Is a motherland a mere piece of land?

Surrounded by rigid walls
Of ritualistic beliefs
Where narrowness symbolises
All thoughts, actions and deeds
Where gossip is relished
With Kehwa and Kebabs
Where polluted minds pollute
The very air they live in

Frustrations and domestic strife
Who's run away with whom
Makes headline news
Where God weeps tears of blood
As spirituality dies a slow, painful death
Harmony and tolerance are unheard of!

'Paradise on earth', it once was
Today it stands
a shell of its former self
Crawling with uniforms,
Both coloured green
Who do you condemn,
Who condone?
When one brother guns down another

Who wants this land? - a rosy apple
Red with the blood of both,
The innocent, and the guilty

Eat, eat.. let them
Eat... bite, chew
But to swallow and digest
Will be another story!

Teacher's Day special!!!!

There go the values... blowing in the wind
Abused the teacher?
Wow, mark their vocabulary
Don't they write a neat sentence?
Pat your backs - it's a job well done!

But... Abused the teacher?

Oh, that's cool, that's funky
Very 'with it', don't you think?
Respect, regard, fear, reverence
All old fashioned words in a box to dump
Abuse is 'free-expression', dear

Pull up your socks; the fault is yours!
Make your lessons exciting, fun...
Make them laugh, life is to be enjoyed

But... all facts are not entertaining!
It calls for diligence, practice, perseverence...
Teaches values of hard work, sincerity
Leads to menal expansion, acumen...

Values?... the word still exists in your outdated head?
Throw it out with yesterdays trash!
All that is past, today's master is cash!
Stop being inflexible, rigid, harsh
You'll damage their personalities
Cause irreparable harm
To their young minds
With your tongue lash!
Accept it, you are their dartboard
So why fear their poison arrows?
Values my dear are crass
Throw them, fling them, out of the school !
Let them be blown away..........
By the winds of change sweeping through!
After all, the old order changeth for the new!

Who needs ateacher when the Net reigns supreme?
Why waste a teardrop for your position past?
Enjoy the fresh breeze of the winds of change
Watch the values slowly blowing away
In the winds of change!
In the winds of change!
