Distance Learning - a verse

Distance Learning 

She was detached and harsh
So I could see it coming 
The inevitable ending 
There was no use in running 

Her cool empty eyes
Her incongruent ways
Erratic behaviour 
Irritable for days and days 

Conflict and tension
Only time she at home 
Loves talking about herself
On the telephone 

Spoilt princess
Everything on her terms
Have to fit in around her
Or else it burns 

Psychopathic liar
The wounded healer 
Unless she's your tutor 
Then instead the non feeler
.
Don't disturb her too much 
She wants an easy life
Expect help with your work 
Get trouble and strife 

She wants a distance 
I - it not thou
Robotic teaching 
Not we together shall

It's not about us
Drop the you or we
It's only about her 
Forget about me 

She comes in to lecture 
Not to teach
Doesn't want interaction 
Or any rapport reached 

One lot in, next intake in
conveyor belt factory 
So long as they pass 
it's satisfactory 

Doesn't practise 
What she preaches
Doesn't full in line
With what she teaches

Punishing those
For being there 
Taking up her time 
She's tired be fair!

Always projecting 
Out on others
Her outlet here
She rules above us

Bully in the glass room 
What she like when not at work?
Some people say 
Once a jerk always a jerk 

Is this what they call
Distant learning?
She's here but not 
Her distance yearning 

Oh warm counsellor
Caring and kind
Walk in my shoes 
Take me as you find

It was only Ms Field
Who was gentle with soul
The rest of the group
Far away from such goal.
