Alpathetical Disorder

The alphabet was the first thing that we learned when we were young,
The simplest of theories that flowed straight off the tongue,
The ease of every letter providing us with new knowledge,
The catalyst of learning and to that I now pay homage.

As my mind does expand and my vocabulary does grow,
I think back to the start were my potential did first show,
Every single opinion we verbalise, write or think,
Is nothing without the alphabet to keep our words in sync.

I present to you now the most updated version,
A warning to our minors to help them elude submersion,
An early glimpse of truth to help avoid the lies,
The mess they call control I bluntly summarize.

{Pause}

A is for altruism rendered invisible,
B is for the boring lines rehearsed and immutable,
C is for corruption by the hands of those corrupted,
D is for the disruption of tradition interrupted,
E is for the emphasis of a difference in class, 
F is for the fragility of our futures cracked like glass,
G is for the glutton showed by those that stand empowered,
H is for a hierarchy filled top to toe by cowards, 
I is for imagination quelled by conformity,
J is for judgmental eyes glaring at deformity,
K is for the kindling of the fires of disrespect,
L is for the limelight thrust upon cranial neglect,
M is for those misused minds wandering our streets, 
N is for a narcissism fueled by undue conceits,
O is for the oxymoron we call our daily lives,
P is for a Prime Minister made up entirely of lies,
Q is for the quashing of differential views,
R is for the reality so many avidly refuse,
S is for the stupidity we pathetically glorify,
T is for the scary truth that morals here do die,
U is for the unknown that we fear, avoid, reject,
V is for the vapidity of ignorant retrospect,
W is for the wall between destruction and salvation,
X is for a xenophobia given incorrect allocation, 
Y is for our impatient youth unaware of diligence, 
and Z is just for Zebra to represent lost innocence.
