The Snake in the school
Has taken a teacher’s form
Slithers in and wriggles out
Through benches and
desks
Feigns to be in discipline
While spurning every norm
In the learned staff room
He spends leisure in gossiping
Assassinating character of colleagues
Of good nature and name
From a high ground undeserved
The stench in malice sipping
Who will stand up to her?
King’s own unbegotten darling?
Capable of turning fair into foul
Good into evil, Eden into Hell
With her forked scheming tongue
Yet, in protection remain to sing!
God, you place thorns in our sides
Lucifer’s horde you didn’t eliminate
Permitted him to test your children
Day in and day out remorselessly
In the premises of holy angels
And your joyous garden
to vitiate!
