Is Everything Backwards? Part I

Z sums it all up, however you go;

    It can stand for zenith, or also zero.

Y is for years traveled by youth

    Frustrated, bewildered, looking for truth.

 X is for X-ray, let me explain:

     We’d like to see into your mind and your brain.

W is for wisdom, that you could have had;

     But you chose to refuse it and that makes us sad.

V is victorious over all doubts and fears;

    But you will not achieve it by believing your peers.

U is for uniform, stiff, starchy and cold;

    Don’t let the world press you in their mold.

T is for things that you think you need;

    But don’t be possessed by worldly greed.

S is for sour, a sorrowful feat;

    But we’ll love you more whenever you’re sweet.

R is respect, how for it you yearn;

    Give it to you elders, and it will return.

Q is for quality, a state to achieve;

    Be honest with others if you’d have them believe.

P is personality, pleasant or poor;

   There’s no doubt about it, you’ve got one for sure.

O is obnoxious, a real nasty state;

    Should you choose to be pleasant, you could become great.

N is for normal, but that’s poor advice;

    Think it over my friend, you’re much better nice.
