The Teacher

This poem emphasizes on the features of a teacher.

An individual tries with numerous cries,

To make their future better.

But they make out the mockery,

With gibberish talk and clatter.

He is that patient wick who was never sick,

Of being burned for other's sake.

'The frugal time will always flit'

Such teachings and statements he always make.

With many sights, various lives he lights,

An amicable and pleasant character.

He, who always follow impartiality,

Uplift the child in every sector.

I really bow before such a creature.

He is none other than a teacher.

It is again a beautiful work by a beautiful author. A teacher is very important in an individual's life who leads him/her from dark to light. Really the very comparison you made between a teacher and a candle is worth commendable. The sacrifice of wax is same as the sacrifice of energy and time of a teacher. This is penned well. Thanks for sharing.

I think it only requires three word changes.
In "Such teachings and statements he always make."
I would change make to made

and in "With many sights, various lives he lights,"
i would change lights to lit.
(this also rhymes with the earlier word "flit")

lastly, in "He, who always follow impartiality,"
I would change follow to followed

Those changes make the poem grammatically correct without changing your original vision or writing style.

I love this poetry, God also has given first place to a GURU as per Saint Kabir Das Ji..Teachers are the great persons who do so much for us with great pains and patience to teach us new things, he/she encourages us checks us when we are wrong, if they find that their disciple are on some wrong path they advice sincerely.

I think what is being described here is one who has attained a higher state of consciousness and now seeks to help others to similarly rise. Such teachers arise from time to time in all cultures, and they contribute over time to a general elevation of the human race.

I love it just the way it is. Things like words and song often come to us from various places and should be represented in their raw form. This is full of heavy and powerful emotions. Thank you
