THE RHYTHM OF THE BUTTERFLY Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa
Teacher: The Great Influencer How great I feel ‘bout my subsequent parents, Ever since you came into my life, You showed the right path with wisdom, Teacher! The Great Influencer you are. From a great teacher like you, Good and bad, I am adept to magistrate, Right and wrong, and justice and injustice, In life, encircled with malevolent doers. You prejudiced me not only to cram literature, But also ethics, a huge impact in a youth’s life. Not even the water, wind or the sun can quiver, ‘Cause great work it is, the ceaseless influences on me. Your influences taught me to be humane, Not only to the people at large, But also, to the animals and nature, A huge difference you have made in my life.
