It’s AMAZING To Me...  
How People Be.... !!?!!  

When People Complain...  
They Start To Act Strange...

As If It’s... ILLEGAL...
  
To Complain About Strain...  
And... Societal PAIN...  
  
As If It’s NOT OKAY...  
To Talk About The Way...  
We Live Today... ?!?  
  
Political Games...  
That DON'T Delay...  
When It Comes To TAXATION...  
And RAISING Inflation... !!!  
  
INFLATED Indeed...  
Is What They Deem...  
To Be What They NEED...  
  
To Supply Their GREEDY...  
... Devious MEANS...
  
But You... "Shouldn’t Complain !"...  
  
Is What People Say...  
  
Just... "Get On With Things !"...  
Even When They... STING... ?!?  
  
Which Makes Little Sense...  
To A Man Like... ME...  
  
Whose Poetry DEFIES These Trends...  
And Entertainment That Now PRESENTS...  
A LOT of NONSENSE Within It’s Content... !!!  
  
So Why Do CERTAIN Heads...  
Get To Criticise Then... ?!?  
  
By Using Things That Are Said...  
To CLEARLY Cause Offence... ?!?  
  
And Then Get PAID...  
To Treat People This Way... ?!?  
  
Is It ALL A... “ Game “... ?!?  
  
If NOT What Kind Of Trend...  
Is This To... SET... ???  
  
And Now They Wonder Why... ?  
Some Youth Are UNCOUTH...  
And Deal In THREATS...  
And USING... KNIVES... ?!?  
Because of Something Said...  
On An Internet Thread... !?!  
  
Well When It Comes To Complaints...  
Let Me Set This STRAIGHT...  
  
Better OUT Than In...  
I Think’s... The Way...  
  
Because It’s CLEARLY BETTER...  
Than Being A... Pretender... !!!

Who LIES To YOURSELF...  
Whatever The Weather...  
  
DENIAL Leads To Trials...  
Where The TRUTH Profiles...  
That It Can Be Lethal...  
To Deny The TRUTH...  
  
Cos’ It’s’... NOT ILLEGAL...  
To... FLY Like An Eagle...  
When EXPRESSING To People...  
  
Emotions And Feelings...  
That Leave Folks REELING...  
When They DENY Dealing...  
With Things That Give BEATINGS..........
  
To Minds Inclined...  
To Keep Their Thoughts...  
... “LOCKED TIGHT”...  
  
When They’re DARK Like The Night...  
That NEEDS To Meet The Light Of Day...  
  
Where It’s Safe To Say...  
That People Now Complain...  
  
About Financial Strain...  
... Political Games....  
Violence Displayed...  
In The Streets Today... !!!  
  
****** Strains...  
Being Taught To The Straight...  
About Being... GAY... !!!  
  
I Mean If You Can’t Complain...  
What Will People Do... ?!?  
  
Resort In The End...  
To... Pulling TOOLS...  
Rather Than AIR...  
Their Point Of View...  
  
Because That’s NOT COOL... !!!
  
Do You Get What It Is...  
That I’m Saying To You... ???  
  
Whether It’s A Complaint...  
Or Because You Feel Blue...  
  
The Power of Expression...  
Is... GOOD To Use... !!!  
  
When It EASES The Valve...  
Where PRESSURE Cooks... !!!!!
  
Don’t Let Other People...  
Tell You What You Should Do... !!!!!  
  
Sometimes We NEED To Vent...  
BELIEVE... That’s TRUE... !!!
  
Expression is A Thing...  
That Should FLY Like An Eagle... !!!!  
  
Because Whether You’re Complaining...  
Or TRUTHFULLY Relating...  
  
About Things That Are LETHAL... !!!  
Don’t Let People Deceive You....  
  
Because The TRUTH is THIS...
  
... “ It’s NOT Illegal ! “...
As the poem says folks !
