And all the teachers agree
They say they can’t
It’s too hard
Students say
It’s a joke.
Or
School doesn’t matter,
I don’t think
They make it hard.
For, the teachers,
They try their best
But the students don’t
They brag about grades and gossip about one another.
While
The teachers say being mature is hard for them,
Students keep on going.
College and the fight for jobs is around the corner, but
They take their own path,
They don’t listen
Students are coming
Humanity, Watch out.
(Now read it backwards)


The author's comments:

This is a reversal/palindrome poem, it is meant to be read top to bottom, then bottom to top. Both ways are have different meanings like in this poem when read top to bottom it is what teachers or parents think of students and school, while when read bottom to top it is what students think about school.
