It's Said That …

"Old McDonald Had A Farm " …

But What About The Farm … ?
Where Words Are … " Farmed " … ?
Through Songs That Charm ….
And Visuals That Chart …

Beauty And Harm … !!!
Do You Know The Farm I'm Talking About … ?
Well When This Poem's Ended There WON'T Be ANY DOUBT …
of The Farm I Now ... Place Words Around … !!!!!

It's One That Expounds And Sounds Folks Out …
About MUCH MORE Than Grand Applause And Big Awards ...

THIS FARM ENDURES SO MUCH That's POOR … !!!!!
That Certain Doors ... DON'T Open For … !!!

Livestock That ROARS … !!!!!
With A Cause That IMPLORES ...
A NEED For MORE ... Produce That's PURE … !!!!!

WITHOUT Sects Inside Who Plot To Hide …
The Unnatural Vibes Their Food Provides … !!!

Just Like …. Common Sense Verse ….
Ya Know … " I Used To Love Her " … !!!

But As Time Has Passed ................…
I've Seen MUCH That HARMS The Heart of The Farm … !!!!!

Like DESTRUCTIVE Arms That Move TOO FAST … !!!
Rather Than Take Time To Farm With Pride …

NOT THE PRIDE Now Seen That's Become UNCLEAN ... !!!!!

But The Type That Breeds And FEEDS QUALITY … !!!!!
Through Seeds That grOW And Create Flows …
Where Nature Shows Through Use of …. " HOES " ….

That Digging Deep ...
Can Feed The Sheep With Grass That's GREEN … !!!!!

Cos' It's FILLED WITH Themes ...
of …. NURTURING Scenes …. !!!

Where NUTRITION GLOWS And Becomes FULL BLOWN …
When What's On SHOW ... ENERGISES Bones … !!!!!!

And EDIFIES Minds Because What's Inside …
REJECTS Pesticides And Steroids TOO … !!!!!

Such Things REFUSED And NOT Induced … !!!
To Persuade Our Youth To Consume What's GROOMED … !!!

As Being ……… " GOOD FOOD " …. ?!?
Cos' It AIN'T THAT GOOD And Robs Like Hoods … !!!!!

That Ring The Alarms Like Those Who Bear Arms … !!!
As If Their Farm ... REQUIRES ****** ... !?!?!

These Days I Sit With Farmers …
Who STILL Feed Off GOOD Karma ...
Cos' I NEVER Liked Snake Charmers … !!!!!

So Choose To REJECT Partners …
Who'd Rather Bring The DRAMA … !!!!!
When They Should Just Be CALMER ...

Than All These Young … " Osamas' " …
Or Maybe They're ... " Obamas' " … ?!?!?

These Days It's Getting HARDER ...
To Trust In FARMS Where Charters ...
Had Slaves Like ... " Founding Fathers " … !!!!!
  
The Farm Today STILL Employs Slaves … !!!
Who Pave Their Way In Todays' … " New Age " …
By Making Waves Through ****** Displays … !!!!!

My Pen And Page FARM Like … " A Sage " …
Profound and Wise Like The Words I Write …

I NO Longer Get Vex When The Farm Invests …
In Food That Tends To Cause PROBLEMS ... !!!
Like Chickens With Heads That **** Like Feds' … !!!!!

***** And ***** Like Rainfall In Squalls … !!!
Because Their Downfall Will Be Slit Necks ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

When It's Time To CULL ...
And Have Them … ANNULLED ... !!!!!

In What Could Be Said ... ???
To Be … Their Last CHEQUE ... !!!!!
  
NO Chip and Pin When I'm FARMING … !!!
Cos It's A NATURAL Ting' That My Produce Brings … !!!!!

But The Farm RESISTS ... Lyrics Like THIS … !!?!!
Because I Guess Through My Poems …

I Tell Corporate Men ...
To Come CORRECT Before I Get UPSET … !!!
And Go For The TOOLS BAD Farmers USE …. !!!

So DON'T Get It Confused … ?!?
I See The Coup ... But Join Their Crew … ???

Unlikely ... TRUE ... !!!!!

But … NEVER SAY NEVER … !!!
Cos' My Farm ENDEAVOURS To Feed Me BETTER … !!!

So May One Day Dwell ...
Where I've Been Paid Well To Quell Myself …......................

Like Horses In Stables Til' My Farm Sells Fables …
And A Price Is Tabled So I Produce What They Want ….

WAIT A MINUTE NOW … STOP !

Something Seems A Bit WRONG ...
Cos' What I Farm Is STRONG … !!!!!
And May NOT Belong Where THEY Come From … !!?!!

Time Will Tell If I'll Ever Sell …
My Produce CHEAP To Make Ends Meet ... ?!?

My Poetry ... Is Part of Me … !!!
And REFLECTS Through Verse …

The Heart of … " Big Virge " … !!!

So Now My Path Has Brought Me To ART … !!!
And The Very Start of This Piece That Charts …
Towards The Question That I Once Again Ask … ???

I Asked At The Beginning …
What Farm Produces Lyrics … ?!?
Instead of Wool For SPINNING … ???

I Hope You Now Are Thinking …......................…

About The Path of …. ARTS ….
Now Topping DIFFERENT Charts … !!!
Because From My LONG Arms .............................
These Words Have Left Their Mark …

And Produced Something … " HARD " … !!!!!
From ... DEEP Within My Heart …

MY PASSION To Impart ...
My Thoughts About The Arts … !!!!!

That Constitute ……
What In MY View …

Are Part of … YES …  

…. " The Farm " ….
A slightly different look at farming, and thus, The Farm !
