Dear trust...
This poem is for you.

I want to apologise,
for the mess, you've turned out to be.

Loved a person, but got rejected
surrounded by friends, but always got pelted.
Threw your best-friend for money,
building a body to look like a ******.

Ask yourself, are you happy?
Or faking to become manly...

Despite that, I gave you time and space.
You have stayed in my mind.
Rent-less and relentless to come out.
Waited for this phase to end, so I can embrace...

I forgive you.
For the monster, you’ve created.
Don't worry, I have trained it.
He's calm and chained.
Under control yet free,
something you can never be...

I know superheroes with real powers are a myth.
But I think you are gifted with creating pain for the people you love.

Though you didn’t love me
But always left me,
mad, sad and depressed.
And In distress, while studying for my exams

I cursed you for a very long time.
But 𝒩𝑜𝓌 your memories burned for the
𝐿𝒶𝓈𝓉 𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒...

" So What Makes You Tick "... ???

For Some It's Simply... Being FIT...
And Living Life To RAISE Their Kids...

But Some Live Life To Hurt Their Kin... ?!?
And Follow Paths That Lead To SINS... !!!!

SEVEN... Just Like In The Film...

Sloth, Wrath, Greed and Lust,
Pride, Envy and Gluttony...

The Film Was... SICK... !!!
And Ended BADLY For Brad Pitt... !!!

But SHOWED The Things...
That Make Some TICK... !!!!!
And That's The TRICK...
of A... " GOOD FLICK "...

You May Think...

" What's The Point of This ? "

Well It's To... SHOW...
That Written Scripts...
NOW Make ME TICK... !!!

Through... Sands of Time....................

By Using Rhyme To KEEP Me From...
Those VITAL Signs That'll SIGNIFY...

My Life's... FLATLINED.

My Life's Design Is Intertwined...
With Wordplay Built To FUEL Young Minds...
Who HAVE SO MUCH To SEE In Life... !!!!!

A LOVING Wife And... HAPPY Child... !!!
Who FLOWS Through Life Just Like The Nile... !!!

NOT A Life Like... Paedophiles... !!!!!!!!!!!
Who CLEARLY Live Life... In DENIAL... !!!!

See Things Like THIS Make MANY Tick... !!!
Then They RESORT To... FURTHER Sins... !!!

I Now Compile... Poetic Files...
To Show That WORDS...
When Used With... STYLE... !!!

Can HELP You... TICK...
And FEED Our Kids With POSITIVE Things... !!!!

NOT A Life of DEADLY SINS... !!!!!
Blood SPILLING Or Young KILLING... !?!

DON'T Be LAZY USE Your Mind...
Try USING Things Within Your Sight...
To Help You Write About Mans' CRIMES...

By This I Mean Women And Men...
And Sadly Now Some YOUNG Children... !!!

Pick UP A Pen Or START To Type... !!!
Then Use Your BRAIN And Use Insight...
And Spend Some Time............................... ......

Searching DEEP Inside Your Mind... !!!
Writing FACTS... Is A Good Track... !!!

But Fiction Made From CLEVER Diction...
Can Help Your Life Tick Over NICE... !!!!!

DON'T Sell Your Words To CORPORATE Guys...
UNLESS The Price Helps You... SURVIVE... !!!

KEEP OWNERSHIP Through COPYRIGHT... !!!
So CASH KEEPS COMING When You Die...
And HELPS Your CHILDREN To LIVE LIFE... !!!

REMEMBER... THAT...
DON'T Sign Contracts To Make FAST CASH... !!!

That's For THOSE Who Like To... RAP... !!!
On BANGING Tracks That Make Folks CLAP... !!!!!

KEEP YOUR LYRICS WELL PROTECTED... !!!
DON'T RUSH IN To... NEW Collectives... !!!

UNTIL YOUR WORDS Are Somewhere SAFE...
In A Place That HOLDS... YOUR Name... !!!!!
THAT'S The Way To... PLAY The GAME... !!!

When You've DONE THIS...
Let Your Words Then...
Tick And Tock And ROCK The Spot... !!!!!

Then Let Your Money GROW Like Plots...
Through ROYALTIES That Will NEVER Stop... !!!!!!

See THAT'S One Way to Make Your Life...
One That Makes For HAPPY Days And HOLIDAYS...
And A Life Where SIN'S Then Sent...........................

On A.......... LONG Hike........................ !!!!!!

I'm Simply Saying...
If You REALLY LOVE To WRITE... !?!
And Have The SKILLS To Then RECITE...

