Alliterations


Obligations to another because

Of a question asked

Out of need for recognition

Or the conformity to standards

 

Obligation to someone who

Only knows you in the manner

Of interpretation. Not

Out of respect.

 

Only for an arm to join

Or a person to chauffeur around

Opportunity to be valid taken

Out of another’s being

 

Only there to show the world who

Out of all those among us, they

Offer as a sign of

Opulence.
