Malfunction In Their Heads

Nici confessed in secret she received
two school debits today, her nails too
long, a book left at home, an evil
teacher dared to change her day
into a nightmare

Teacher’s playing god, what terrible
malfunction in their heads makes
them forget destructive criticism
kills small minds?Are their minds
thus so warped

They see themselves beyond reproach,
judgmentally seated armed with stones
ready to throw at the first who may
incur their wrath? Are they conceited
as well as blind?

Why do other people set themselves up
as adjudicators against the rest of us?
I used to think teachers go straight to
heaven, now I know the pathway leads
straight to hell…
