If life was as easy as ABC
I’d see
To it I know my alphabet
But if I don’t get
It I’d turn to numeracy
And with accuracy
Memorize all but if I still fail
If I can’t nail
Either I’d have no choice but to learn
How to earn
My stripes in life
Which would make me come alive

angel of the blue light ambulance
Carved from diamond carbon building block's
of inner strength inside
Heaving pushing lifting stress aside
forcing it from other's out
Sadly misadventure an accident has
some poor soul befallen mischief upon
Chaperoning them through the
park to patiently wait there turn
in line before the gates where the
remenant leftover are also waiting
to be processed

Spending oftentimes with friends at the campus
There the lives of young minds may stay
And always stay with literacy and numeracy
That they share words and unveil the truth.
Learning things with the help of their facilitators and friends
An activity for collaboration, the mentor says
A half-baked output can even show an accomplishment
And the conscious adolescents may act with honesty.
Sketching colored shapes in line with black and white,
As they end up assigned tasks-moving from left to right,
And the sightless pens claim of such hypothesis and metaphor,
Might lead them to wit all these and claim pretty lies.
Asking question on how do young minds learn
That they might comprehend deception and nod nude acceptance,
What the school needs are students with genuine hearts,
And do things right then, dwell a life with integrity.

One step, two traps
Three strikes, four stabs...
You’ve become the toilets of our lives
The annoyance at the end of our knives
A convenient offload like a couch in the middle of the road
The white lion evicted out of the African pride
Existing only in numeracy in captivity
Enclosed for curiosity...never to roam free
Five slaps, six kicks
Seven screams, eight fists...
Nine corrective rapes ...
Ten hate crimes...
Another extreme form of humanity
An expression of the dynamic of life’s versatility
If he’s the cross reference
Then let's be the difference
The salt in the Dead sea
The end to the death we see
