I Dunno Sometimes...
What It Is With Some Folks...

When It Comes To Their Dough... ?!?

... Dropping Lines....
Like Dopes On Coc’... !!!

About The Cash...
That They Claim To Have Stashed...
When In ACTUAL Fact...

They’re Financially TRAPPED...
Because They OWE...

Their Bank And Fam’...
And CAN’T Withstand...
The Pressures of...
NOT Having Enough...
To Support Their Quotes...

That They Can Help You...
Cos’ Your Cash Has Run Low...

Well These Words Here...
Are For These Heads...
Who Switch Like Feds’...
In... Internal Affairs... !!!!!!!!

You Need To Get This CLEAR...

... If You Can’t Then DON’T... !!!

When It Comes To Matters...
Where Cash Is A Factor...
That People Need...
Because People Bleed...
If They Can’t Keep...
From... Insolvency... !!!

And Covering Debts...
Like Just Paying Their Rent... !!!

DON’T Lie Or PRETEND...
If You KNOW That You...
Are UNABLE To Lend...
Just... Tell The TRUTH... !!!

Sometimes You Have To ACCEPT...
That You Just Can’t Help...
... Family Or Friends... !!!

And Let THEM DECIDE...
What To Do To Survive...

Some May Choose...
To Just End The Ride...
That Has Taken Their Life...
Towards The... DARK SIDE... !!!

And Things Like... Suicide... !!!

It’s NOT Your Fault...
If That’s THEIR Call... !!!

The Ether May Be...
Where They NEED To Be... !!!

Because Life On Earth...
Doesn’t Always Work...
And Some Refuse...
To Play By The Rules...
That You Choose To Infuse...

Like Working For Those...
Who Keep Folks Controlled...
By DICTATING How...
Your Life Goes Down... !!!

Like They’re Doing Now...
Cos’ Corona’s Around... !!!

Some Choose Not To Follow...
Beg Steal Or... Borrow...

Or Make Claims That Are Hollow...
To AVOID... Dark Tomorrow’s...

If Money’s What Rules...
The Way That You Move...

Then RECOGNISE THAT...
And KEEP Your Cash... !!!!!!!!

DON’T Try To Play...
That You’ll Be Okay...
With Having To Wait...
For You To Get Paid...
For Cash You’ve Outlaid...

It’s Really OKAY...
Sometimes To Say NO...
And Let A Person Know...

That You Just CAN’T Do...
What You’d Like To Do...

So Remember This Quote... !!!

... If You Can’t Then DON’T... !!!

You Don’t Have To Feel Bad...
Or Remotely Sad...
If Doing That...
Makes Someone Crash... !!!

They Must Walk THEIR Path...
Even If It’s HARD...
And Marks Their Cards...
Like... Poker Sharks... !!!!!!

Everybody Can’t Win...
But Here’s The Thing... !!!

If You’ve Been Shown...
That There Are Ways...
You Can Get Repaid...

By Those You KNOW...
To Be STAND UP Folks... !!!

Then RECOGNISE...
That It Might Take Time...
But Things Will Be Alright...
But Might Take A Little While... !!!

So These Last Lines...
In This Set of Rhymes...
Are Words For The Wise...

DON’T CLAIM Things...
That You CAN’T Stand By... !!!

... ESPECIALLY IN...
What Are DIFFICULT Times... !!!

Because You May PRESSURISE...
A Mind Inclined...
To Take That Ride...
Towards Vader’s Side... !!!

So DON’T Make Quotes...
Or... Lend Out Dough...
If DEEP DOWN You KNOW...
That You CAN’T Cope...
With Losing Bank Notes...
And... Letting Them Go.. !!!

Because This Is The Line...
That You Know You Should Toe...

“ If You CAN’T Then DON’T “
Money matters can make people, say and do, some very strange things !
