These Days I Have To Say...
That When It Comes To Wordplay...
That I... Now Put To Page....

I REALLY Am Getting...
Much Better With Age... !!!

There’s Much LESS Rage...
In Verse That I Display...
Than When I First Started...
... Lyrically BLASTING... !!!

On Subjects Like....
Societal Pain Within My Rhymes...

Things Are Much The Same...
And Haven't Really Changed... !!!

So Now I DON’T Time Waste...
Or Waste As Much Space...
On Paper I Use To Share My Views...

I’m Now More Concise...
When I Write My Rhymes...
..... About Mankind.....

And About How Our Lives...
Have Become Contrived...
Because of Wise Guys...
Who... Tell Us LIES... !!!

Especially Those With Government Ties...
But It’s Okay... Because While They Dictate...
I’m Getting... BETTER With AGE... !!!

My Body Now ACHES...
But I’m NO Longer Teenaged... !!!

But Still Have A Brain That Functions Okay...
And Creates... SO MUCH...
Poetic Stuff That’s Rough And Tough... !!!

That I No Longer Need...
People To Feed My Wish To Be Seen...

As A... Talented Guy..
My Rhyme Designs CLEARLY Define...
That... EXCEPTIONAL Works...
Come From My Verse And Use of Words... !!!

That Are Filled With Lines...
Built For... The WISE... !!!

My Wisdom... SHINES...
Throughout My Rhymes...
So Now I Recognise The Reasons Why...

I’m NOT The One Who Will Become...
Admired And Loved By... Everyone...

I NO LONGER WANT THAT...
To Be One Whose TRAPPED...
By Fickle Fans Or Hollywood Clans...

Cos’ I Now OVERSTAND’...
The Way They SCAM...
Through DEVIOUS Plans...
And... DUD Contracts... !!!
That Impose Controls On Desperate Souls...
Who Seem Desperate To Go Into DARK Zones... !!!

To Join The CLONES Whose Dreams Are SOLD...
To... Corporate Folds To Be Turned To GOLD...

And Platinum Too So Now I’m Cool...
Because I’ve Been... Shrewd... !!!
So REFUSED To Choose...
To Move With These Crews... !!!

Because of.....
Things I’ve Viewed And Been Privy To... !!!

...... Creative Dudes......
With Mind States Confused...
OBTUSE And... RUDE... !!!

EGOS... SO HUGE...
That They Could Consume...
... Hot Air Balloons... !!!!!!

... BAD ATTITUDES... !!!

Girls Willing To USE...
*** As Their TOOL...
To... Get To Groove...
With The Coolest Crews...

... They’re Being FOOLED.... !!!

Cos’ It’s A CRAZY Place...
The One Where... FAME...
Rules Just Like... CAIN... !!!

So YES Deals In PAIN...
That Drives Many INSANE...
Just To Get Paid And Have A Well Known Face...

So I Now... REFRAIN...
From Embracing The CHASE... !!!

Cos’ RATS RULE The Game...
Where Fame Is MISPLACED...

As Being What Makes...
A Person... “ GREAT “...

It’s Such A SHAME...
That We Have Been TRAINED...
To Believe The HYPE...
BEHIND Famous Types... !!!

Whose Guise CAN'T HIDE...
What They’re REALLY Like... !!!

So Me... I’m A Guy...
Whose Now Recognised...
That It All LOOKS Fine..
When You're On The OUTSIDE...

Success Can’t Be Defined...
By A Monetary Prize Or A Lavish Life... ?!?
Because... Pursuit of Fame...
Is A Game For LAME BRAINS... !!!

So I’m Now HAPPY To Say...
That My ONLY CLAIM...
About The Rhymes I Create...

Is That Just Like Me...
... They’re Getting.....

.... “ Better With Age “....
Sometimes, you're progression as a person/writer, is a more pleasing achievement, than mass praise and fame, in my opinion now, having learned and seen what i've seen !
