As you can see now
We've lost two men to Father Time
They were your friends
As they were mine

They both were outlaws
and they lived life their own way
If we had our choice
They'd still be here today
But, I am not the one
Who took them both away
That's all I've got to say

They were our brothers
And they stood here dressed in black
Close your eyes and they are back
They're in the ether
Waiting there for their return
They'll tell us what they saw
And then we will all learn
That life's a circle
And death is no concern
When they do return....

We are all highwaymen
And we all travel different roads
We all bear witness
Carry loads
We will all pass this way
More than once I'm sure
There will be other times
When we meet at death's door
But as for now, I say
No more than evermore
For we will meet again....

Once there were four of us
And the world was our domain
We've gone away
Come back again
We sailed the seven seas
And rode the highway roads
We flew on starships
And we followed our own code
We met the horsemen
And our souls we did unload
And we'll be back again...
in memory of johnny cash and waylon jennings
Material objects tempt you
To leave your mildewy rags in the rearview
I know who can help you, he'll be here soon
Meaning he's arriving you just gotta sign this
Contractually obligating your silence
It's not science
Even a blind ***** would find this
Excitin'
See he's taken an interest in ya thighs
and how ya roll ya eyes like you know it all
But trust me when the dough's involved no ya don't

Your just tossing out them bills
Throwing em out like it gives you a thrill
Gives me chills, when the heats shut off
Coughing and coughing, I'm getting sick
Waiting on that ****, lickity split
Pass it around, I'm losing it
This ******* piling higher, I'm getting higher
Jumping out the window like that **** on fire
Waiting on a refund for all the time spent
No dimes or dollars even make a dent
Remorseful, with a side of content

Wait up ***** aint they raisin your rent
You need a sugar daddy not a diabetic
Let him take away your woes with a couple franklins
Getcha takin off clothes at his banks expense
Sayin that you bad, need a spankin then
And since you want attention this is what you get
Hard **** and love are two different things
but watch me blur the lines like the drink you sip
I've never been good with relationships  
And I lie tryna hide I'm fake as ****
But come to the bedroom
Got money and head room just so we dont drown when the blankets wet
Afterwards you smoke get your makeup fixed
Ask about bank while I take a ****
Throw you twenty to make complaining quit
Do i smell like money, honey?
Take a whiff

I smell something, it aint no money
You wanna play?
Imma need more than some stacks
and some grass to want yo ***
This aint no game of tic tac toe
Three in a row aint gonna beat my woes
You're reaping what you sow
Can't just throw out them bills no mo
It's rich, but you're not
You thought you had what you bought
But I walked, watch your wallet
Cause it can't cash your *******
This aint a relationship
Save it, I aint falling for ****
You aint having it your way
But I'm lovin it
Melody Claire May 2015
In the isolation of your car gliding on the freeway
and a dark sky,
I sat shotgun wearing the least clothing possible
and got goose bumps from
cool leather against my skin.
But nothing scraped my bones as much as your kiss on my lips.
Exhilaration pumped through our veins.
We drove to Mexico
to be caught in a Rain storm
We spent stacks of cash  
And kept each other warm.
svdgrl May 2015
The bills were balled in their pockets,
crumpled tickets.
They talked of golden promise,
like it were glass-
you could see right through them,
easily broken.
Distorted vision buys only sadness.
Spending money is becoming a problem.
RH 78 May 2015
The glint of a gold coin discarded and under a hedge.
The unmistakeable ***** and ****** of the shrapnel congregating at the bottom of my pocket.
I can find any combination of currency in a lovely jingle jangle of metallic discs.
The cashier slips me a note and some change on top which spills onto the counter.
A 10 pence piece tries an audacious spinning escape morphing into a ball.
The change rattles again as it all settles at the bottom of my pocket after dropping in the new recruits.
I slide the discoloured crinkled creased five pound note into my leather wallet nicely nestling next to a ten pound note.
I love the  smell of ***** money!
svdgrl Jan 2015
It's 3:43 AM.
I can't close my eyes.
My hearts beating too loud.
My stomach is twisting.
I don't want to be anyone's trouble.
Will I ever be something?
Could I be your honey?
Even though, I have no money?
I need to work.
I'll buy lotto tickets.
Do I have to strip? Or do ****?
What does it take?
My first payment is two-hundred and thirty-six dollars
twenty-three cents.
It increases after two years.
I don't have a job yet-
I graduate this May- if I don't die.
If I don't die, I will have to pay
this November.
Our anniversary is in November.
Better find a government job.
Make that cash!
I don't want a sugar daddy with a white mustache.
She said, "Everyone has loans."
Yeah, but I'm no one.
What does it take to get paid
loads
loads
loads
of cash?
I didn't care for money.
Capitalism grants me
no choice but to
Wonder what it's like at the bottom of the ocean?
No structure- it's dark.
I'll become fish food,
in some rich man's aquarium.

Poem written by Big Virge 21/01/2014
Wow ... !!!

People ... REALLY ... Act Funny ... !
when it comes to getting ... " Money " ... !!!

I've seen it from ... My Fam' ... !!!

My Father tried to ... Scam ... !!!
when it came to land he'd ... HAD ... !!!
that he thought that he could ... GRAB ... !!!

His case was ... " Such A Farce " ... !!!
that when my mother ... passed ...

He DIDN'T EVEN ... go to court ... ?

Which proved he was ... " A Fraud " ...
and that his case was ... " Flawed " ...

