I was woken up by a nightmare 4: 24 a.m. June 24th

A past student had a problem which I thought should be shared in class

I searched my books, ran enough copies for comprehension for discussion

my wife's advice was sought

It was a lesson well planned

But when the sheets were handed

And the `please read the article and underline ..' was made

NOBODY heeded

A group at the back was discussing tonight's graduation dinner

my favourite student was in it

Others were just not listening

doing their own things

After several unheeded calls

a good scolding

an explanation of how the lesson was carefully planned

and a begging to behave

I stormed

Still

a student was working on his Chinese textbook, reading , writing

Infuriated

I grabbed hold of it and flung it out of the room

'Why did you do this?

Why dont you study?

Why do you do this to me?'

I was beyond myself

and pushed the teacher's desk forward

till rows of students' desks were pushed back

One student was aiming a camera at me, smiling

I grabbed it, opened it, pulled a spring out

and found no film inside

I was woken by my madness

a task has to be in black and white

and classroom rules should be three

dont disturb

listen and learn

do classwork and homework

punishment three

make up

say and write down you are sorry

let the school, parents and society know

Monitor task three

shout before I come in

SILENCE

BOOKS on DESKS

STAND UP

and Row Monitors

Collect Homework or Handbooks

put notice to parents on handbook

specific order is easy to follow

specific order is what they will only follow

specific order is why you are looked up to

specific order is the best of semins

the lionesses are looking forward to

a king to inseminate

so wipe out what is left behind

banish the former's leftover

bash the baby monkeys' brains

no reason their A.maths Bio, Chem, Chinese & Physics Lo Fu Tze, Leung Wing Kei or Whatever conversation are still there

They are not learning knowledge

they are learning survival

to look up to the strongest

Once you are up there

You are their king in the jungle

It's either a they-eat-you or you-eat-them no middle line

Civilization is a mass subconscious jerk off

Wishing what has never been, and never will be

dont fool yourself into believing in it

that all humans are worthy of respect

that some students are teachable, self initiated & should be respected

that you should be the architect of their souls

the soul just isn't there

just be a game warden playing fair

crack your whip hard at their tender flesh

do it to them or get slashed
