7 To Students on Their Returning to Classes

by Eric Chaet

Hope that
you are eager
to learn
the wise ones’ ways,
that you don’t fall
distracted
into the common daze.

Hope that
you are skeptical:
question all you hear!
if told
all good is far away
or old or new or near.

Every teacher isn’t wise,
neither are all fools.
Many people lose their way
while others gain, in schools.
