"Work" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 22/7/2016

I'm NOT ONE To Shirk When It Comes To Work... !!!
But See That Some JERKS Like To Run DUMB Words... !?!?!
Like...
... " Virge is so Lucky ! His life seems YUMMY !
... He and his bed, are the best of friends !
... When he gets up, my work day's done ! "
.... "Well that's because, i’m an artist son,
.... who isn't in view on entertainment news !
.... Isn't what we do, a form of working too ?"
You See I Work In Ways That EMPLOY My BRAIN...
In... DIFFERENT Ways To The Modern Day SLAVE... !!!!!
Who Just WORKS To Get ...... PAID ...... !!!
You See The WORK That I Do EMPLOYS My Brain Tool...
So... ISN'T Valued By These New Age FOOLS... !!!!!
Bosses Whose Losses Have Bonuses DROPPing... !!!!!
Have You Been Paid Off Cos' Your Job's Been Lost... ?!?
Like Money That Was Given To... BERNIE MADOFF... !!!
Are YouThe Type of Bod' Who CLAIMS To LOVE THEIR JOB... !?!
EVEN THOUGH Your Boss Treats You Like His DOG... !?!?!
Do You HATE Your Boss Because of What He's GOT... ?
THAT You CAN'T HAVE Cos' Your Wage Is... BAD... !!!!!
Cos' You Work Like A SLAVE For A... " minimum wage "... !!!!!!
While Those Who Shirk Work Seem To Be... WELL PAID... ?!?
Well I Guess NOWADAYS That MOST Would Say That They...
... " Work to survive, cos' that's just life ! "
Well I've Done MY TIME Working On THE FRONTLINE... !!!
So Let Me MAKE THIS CLEAR To... JUDGEMENTAL Ears... !!!!!
MY LIFE's Work Has Made Me Learn That Money BURNS For Worms To TURN... !!!
I Turned My BACK On A Life Like THAT... !!!
When My Mothers' Health Left Her........... UNWELL.......... !!!!!!
So I Worked for Her UNTIL Her... Death... !!!
NOT Pounds or Pence. Cos' It Made NO SENSE...
To Be Making Pounds While Her Health Was... "Drowned" ... ?!?
Because WITHOUT Her... Where Would Big Virge Be... ???
In Her Womb WITHOUT Room To MOVE Or... "Breathe"... !!!!!!!
See I WORKED To GET HERE YES I DID COMPETE...
To EARN My Place In ... HUMANITY ... !!!
So I IGNORE Clowns Who KEEP Running Their Mouth... !!!!!!
UNLESS YOU KNOW My Story STOP WITH Your Allegories... !!!
Cos' I've Worked In Ways That Required NO PAY... !!!
Because MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Was My Mothers Diagnosis... !!!!
So I Had NO Month of Notice Or Time For Quick Promotions... !!!!
Cos' THESE Words HERE I'm Quoting Are NOT THOSE Made For JOKING... !!!
Some of The WORK I CHOSE To Do Has Left Some People BROKEN... !!!!!!!!
But STILL Some CLAIM ... " I'm LAZY "... ?!?
These People MUST BE CRAZY... !!!!!!
My Work DEFINES My BEING Cos' I'm Working When I'm Sleeping... !!!!!
Just Like My Heart KEEPS Beating My Mental's ALWAYS Breathing... !!!!!
Cos' NOW My Art is Where My Heart...
Is Making MARKS WITHOUT The Charts... !!!!!
My Artistry's An INDUSTRY Because It's CREATIVITY's...
BEYOND Those Built For... SLAVES You See... !!!!
Is That You... Cos' That's NOT ME... !!!!!
One Day Maybe The INDUSTRY...
Will SEE These Words As Being Worth...
MORE THAN Verse That's DEEMED To WORK...
Because It FEEDS... Chickens Like JERKS... !!!!!
Who CHOOSE To SLAVE For A.... " Daily Wage “...
A Wife And Kids And A House That's BIG... !!!!!
Well That's ALL GOOD If You Work For... YOU... !!!
But CLEARLY MOST Work For... THE MAN... !!!
And Seem Quite Willing To Do HIS BIDDING... !!!!
It May Seem That We DON'T Do Much...
But Artists STARVE For Work We LOVE... !!!!!
So BEFORE You Choose To CAST... " Aspersions "...
I Suggest You INFUSE Some... HIGHER LEARNING...
Cos' NOWADAYS It's Well Observed...
There Are MANY THINGS That DEFINE....
......... " WORK ".........
