Übermensch, Poetry by Manolis Aligizakis

Teacher

It was a foggy day when, like students, we entered

the school; found the teacher writing on the board

something narrating a familiar fable which we found

tasteless. The teacher welcomed us, especially the initiate,

who always inspired admiration with His graceful persona,

His stature and it was as if He led us to a garden full

of bloomed flowers, playful butterflies hanging from

threads of air, colorful spring, and the teacher repeated

to his students, ‘attention children attention, it isn’t

often that we have such a special visitor’, Übermensch

laughed and obviously pleased He said: ‘these students

are tomorrow’s Übermenschen.’
