MORE … Than That … !!!    
    
So ask yourself … ?

from … " Smart Remarks " … !!!!!  
    
While you sit …  
in your … " Phat Yard " … !!!!!  
    
Those who … do this ..  
" Think " ... They're Smart … !!!!!  
    
Until ... Their World ...  
is … " RIPPED " … apart … !!!!!  
    
Nowadays ….  
in … Many Ways … !!!
