Is Everything Backwards? Part II

Below is the second half of  an acrostic poem written in reverse---that is, from Z to A---by special guest site visitor Rustie, a blind man who “writes” poetry on a tape recorder. The two parts of this acrostice are posted in the BeaneryWriters Group category  BW Visitor Writings.

M is for millions of young people like you.

    Who really aren’t sure what they want to do.

L is for love, a commodity missing’

    It goes deeper than petting, hugging and kissing.

K is for knowledge, obtain it indeed;

    You’ll need a diploma, if you’re going to succeed.

J is for journey, traveling through life;

   Youth is a small part, regardless of the strife.

I is for indignant, don’t look at life that way;

   Smile at others, it will improve your day.

H is for hope, each one of us possess it;

    Some more than others, it won’t hurt to confess it.

G is for God, hold Him in first place;

    Keep you hand in His, and you will win the race.

F is for faults, and that, not a few;

    But don’t feel ashamed, adults have them too!

E is education , not all learned from pages;

    But gotten through life, in various stages.

D is for doubts, each one of us have had;

    But you’re not alone friend, although you are sad.

C is for character, the building block of life;

    You can rise above it, your sorrow and strife.

B is buffoon, the proverbial clown;

    You try to act silly when you’re feeling down.

A is for author, a writer indeed;

    You’ve written our story, now we see your need.

The story doesn’t stop here, this isn’t the end;

    It’s just the beginning, let’s help them, my friend.
