I am a Professor

I am a Professor

I am a professor
Because I know my time
I am a professor
Because I respect my time
I am a professor
Because I don’t play with time

Time is life
Life is time
If you waste your time
You waste your life
Time is like a bird
Once it flies away, you may never see it again

I am professor
Because I spend my time well
I don’t sleep when duty calls
I don’t work when body hungers for sleep

I have my time to play
I have my time to work
When play becomes more than the ocean
You become lazy
When work becomes higher than the mountain
You become lonely

I am a professor
I have friends and families
I am not lonely
I am a professor
I work hard to live
I am not a lazy fellow

Only professors like me
Make the world a better place
If you are not a professor
Then you’re just a learner
Leaving responsibility in your hands
Is endangering entire humanity