His case was just ... " DISMISSED " ... !!!
by the time the judge ... " heard it " ... !!!!!

Talking of ... FRAUD ...
These men on ... " Boards " ...

Seem to use ... ?
Cash to ... ABUSE ... !?!
Those who ... FUND ...
The Frauds they ... run ... !!!!!

" Some " ...
end up ... STUNNED ... !!!!!
when ... " Investments " ...

Get used by guys ...
with ... " Corporate Ties " ...
to buy ... NICE RIDES ...
and ... " Bling for wives " ... !!!!!!!

Now ...
Here's ... The Thing ...

NUFF .... Young women .... !!!
are now ... " Diggin' " ...
for men ... WILLING ...
to give ... EVERYTHING ... !!!!!!!

Just to get ...
Themselves some ... " *** " ... !!!

PROSTITUTION ... Yes ... !!!
to spread ... their legs ... !!!
and for .... THAT RING ....
and a .... BIG WEDDING .... !!!!!

But ...
There's ... THE STING ... !!!

Now it's .... HALF .... !!!
when things go bad ... !!!

They make me laugh ...
These ... STUPID MAN ... !!!

Who are quick to get ...
Down on ... " One Knee " ...
To ... " Marry Them " ...
and give ... MONEY ...
to these ... " Cash Hungry " ... !!!

.... " MONEY HONEYS " ....

Who are ...
CLEARLY ... " HUNGRY " ... !!!
and Sting like ... Bees ...
when what they see ...
are ... " Masculine Dummies " ... !!!!!

Now being ... MASCULINE ...
is ... NOT THE DRAW ...

It's the sound ... " Ch-Ching " ...
that ... " Draws " ... These ****** ... !!!!

MONEY ... Fa' sure ... !!!
goes beyond ... DIVORCE ... !!!!!

It ... goes to ... WAR ...
KILLING ... Masses and Hordes ... !!!!!!  
while governments ... " Score " ...
Cash funds and .. " Hoard " ...

" WEALTH " ... like on ...
" Monopoly Boards " ... !!!!!

" Landing " ... Here ...
and ... " Landing " ... There ...

" Buying Man " ...
in ... Foreign Lands ... !!!
to ... " Adhere " ... to plans ...
that are ... More About cash ... !!!
than ... fighting for ...
" The Poor " ... who ENDURE ...
These .... " Bogus Wars " .... !!!!!!

Warlords ... ENFORCE ... !!!

Enforcement ... COSTS ...
but who gets ...... lost ........................ ?
when the .... " Big Boss " ....
starts to .... " Drop Bombs " .... !?!

The type that ... LOSE ...
People like ... " Bruce " ... !!!

Dead and ... "buried" ...
when what drops ... HEAVY ...
are fears that ... " Cash " ...

CAN'T BUY ... like that ... !!!!!

Ya see ...
Money can buy ...
A ... Great Deal in life ... !!!

It can buy you ... " A Home " ...
EVEN ... buy you ... " A Wife " ...

But .....
when it comes to ...
" Pain and Strife " ...

Don't be ... Fooled ... !!!
They DON'T ... have a price ... !!!

DEFINED ... by cash ... !!!
but can change your life ...
like stocks that ... CRASH ... !!!!!!!!!!

Now that's ... a vibe ...
where ... Monetary Ties ...
with ... " Corporate Guys " ...
can make you .... RICH .... ?!? ....
or ... Poor ... REAL QUICK ... !!!!!!!!!!

Take Time ... and ... THINK ... !!!

Does how you live ... ?
make cash the thing ...
that's ... MORE IMPORTANT ...
than ... " Your Kids " ... ?!?!?!? ...

Or .... YOUR HEALTH .... !!!?!!!

If so ... Then ... SELL ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your ... Body and Mind ...
" TRADE " ... if you like ...

But ... RECOGNISE ...
The type of crime ...
that ... Many Find ...
is now the type ...
that's ... DAMAGING ... !!!
our human kind ...

Where ....
" Gully " ... type heads ...
Feed ... " Skullys' " ... with death ... !!!

Over ... " Pounds and Pence " ...
Or .... " Dollars and Cents " ....

Which ....
Doesn't make sense ... ???

Did you ingest what you read ... ?
It ... DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ... !!!?!!!

Like ... MONEY over ...
Getting CLOSER ...
to more peeps' ... HUMANITY ... !!!!

Take in ... " The Scene " ...

NO CASH ... in view ...
just ... " Bartering Tools " ...
like ... " NATURAL FOOD " ... !!!
from ... Grown Produce ...

Now ....
Every man ...
Cannot ... farm land ... !!!

Other skills ...
would now ... Pay Bills ...

Mine would be with ...
... " Ink and Quill " ...

" Poetry " ...
that would ... INSTILL ...

A ... Value System ...
with ... " A Vision " ...

One WITHOUT ...
Cash as ... THE PRIZE ... !!!

DON'T ... You Doubt ...
Money ... would die ... !!!
and here is .... WHY .... !!!

because people act ... FUNNY ... !!!
and things can turn ..... UGLY ...... !!!!

when it comes to pursuing ...

This Thing ...

We call ... " Money " ...
The root of what .... You choose, but, choose WISELY !!!

Anything for a dollar.
Anything for a dime.
If you need to live,
nothings a waste of time.
What a shame,
the bible says so,
and so it is true,
money as a life sentence;
work is required,
or you're a body with no value.
StuKerr Jun 2014
Johnny Cash is great
I shot a man in Reno
Cant beat that **** right?
