Teacher
True. I am learned. But—
I don't apply what I've learned
See you tomorrow
..................
to you, my teacher, my healing spirit guide,
in my carreer, my sorrows, trials and tribulations,
transformed into joy and peace,
thank you for this morning,
thank you for the signs,
and the light that shines ever so brightly
within me from your own journey,
this connection so overwhelmingly special,
you know me, and of my path,
and i know i'm doing it right now.
greatest healer of all time,
thank you.

He did that thing with the button on his shirt again today.
It was purple.
Mind perplexed by his magnetic aura,
That smiling coy mouth moved, but my thoughts went astray.
Even the darling freckled frat boy next to me went
Adrift into time and space;
And he stared into these eyes
Oh, those piecing brown eyes
I understood the assumptive look on his face.
Disoriented, perplexed, and satisfied, that flirtatious moving mouth
Paused for but a moment;
Furtive words returned masked inviting and tantalizing
Some thought registered, and he withdrew to his means.
An inquiring expression left a mark in my mind today
His eyes are so brown.
Wake Up! Wake UP! No more sleeping in bed
Little Peter is crying he needs to be fed
Angie is failing she can’t even read
This problem exists because she is poor- that’s what her teacher now believes
We are failing our children while we lie asleep
Our family structure is failing and is proven to be weak.
Wake Up! Wake Up! Mother while Peter is being raped
By the same man you love and claim it’s you that he dates
Wake! Wake Up! Dad your daughter is growing old
She needs a man in her life – so she sleeps with the addict who treats her cold…
Wake Up mom and dad no more thinking about you
But instead of our children whose thoughts are misconstrued
The alarm clock has gone off- No more sleeping in bed
Let’s save the children we have left
‘Cause half of our children are already dead.
Wake Up!!!!
