சுண்டெலிக்கும் சுண்டெலிக்கும் திருமணமாம்,

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது,



Dear parents
A humble request being
Extended to one and all.
I being a small creature
Known as a teacher
Proclaimed as a nation builder
I being expected
To shape the future of a child.
To make your spoiled child
An enlightened one.
I also have my life
Which is dear to me
I do have a family
Who need me
Don't expect too much from me
If you can't handle your offspring.
Better to make them sit at home.
The purest of relationships
The teacher student bond
Has touched it's lowest.
You expect the potter
To make the best of pots
With the worst of lots
Without any contact and guidance
You want to get an approved licence
Without taking a driving test.
Your pampered lad
Surely laden with fad and whims.
Bound to commit crimes
Definitely will be part of heinous acts.
To hide your weaknesses
You compromise your nonavailability
With the supply of costly gadgets
These become the weapons
To spoil their innocence
To rot their fragile sense
You make the poor teacher a scapegoat.
You need to make an introspection
To generate the lost values
Is just not my sole and whole duty
You all need to take up
A wake up call immediately.
