative to all on board
A corrupt driver shows quick and diabolic routes to passengers
Power drunkenness and speed can cause a fatal accident
IV
A teacher is like a writing god
One who writes not on pads but in mind
One whose mistakes have no ready erasers
One whose soil lives on his dictate in fertility
One who can make and break
There is no greater life led not in teaching
A teacher is a director
A director of all minds
