"The Drag Down" ... A Poem written 26/6/2013

What’s With What Comes Out of These... NEW AGE Clowns... !?!
ALWAYS Talking About OTHER Peoples’ Grounds... ?!?
In Some VAIN Attempt To AFFECT... The Drag Down... !!!

You Know What I Mean... !!!
The Type of FIENDS Whose INSECURITIES Lean...
Like The... Tower of Pisa...
Because Their Demeanour Is NEVER Straight... !!!!!
But That’s OKAY Because NOWADAYS....
I Let The MONKEYS... Have Their SAY... !!!
And Then Just Walk The OTHER Way... !!!!!!
Because Their TALK Just Gets Cut short...
If They Act Like MORK' When Orson Called... !!!
Humble But CHEEKY When Things They Say Make Attacks “So Sneaky”...
That In The End They Walk Away..... “ Quietly and Meekly “......
But The PROBLEM Nowadays Is That MOST Now WON’T... ?!?
........................ And That’s NOT A JOKE ......................... !!!!!!

They KEEP ON TRYING... !!!
To Act Like LIONS With NO ROAR... ?!?
Because Their Course...
Is CONTINUALLY LYING To THEMSELVES...
About Their WEALTH And Mental Health... !!!!!!!!!!!

Whilst Assessing Yours As Being Quite Poor... !!!

... “Your logic's not the only one !”

.... “Your point I’ve got and that is true !
.... But, let me tell you dude, you’re being rude.
.... My logic is at least, LOGICAL son !
.... While yours would appear to lack conviction ?”

That’s How I Now Drown The Sounds of Mouths...
TRYING To Use... What I Now Conclude...
To Be...... “ The Drag Down “ ...... !!!
To HURL ABUSE As If It PROVES That They ARE... " COOL "...
And Hold SMART VIEWS That YOU SHOULD Consume... ?!?

AGREE TO DISAGREE Is Now My Speech... !!!!!
Which Hardly EVER Seems To Reach...
The Minds of Peeps’ Who THINK They’re CLEVER... !!!
Cos' It’s CLEAR That They’re BETTER Than The AVERAGE GO GETTER... !!!!!
Because The Drag Down Is What They’ve FOUND... !!!
Serves Their EGO And Their PRIDE Like Luis Figo Used To SUPPLY...
THOSE... Barca Guys From NOU CAMP Touchlines... !!!!
But NEW AGE MINDS Are Touched By Lines...
In DIFFERENT Ways When HIT By Designs...
That DEFLate The Games They’re TRYING To PLAY... !!!!!
of Skirting Round... Words That SURROUND...
The Bed of LIES In Which They LIE...
Which Is NOT Wise And May Devise Their OWN DEMISE... !?!
These Days I Find SO MANY TRY To ACT As If They’ve GOT The GIFT... !!!
The PROBLEM Is Their Gifts Enlist...
SPREADING Things Where LIES Exist And COWARDICE Instead of BOLDNESS.... ?!?
It Seems They Live INSIDE A Shell And CLEARLY Think That ALL IS WELL... !!?!
Well GOOD FOR THEM Is What I Say But PROBLEMS Stem From Taking AIM...
At Those Whose Brains DON’T Entertain PRIDE Driven DISPLAYS Built To Save Face...
.......... TOO MANY Are Doing THIS STUFF These Days ......... !!!

Playing ROUGH When They’re NOT TOUGH... !!!
Aiming At Those Whose MENTAL Guns...
Are QUICK To EXPOSE Those RUNNING Gums... !!!
Because Their Mouths EXCEED Their Clout... !!!
Which is CLEARLY WHY They Have To TRY...
To MESS WITH Minds... That AVOID..........
Being Clowned By Those Who EMPLOY...
The Kinds of Ploys That GIRLS and BOYS....

USE IN.......... “ PLAYGROUNDS "......... !!!!!!

So When They Make NOISE...
I RETAIN My Poise And Let Them ENJOY Their Moment of JOY... !!!!!
Which They Seem To THINK Gives Them The... BIG WIN... !?!

When They Use Their MOUTHS To Attempt To INFLICT...
Some Kind of STING By YES Using What I’m NOW Naming...

........... As THIS........
