The ABC's

I aim and aspire to act like an acrobatic Aristotle
Alliteration on full throttle
Navigating a metaphor on a sea so smooth
I might as well be the captain of a ship in a bottle.
Believing bogus benedictions begets backwards bias
I reject Bible-beaters who claim to be pious
But continue to belittle, berate and harbor bitterness
If your god rewards that, I'll have no part of this.
Carefully crafted calligraphy changes the city's consciousness
Crude phrases without meaning lack emphasis and simple phonics
I don't mind demeaning if my cause you're mistreating
Because something as important as community deserves a second reading.
And don't demean our daughters' dreams
Cause doing so is detrimental
Don't think their actions or thoughts have no potential.
Explaining excitement, even emotion, is an easy education
Words flow constantly from our minds like limitless proclamations
These poetic ABCs are more than tongue-twisting declarations
They're literal libations
And this verbal bartender serves them up free to all nations.
I aim and aspire to liberate these frustrations
In verse.
