Classroom

Posted on by Hemalatha Ramesh

For a student his world is full of desks, chairs, chalks and books. With summers and autumns, with exposure to the sphere, better lessons are taught and learnt. Can there be a better teacher, a better classroom than life?

This post is in response Three line tales by Sonya.

I’m not sure if this sounds like a tale. I usually don’t write stories (never tried, to be frank), I still attempted it, since the picture intrigued me so much.

  9. Of course this is a great tale! There’s no other better teacher than life itself. It helps in developing who you are and guides you to be a better version of you.

    Loved this take on the prompt!

  13. The Order of A Class Room All Designed
    Neatly As Desks In Rows And A Chalkboard
    Centered For Every View With Of Course the

    Purpose Of Automating Humans to
    Oil The Big Wheels of Society
    That in Original Design
    of Meaning is to
    Make Life
    Happier Now

    And Not Such
    A Struggle Against the
    Chaos Art of Nature That
    Naturally Is Master of All

    Indeed Humans Rebel
    And Consume Nature
    With This Well Oiled Machine
    of Automating Human Beings

    So What Will Nature Have to Say
    About This Well Nature is All Do Yes
    Action And Consequence Naked with
    No Secrets For What Comes in View Next
    Floods, And Fires, And Pandemics, Just A Trinity
    To Start With More Powerful Storms to Simply Distribute

    Heat of Oceans More Now Real

    Well You See my Dear FRiEnD
    Hemalatha Humans Are Surely
    Not Any Happier Overall than Before
    What’s Lacking in A Moving Connecting
    Co-Creating Life May only Be Attached to

    Screens Far Away From Horizons of Heaven Evermore Springing
    Dancing Singing Free Without Restraint After Foraging Through
    The Day FRiEnDS With Gravity in Balance in Moving to Conserve
    Every Vital Calorie As Lions Gracefully Glide Across Savanah’s True
    Where Focus on Task And Never Distraction In Flow Difference Between
    Capturing Prey Now to Eat or Being Eaten By Larger Predator Same Yet

    Of Course

    The Lion

    Is King of
    the Savannah
    And Humans Naked
    Are Not So Now We Have
    The Classroom to Defeat the
    Lion From Eating Us And Are
    Eating NaTuRE ALL Our Only Home
    That Breathes and Feeds Us All So What

    Do i See Here As a Substitute Teacher of Poetry
    in Free Song And Dance in Free Steps Wherever i Glide
    FLoWinG FRiEnDS With Gravity of Life Just Another Center

    Served Rental Shoes
    At A Military Bowling
    Center in A Village

    of Human
    Beings

    Together
    Where the Common
    Religion Was 10 Pins
    And The Only War Then
    Between Humans Was Knocking

    Those 10 Pins Down it made People ToGeTHeR

    Happy True it Was Religion Then Enough For That…

    Eventually i Was Forced to Get Promoted to Stay in
    Government Service Attached to A Screen in an Office
    With A Title And A Computer And A Desk Again And 5 Times
    More Pay For 5 Years i Fell Again And This Go around it was
    more Severe Than 3 Months to Reboot 66 Months Shut-in
    With 19 Stress Related Disorders All A Synergy of Life
    Threat With No Prognosis of Recovery i Regained
    My Life Healing Through Song of Soul
    And Dance of Life Free Again

    And As Far as Science Goes as My Degrees Were in Anthropology,
    Social Sciences Interdisciplinary, And Health Science Far Away From
    My Natural Systemizing Skills That Eventually Earned me Promotions
    on my Own learning Through Information Technology and Financial Management…

    That i Thought i Escaped
    in College Yet Came Back
    to Haunt me to Earn a Living to
    Survive as We Most All Must Do

    With Mechanical Cognition Activities
