The old teacher weeps—
birds and flowers turn to dust,
planets lose their way.

    Even young dedicated teachers are weeping these days! What a challenge it must be to walk into a classroom.

    Oh poor thing – is he defeated by age or the lack of interest of his new pupils?

      I don’t think it’s either. Rather, I think it’s that the students aren’t interested in anything but their mobile devices! (But what do I know?)

    May be the teacher is crying because the planets/students have lost their way. He thinks of his pupils seriously.

    everything is dust
    lose one way – find another
    weep with happiness
