ABC, Easy As 1-2-3

A breath can determine everything;

Faith, gullibility, hope.

Innocent justice kills.

learned music never

Overtly plays quite right

So tell us, verily, with

Xylophone, yuequin, zither.

National Poetry Writing Month 2019, day 19. Prompt was to write an abecedarian poem, which strictly means 26 words using the letters of the alphabet as the starting letters of each word, in order. No idea what this one means, but it’s a fun challenge. Title today is borrowed from the Jackson 5 classic.
