LIFE AS A TEACHER

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I hae seen things in my life time
Babies who talked before they walked
Birds which landed before flying
And young men rushing to taste before their fathers.

Even so, I have done it all but mime
I have also been persecuted and stalked
I know about being flogged screaming and kicking
What I haven't done is address my father from rafters.

My best line in this poem is the line

(And young men rushing to taste before their fathers.)

Why because this line reflect the exact behavior of teenagers nowadays.

The reverse is also true. Young women rushing to taste before their mothers.
