I Drop Lyrical Jewels...
Like Seas Create Pools... !!!

So They’re Constantly Juiced...
To Find Wisdom To Use...

So My Jewels Are Infused...
With A Lot of What’s True...
Like Be Careful of Who...
You Believe To Be Cool... !!!

Because Many Will Choose...
To Play You For A Fool...
If You’ll Quickly Give Trust...
To Just ANY Human...

A BIG LYRICAL JEWEL... !!!
That’s NOT Good To Argue...
And That’s Just The TRUTH...
Because Life Gives You Proof...

You See Jewels Come In Forms...
Bred From DEEP Conscious Thoughts... !!!

So Aren’t Always Shiny...
But Should Be Used WISELY... !!!

So Lyrical Jewels...
Are Those of VALUE... !!!

Because What Is Written...
Can Reach And Touch MILLIONS...
Through Written Depictions...
of Descriptive Visions...
That Pass On WISE Thinking...
And Visions of Living...
In RIGHTEOUS Dominions... !!!

Of Course There’ll Be SINNING...
But With STRICT SUPERVISION...
Less Heads Might Be Willing...
To Think About KILLING...
ABUSING Our Women...
And ****** Our Children... !!!

My Lyrical Jewels...
Would Institute RULES...
That Leave Crews DESTITUTE...
Who Choose To Abuse...
Instead of Just COOL...
And Put Down Their Tools...

Rather Than Stab And Shoot...
Like IGNORANT BRUTES... !!!

Instead of Be Shrewd...
And Refuse Foolish Moves...
Like Bigoted Views...
That Create Pointless Feuds... !!!

And Embrace Things With Clues...
That Give Living Proof...
That What They SHOULDN’T Do...
Is Reject What Feeds TRUTH... !!!

Jewels That Can HURT...
But Are Those With MUCH Worth... !!!

That When Learned Can WELL SERVE... !!!
  
When You Walk In This World...
of Much That DISTURBS... !!!
That DOESN’T Calm Nerves... !!!

These Jewels Aren’t Just Words... !!!

Their Fifty One Years...
of BIG VIRGE Being Here...
Living On Planet Earth...

Filled With Jewels That Have Worth...
But Not Quite Like Virge Verse... !!!

And That Line Is The TRUTH...
It’s NOT ARROGANCE Fuelled... !!!

There Are Only A FEW...
But There Are OTHERS TOO...
Who Drop Lyrical Jewels...
In The Verse That They Use... !!!

We ALL Have Our Styles...
And Words That Profile...
The Lyrical Jewels...
That Come From Our World View...

But MANY Are BROKEN...
Leaving FEW Who Are CHOSEN...
To Drop Jewels So GOLDEN...
That They Seem ALL KNOWING...

When All That They're Showing...
Is That When We Write...
There’s TRUTH In Our Rhymes...
So REALITY SHINES... !!!

Like A JEWEL IN THE NIGHT... !!!

Which Leads To This LAST Line...

Here Is The LAST Jewel...
That Shines BRIGHT In LIES Eyes... !!!

TRUTH CANNOT Be Denied... !!!

And ALWAYS Will Find...
It’s Way To The LIGHT... !!!

So It’s Time To Just Cool...
My Mind For A Few...

Knowing Now That I’ve Left You...

With Some.....

....... “ Lyrical Jewels “.......

Could it be
I've never seen
Beauty in me
Took time to reflect
On all that I am
I haven't shared everything I can
On this soul-searching road
The winds and turns
Each corner holds secrets
Each road taken holds challenges untold
Which road you choose is how life unfolds
Some are rougher, Sometimes it's smooth sailing
All the time I've invested in this world
I've come to realise
Each moment is just a piece strung together
In this story called life
I have no wisdom in my words
All I know is I've survived
Yeah, still alive.

Some would say I feel too much
Some would say, I'm too ******* myself
Mistakes I owned them
Haters I outgrow them
There's a whole lot in me
Only a few people see
A light that shines slightly through the cracks
I'm not all bad
And all this strength gathered
Has taken me to heights
Others couldn't imagine
Like a lighter, a little spark
Can ignite a torch
Revealing truths in dark corners
It's all these things
That makes me a lyrical philosopher
Through these lines I conquer

A man made up of scars
Each marks a tale
Each a reminder of lessons learned
I've been through the ringer
Still standing, And I'll still fight
Until my last breath drains all my might
No matter what the world throws my way
I'll always say...          
"Challenge accepted."
Never gave up
I still dream
I still fight my way
Through each day
No matter the odds stacked against me
I'm a raise my head accept the challenges met

Some would say I feel too much
Some would say, I'm too ******* myself
Mistakes I owned them
Haters I outgrow them
There's a whole lot in me
Only a few people see
A light that shines slightly through the cracks
I'm not all bad
And all this strength gathered
Has taken me to heights
Others couldn't imagine
Like a lighter, a little spark
Can ignite a torch
Revealing truths in dark corners
It's all these things
That makes me a lyrical philosopher
Through these lines I conquer

Nothing is going to hold me down
I'm going to dance like a warrior
All these bad habits couldn't be sorrier
All these battles I've won
Some left me scarred
But through this my skin became hard
Got a thick skin, Never cut through it
Got a good heart, shines through in my art
Belief only takes you so far
Have faith, it'll take you beyond the stars
They say wisdom can't be found in bars
In unlikely places, you can find yourself
And accept it is all you are
All that you've become
Water washes over me
Setting me free
All this dirt cleansed from me
You haven't even seen the best from me

Some would say I feel too much
Some would say, I'm too ******* myself
Mistakes I owned them
Haters I outgrow them
There's a whole lot in me
Only a few people see
A light that shines slightly through the cracks
I'm not all bad
And all this strength gathered
Has taken me to heights
Others couldn't imagine
Like a lighter, a little spark
Can ignite a torch
Revealing truths in dark corners
It's all these things
That makes me a lyrical philosopher
Through these lines I conquer.

Don't make me a role model
That I can never fulfil
All I wanna be is an Inspiration
Show people if they stick to it
They can make it
They won't fail if they fight tooth and nail
Revealing truths through poetic paragraphs
Silver linings rising, capture lightning in a bottle
Hard to contain, just striking in ways they don't expect
In life, you'll realise your blessed
If you take a deep look around
And all that surrounds us
Just shows that you can achieve
Be anything you want to be
And all I choose is to just be me
Open up your heart to see.

Some would say I feel too much
Some would say, I'm too ******* myself
Mistakes I owned them
Haters I outgrow them
There's a whole lot in me
Only a few people see
A light that shines slightly through the cracks
I'm not all bad
And all this strength gathered
Has taken me to heights
Others couldn't imagine
Like a lighter, a little spark
Can ignite a torch
Revealing truths in dark corners
It's all these things
That makes me a lyrical philosopher
Through these lines I conquer
