"Shift" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 25/4/2013

A Woman I Know ...
Keeps Talking As Though ...

The Way People Live ...
Is Going Through A ... " SHIFT " ...

SHIFTING This ... And SHIFTING That ...

Sometimes What She Says ...
Just Sounds Like ... CRAP ... !!!

But In Truth These Days ...
She May Be Talking ... FACT ... !!!

So DON'T Get TRAPPED ... Or WORSE TIE UP ... !!!
Cos' LOTS of Stuff That Currently Runs ...
Provides PROOF That Maps ...
A Way To ZION ... WITHOUT Snoop Lion ... !!!!!

That's QUITE A SHIFT He's NOW Down With ... !!!
Down With RASTA' ... So NOT Gun Clappers ... ?!?

Sometimes These Rappers Just Make Me Laugh ... !!!
From Being A THUG To ... Smoking Drugs ... !!!

They SHIFT So MUCH That It's Hard To Know ...
Who's REALLY TOUGH ... From Who's ALL SHOW ... !!!!!

There Are A FEW ... " Pros' " ...
That's Right Record Company HO's ... !!!!

But Some Are LARGE And HIT REAL HARD ... !!!
When It Comes To THOSE Tools That Producers Use ... !!!

But What About SHIFTS In How We Live ... ?
And ... What We BELIEVE ... ?!?

Adam And Eve ...
is Now ... " Adam and Steve " ... !?!

Smoking Weed ... Well NOW It Seems ...
That MORE Do This Than MOST Believe ... !!!

From THOSE Who Direct For Hollywood Screens ...
To THOSE On Set With A SHEEN Thats CLEAN ... !!!

THAT Verse Refers To TOP ACTORS ...
Who SHIFT Like Rappers When Their World ... SHATTERS ... !!!!!!

Just Look At Whitney ... Or ... Look At Britney ...

SHIFTS That MOVE Their Fanbase ... QUICKLY ...
When Things IN VIEW Prove They're Quite SICKLY ... !!!!!

So What About SHIFTS For The ... " Average Joe " ... ???

Some Enlist ... SHIFTS That LIFT ... !!!
While Others DON'T And End Up BROKE ... !!!!!

BROKE In Ways I CAN'T Explain ... ?!?
Because MY Shifts MOVE ME From ... PAIN ... !!!

Because I Enlist ... TAKING The STRAIN ... !!!

Until It LIFTS And Fades ............... Awaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy .....

See My Friend Is Speaking of DEEPER Shifts ...
Like ... SHIFTS In POWER ... !!!

SHIFTS That SHOWER And Make Some .... " cower " ...
Because TRUTH Will OUT In The End .... DON'T Doubt .... !!!!!

YUP From The Mouths ... And From The SOUNDS ...
of ALL That HOUNDS And Then SURROUNDS ... !!!

It's Happening NOW ... !!!
Political CLOWNS ... Getting FOUND OUT ...

Religious Grounds That AREN'T So Sound ... !!!!!

LYING Women ... CHEATING Men ...
Relationships Founded On PURE Pretence ... !?!
In The END ... WON'T Stand The Test ...

When It Comes To STRESS And They Have To CONFESS ...
That LOVE Was EXPRESSED ... Under DURESS ... !!!!!

It's Sad To think ...
That ALL These Shifts Come Back To THIS ...

A LACK of TRUTH And HONESTY ...
And NOT Facing ... REALITY ...

In Times Like THESE It May Be TRUE ...

There's A Shift Going On For ME And YOU ...
But Like Marvs' Song ... " What Ya Gonna Do ? " ....

Cos' These Words AREN'T Nonsense ... !!!

... " Change is Constant ! " ...

So I'll Leave You With ... THIS ...

When It Comes To ... How You LIVE ...
And How It IS ... You Think ...

If Society KEEPS Moving As IT NOW IS ...
Are You EQUIPPED To Cope With The Things That Give ...
Or ... Will You RESIST The Things That ...

.............. " Shift " .............

We are all subject to change, or, as the poem suggests, shifts in who we are and how we see ourselves, and the world, and we are definitely now in a time of all kinds of different shifts !
