Surrounded by mundanity
Constricted by mediocrity
Suffocated by mendacity
Given to morbidity
Absence of magnanimity
Manacled to monstrosity
Making marks mechanically
To erase again as if magically
Leering misanthropy
Unable to shake the maddening malaise
Being a teacher causes malice in me.
being a teacher causes malice in me – say it isn’t so! The school year has just begun! The tone of this poem aligns with the ending malaise. Enjoyed it
Tongue planted firmly in cheek.. gin solves any lingering mists of malaise by providing a fog of optimismš¤£
hahaha fun poem — the Tiger Lilies have a wonderful song called “Gin”.
