The A.K.A.

 I worked hard as an ant and turned into a chimpanzee

As a vulture I looked for prey and ate meat only

Then I was an animal with a tail like a string

I did not like the form I was given so I had to do something

I went to the Animal Kingdom Authority and they sent me back

This time I was in the form of a gray palm rat

I went to the Animal Kingdom Authority and said I was not ready

Then I turned to a roach–always moving and never steady

 

I went to the Animal Kingdom Authority and pleaded my case

They agreed to what I said and I was a piggy pink face

 

I went to the Animal Kingdom Authority and told them they made a mistake

No matter how I came back, I always needed a remake

 

I wanted to be away from the forms that I knew

All on the ground and including those that flew

Also those that swam in waters who had the best view

After all this, I was left with just a few

 

I have lived through the circle in this spiritual race

With all Your mercy and with all Your grace

I realized my failures and I yearn for a cure

Make me a human so I can turn my soul pure

As a human, I promise to keep You by my side

Your greatest creation, the ability to think and decide
