used to

used to
bake for my students
on days of
big tests

now
stocked up
on goodies
junk food

my students
used to
appreciate
that I taught them
specially
so for the first time
they passed tests
never missed lessons

so how could I not
bake
like for my own kids

but
the younger generation
thinks
"magui'ah li"
my right, no efforts needed
--they expect
to pass
as if teacher's responsibility

so
purchased some
junk food
for mock and real exams
to keep their energy up
since sleeping's not on their schedule
along with studying

they're not as tough
as their predecessors

my students
used to
work harder
used to appreciate

so
I used to bake
