Big Virge Jul 2021
Well Well Well.....
It’s CLEAR The HARDEST SELL...
  
Is Where REALITY Dwells... !!!
  
But It Does Seem...
That Media Teams...
Choose To Sell REALITY...
When It Brings TRAGEDIES... !!!
  
Whilst Selling of Souls...
DOESN'T Seem So Hard...
If You LACK Heart...
And CHOOSE To Go...
Where Corruption Flows...
  
From Dating To Playing...
Like... Michael Clayton... !!!
  
The Hard Sell’s Stationed...
In... " SAFER Locations "...
  
Than Those Now Relating...
In... United Nations...
  
UNITED... Yeah RIGHT... !?!?!
  
They’ve SOLD THAT LIE...
For A VERY LONG Time... !!!
  
So Now What Sells...
Is SEPARATIST Smells...
  
That Are Hitting HARD...
Just Like TRUMP CARDS...
And BREXIT' Hearts...
Who Weren’t So Smart... !!!!
  
When They CHOSE To Mark...
A Vote That Marked...  
A Wish To DEPART...
From The Euro Class... !!!
  
Class Is Now COLDER...
Than Those Who Bend OVER... !!!
  
To SELL With EASE...
Their ******* Type Deeds... !!!
  
Now Selling Some ****...
... ISN'T Really Hard... !!!
  
Cos’ ******* KNOW...
How To Sell Their Soul...
To Get THAT Dough... !!!
  
PROFESSIONAL **’s...
Now CLEARLY Show...
  
How Easy It Is...
To Sell Their HOLES... !!!
  
HOLES In Their SOUL... !!!
And A Whole Lot MORE... !!!
  
I KNOW... I KNOW...
  
It’s A TOUGH Old Road...
When Your Dough Runs LOW... !!!
  
But Come On Folks...
Some of You Have Sold...
Some Pretty BAD Jokes...
In Things You Now Quote... !!!
  
That PROVES That Your Mouths...
Are In NEED of SOAP... !!!!!
  
Because What’s SELLING NOW...
Is WORSE Than Foul... !!!
  
In FACT IT’s WORSE...
Than The Type Of Verse...
That’s FILLED With Words...
That Makes Some CURSE... !!!
  
Because It’s PERVERSE...
And SOLD To The Herds...
  
Who Prefer The... “ Soft Sell “...
  
In Other Words FICTION...
That SELLS The POSITION...
of NOT Having To LISTEN...
To The Type of Diction...
That Deals In... REALISM... !!!!!
  
So DEFIES Conscription...
And NEW WORLD Type Visions...
That Should NOT Be Winning... !!!
But That’s The... “ HARD SELL “... !!!
  
That Now Gets Me To Thinking...
That Things That I’ve Written...
HAVEN'T Sold THAT WELL... !!!!!
  
Because of The Mission...
That Says...“ What The Hell ? “...
  
To People Who CHOOSE...
To Follow FAKE Crews...
  
Whose Artistic Moves...
SELL OUT Just Like The FOOLS...
  
Whose Gold Is FILLED With Holes...
That Eventually Shows...
That Selling Out Goes...
With Selling What’s WEAK...
For The Dumbed Down Sheep... !!!!!
  
So It’s NOT HARD To See...
The Things That SELL WELL... !!!
  
FALLACIES That FEED GREED...
And ***** That’s Ready...
For... *******... !!!
  
These Are The Things...
That KEEP Selling Like STINGS... !!!
  
Because Where They Dwell...
Is A Place... FAR AWAY...
From Art That’s STRAIGHT... !!!
That Marketeers Quell...
Because They Can Tell...

That Humanity...
Would Rather...... "NOT SEE"......
  
Too Much REALITY...
Because It REALLY IS...
  
... “ The HARDEST Sell ! “...
Art in my opinion, is a distant thing from making money, especially if your art comes from your heart !

However, many now use it to find a way to live, but, the question is ...

What do you have to do to get the, " Easy Sale " ... ???

Some will sell you out
For a dollar
Some will sell you out
For free
Some will sell you out
For the hell of it
Cuz they hate themselves
Ya see

She said we don’t need
A month for Black History
And we don’t need channels
Like BET
Simply American
Is what we should be
Wish that were the way
That they treated me

Some will sell you out
For a dollar
Some will sell you out
For free
Some will sell you out
For the hell of it
Cuz they hate themselves
Ya see

There shouldn’t be
An N double A CP Image Awards
Because according to her
That only affords
Black people honors
While whites get ignored
Which isn’t the case
She can rest well assured

I’d like to believe
My country is for me
What the song says it is
Sweet land of liberty
But it hasn’t been
Far as I can see
Everything that
It's been cracked up to be

We’re all just Americans
I wish that were true
What about proud Italians
And the Irish too
Who have days of pride
That  she says we should eschew
Which clearly illustrates
She doesn’t have a clue

Some will sell you out
For a dollar
Some will sell you out
For free
Some will sell you out
For the hell of it
Cuz they hate themselves
Ya see