REJECT PRIDE And STUPID Crimes... !!!
And Start To Write What's In Your Mind...

And Then ENLIST Through Use of Scripts...
A Way With WORDS of YOUR Design....
YOUR Style of Prose DOESN'T Have To Rhyme... !!!

That's Just The Way I'm Now Inclined...
USE Your Mind And You Will Find...
A Place Where You Just SEE GREEN LIGHTS... !!!!!

DRIVE Right Through... !!!
And Make STRONG MOVES... !!!

DON'T EVER QUIT... !!!!!
LIVE Life... STAY FIT...

Then REMEMBER SEVEN...
And The... DEADLY SINS... !!!!!

Then ASK Yourself.....

... " What Makes You TICK ? "...

It robs us of our dignity
pilfers our humanity
and steals us away to
make love with greed
nothing is spared on its warpath
there is no consideration for the collateral
because the promise of something that will serve
the continuation of corruption
matters more than the lives it will crush

Ya Know ...

We CAN'T ALL BE ...
... Artistically Free ... !!!

It’s A FALLACY To Truly Believe ...
That Artistry Truly Deals In FREE Speech ...

It’s Just A Different Form ...
of ...... SLAVERY ...... !!!

When Some Are FORCED ... !!!
To HOLD BACK ... Talk ... !!!

To Now Be... P.C.
Cos’ of Communities Like The LGBT ...

I Mean ... SERIOUSLY ... !?!
How Can Art Be ... FREE ... ?!?
When Artists CAN'T Speak ...
About How They Feel ... !?!

So What’s The Deal ... ?
Who’s ... REALLY Being REAL ... ???

Because We’re Facing Times ...
Where Arts Design Is Being Refined ...
To Play The Game In RESTRICTED Ways ... !!!

It’s Nothing New ...
To See How Groups ...
And ... Soloists Too ... !!!

Are The Ones Pushed Through ...
Because Their TRUTH ...
Is .................... "Hidden From View" ... !!!!!

To APPEASE Their ...
... Management Companies ... !!!

So Are Made To Write ...
Lyrics That ... " Fit " ...
In With The Trends ...
That DON'T Cause Offence ...
To These ... MONEY Men ...
And Their Groups of RICH Friends ... !!!

So ... " We CAN’T All Be " ...

FREE To ... EXPRESS ...
What We WANT To Express ...

Because of CONTROLS ...
That ... Go To SHOW ...

That The Game ...
... AIN'T FAIR ... !!!!!

When WAR's Declared ... ?!?

On Expression Not Lessened ...
Because of The Pressures ...
Applied By ... "Agendas" ...
And ... Corporate Fellas ... !!!

Whose Teams Have The Means ...
To CONTROL ... Artistry ... !!!!!!

You See Things Are NOT Really ...
... As They Seem To Be ... !!!

It’s ... FALSIFIED Dreams ...
That They're Feeding To Teens ...
And .... Adults TOO .... !!!!!

So TRUST When I Say ... !!!
That For MOST To Get Though ...

They Have To Be SHREWD ...
With The Views That They Choose ...
To ... Express On Tunes ... !!!

Cos’ Now Reggae Crews ...
Are AGAIN In The News ...
For Being ... REFUSED ... !!!

The Right To Perform ...
On ... Foreign Shores ...
By Those Whose Cause ...
Is To ... LOCK DOWN Jaws ... !!!

UNLESS ... Of Course ...
They’re QUICK To Conform ...
And NOT Kick Up Storms ... !!!

In The Things They Perform ... !!!!!
Which Is Now ... " The New Norm " ...

Or ... IS IT ... ???

... INDEPENDENT Art ...
RARELY Reaches Charts ...
Because of RESTRICTIONS ...
And Positions CONDITIONED ...

That Have ... PROVEN To Me ...
That When It Comes To Artistic Teams ...
And Having ... SUCCESS ...
With The Things You Express ...

From ...
Singing To Rapping ...
To Doing ... Poetry ...

When It Comes To The DREAM ...
of Being .... Artistically FREE ....

It Really Is Something  .....

That .....

.... “ We Can’t All Be “ .... !!!!!!

wine n dine
they say
faux sophistication
how pretty

oh culture, they say
but there's a price to pay
for the theatre show
endorse inclusion yet divide into rows

the stage is free
art they say
entertain me in exchange for pay

******* culture
deeper entrenched
day by day

isn't it peculiar?
we are politically correct
yet flawed in every way
shhhhh, that's not what you are supposed to say
