"Which Man Are You ?" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 28/11/2005

Location

United Kingdom

Are You The ... "Top Man" ... ???
Or The ... "Middle Man" ... ???

Or The Man below Wanting To Be Them ... !?!

I'm NONE of These I'm Simply ... ME ... !!!

A Man Who Tries To Live My Life ...
And NOT CONTRIVE To Follow Guys ...
Who Are UNWISE And Fall In Line ...

Corporate Thieves Who Lie And Cheat ... !!!
To Make A Life That's Incomplete ...

Money And Drugs And OTHER Stuff ...
Don't Make You ... " Tough " ... !!!
And Do Not Help You Find TRUE Love ... !!!!!

Being ON TOP Is A DANGEROUS Spot ... !!!
Because People PLOT To See You DROP ... !!!

It's A LONG WAY Down Be CAREFUL Now ... !!!
You May Fall Where You CAN'T Be Found ... !!!
Just Like Those Who ... CHERISH Pounds ...

Pounds In CASH Or POUNDS of Hash ...
Can Burn You Like ... " A Lightning Flash " ... !!!!!!!!

No Chance To See A Recovery ... !!!!!

That's Why I Write My Poetry ...
To Leave The Youth My Legacy ...

One That Proves It's Cool To Be ...
A Humble Man Who Deals In Truth And Being Cool ... !!!

NOT A FOOL ... !!!
Who Moves Through Life With EVIL CREWS ... !!!!!!
Crews Who Use REAL Shady Moves ... !!!

Moves That Use MANIPULATION ...
To GAIN Elevation To HIGHER Stations ... !!!

One ABOVE ... "See you later bruv' !" ...

People Like These Sometimes Use Guns ...
And Are The Ones' Who'll Sell You Drugs ... !!!

BOTTOM of The Pile They RARELY Smile ... !!!
And Normally Have A ... BLEMISHED File ... !!!!!

Now I'm NOT Trying To Criticise ...
But Wonder Is it Really Wise ... ???

To ENVY Those With LAVISH Lives ... ?!?

Money Makes Your Life Contrived ...
And Brings You Lows As Well As HIGHS ... !!!!!!

To BETTER YOURSELF Requires NO WEALTH ... !!!

But Money HELPS In Modern Times ...
But NOT As Much As ... USE of MIND ... !!!

An Allie of The ... " MIDDLE Guy " ...

Now This Guys Eyes Stay OPEN WIDE ... !!!!!

He Makes STRONG Ties But Does NOT Ride ....
With Those Who TAKE To Feed Their Lives ... !!!!!!

Those Involved In ... " Corruption " ...
ESPECIALLY Those Who Use TRUNCHEON ... !!!!!!

These Are Men Who KILL For Fun ... ?!?
And Have NO FEAR of Using GUN ... !!!!!

Men Like These Will Sell Their SON ... !?!
Or Their Daughter And Leave Them SLAUGHTERED ... !!?!!

WHY ... To FUEL Their FOOLISH Pride ... !!!!!
And To Prove They Are ... " TOP GUY " ... !!!

See Once You're IN And Flying High ...
You May Survive And Live Life NICE ... ?!?

But Nowadays GREEDY Displays ....
Can Make A Man LAYER Your Cake ... !!!
And Leave You With An EMPTY Plate ...
And An Early Date With Fate That's GRAVE ... !!!!!

Everyone ... Is NOT Your Mate ... !!!
Words Like These Need NO DEBATE ... !!!!!

HEED Them PLEASE Don't Make Mistakes ...
Because You May Pay A Price That's GREAT ... !!!!!

" I want to change ! " ...

" Sorry, too late !!! " ...

DON'T Cut Your Nose To Spite Your Face ... !!!
Check These Words I Now Relate ...

I'm Saying YES Make UPWARD Moves ...
But Please Be Shrewd Trust In YOU ... !!!!!!

NOT ... " Shady Crews " ... !!!!

Crews Like THESE Will Watch You BLEED ... !!!!!
If Your Downfall Feeds Their Needs ... !!!!!

GREED Is Now What Life's About ...

But Greed Can Lead To Seeing FROWNS ...
And May Just Be What Brings You DOWN ... !!!!!

ALL of Us Including ... " ME " ...
Life Is NOT About Money ... !!!!!!

Aspire YES To ... " eleVATE " ...
And Get Your Share of Corporate Cake ...

DON'T Just TAKE And DON'T Be ... " FAKE " ... !!!!!

JEALOUSY ... Leads To MISTAKES ... !!!

Now Fellas DON'T Get It Confused ... !!!!!!
Bottom, Middle, or The Top ...

Ask Yourself .....

" Which Man Are YOU ? " .....
