A poem written by a Saudi teacher W.Al-Ghamdi

2. My Dim life at School

3. Negative images can hardly be erased It’s not so easy, as the principal has said Piles of upsetting experiences going all over my little head

4. Turning the whole place into a real mess ! More harmony needed, I strongly guess Lessons, activities and fairs scattered in every spot Neither that was the purpose nor was the plot

5. Running feet, stepping carelessly, no aim Looking lost, the teachers are losing the game Disturbing acts have been done Listen, the teacher is the intentioned one a teacher

6. Poor teachers, stress has come to a peak Lessons to explain and then hide and seek

7. Vandalism, all over, is like a normal action done Don’t bother yourself, they’re only having fun !

8. Trends of latest fashion are vigorously set Let them express themselves ! Is it hard to get ?

9. Glittery make up on rainbow faces spread Uncontrollable stormy moods, ought to be led

10. Guards, oops! teachers, hey keep your weary eyes open wide Teach fondly, never forget watch shifts beside

11. Don’t ever think of losing your temper Though you are wholly eaten by anger

12. Oh ,here comes another teacher ruined in fighting It’s not that gloomy ,please stop your nail biting

13. Hypothesis would be flatly applied worldwide But it’s a government school, you’ve to put in mind

14. 50+ in each class are eager to be fed 48 lessons are squeezed to fit, instead

15. Forget about creativity, ignore the mentality, it's been faded Hurry, the squares on the students reports have to be shaded

16. Impossible mission is the real name Killing you after torture is the aim

17. Imaging myself as an electronic machine To grade these quizzes, I need a vaccine

18. Dear supervisors , please hold on You are our last hope Tens of assessment papers, come on We are really trying to cope

19. Changes seem, to us, out of reach But all messages need believers to preach

20. Lighten up a candle is the only leading way out Efforts must be all directed, one can’t do, no doubt

21. Felt and framed in words by Wafa Al-Ghamdi Dhahran First Secondary School

22. You Thank Thank You Thank You You ou
