"Those Years" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 13/5/2013
These Days It's CLEAR ... !!!
I've Now Passed ... " Those Years " ... !!!
Where ... RUNNING My Mouth ...
To PROVE WITHOUT Doubt That My Thoughts Are SOUND ...
Is NO LONGER A Need That Lives Within Me ... !!!
AGREE To DISAGREE Is Now The Theme ...
With Which I ROLL When The Youth Get BOLD ...
And Wanna TELL ME How Things Now Go ...
....... I KNOW What I KNOW ....... !!!
As I'm SURE They Do ...
But There's Something In The Youth That's NOW ON SHOW ...
A DISRESPECT For FACTS That Come From OLDER Mans' ...
YUP ... Mans' Like Me Who Deal In FACTUAL SPEECH ... !!!
NOT Conspiracies ... That Are Now On TV's ... !!!!
I CONSPIRE To REVEAL The Things Youngsters NOW SEE ...
That Simply ARE NOT REAL And ARE FILLED With FALLACIES ... !!!
Like ... DODGY Referees ...
And Stars Whose SHINE Concedes .......
To Personal DEFEATS That Leads Me To Believe ...
DEEP DOWN That ... They Are WEAK ... !!!!!!
SO MANY New Age CLOWNS ... !!!
Who've Signed These CRAZY DEALS ... !!!!!
Marketing ... Promotion ...
So YES Living ... " The DREAM " ... !!!
Causing A COMMOTION Because The Dream ... "Conceals" ...
A Lack of TRUE DEVOTION To What Most Want To See ... !!!
HIGH Quality ... NOT Sporting CHEATS ... !!!!!
Or MIMING Teens Whose Sheen Is CLEAN ...
Until We See Them ... BROKEN Down ... !!!!!
WITHOUT Being Drowned By The HYPE That SURROUNDS ...
"They're the greatest thing to come along,
since Jesus Christ, The son of GOD !"
"The son of who, he's just a fool !
Check Bieber son, he is that dude !"
"Okay, can I ask, how old are you ?"
"I'm Twenty Two, what does that prove ?"
"It proves that you have a limited view !
Don't get it confused, I have one too,
but mine has seen a bit more, nah' mean !
Respect for old heads, now seems to be dead, and I ain't that old !"
"Who told you so, you're grey and choose to not make moves,
your thinking's off, I think your mind's gone soft !"
"You're probably right, what could I have learnt
from seeing the times, when you had to earn,
your time to shine, and rep' that hype !"
YEAH ... " Rep' That Hype ! " ...
NOT Just Get Signed And Then SUDDENLY BE ...
" THE MAN " ... Like MIKE ... !!!!!
Or Like ... " ALI " ...
" THE GREATEST of ALL TIMES ! "
OPINIONS In The Young I DO WELCOME ...
But ONLY When RESPECT Is What Young Heads Then COME WITH Next ... !!!
The Sad Thing Is It's NOT JUST Kids NOW FLIPPING The Script ...
A LOT of OLDER Heads Now Be Running Talk That's FOUL ... !!!
Since When Did EVERYBODY Have Knowledge That Was GODLY ... !?!?!
These Days MOST Peoples' Arguments Are CLEARLY Rather SHODDY .... !!!!!
To Me These Days It's CLEAR These Whipper Snappers FEAR ...
Arguments of Reason That PROVE Their Thoughts AREN'T Seasoned ... !!!
So When They're Brought ... It's TREASON .... !!!!!!
And Then COME OUT Their DEMONS ... !!!
DEFIANCE PRIDE And Then DENIAL ...
Passive AGGRESSION They KEEP Defending ...
UNTIL ... Common Sense Lessons ...
Leave Their Demons ... SUITABLY Weakened ... !!!
We've ALL Been There When Youth ... "ENSNARES" ...
Our Ability To HEAR The Things Most of Us FEAR ... !!!!!!!!!!
Because When Most Are ... " YOUNG " ...
It's CLEAR That WISDOM Comes ...
BEYOND ............................................................

Respect, is earned and not a given !
Anyone demanding respect, gets nothing from me, and age doesn’t always mean wiser when there are so many grown arse folk that harness their so called maturity to abuse their trust whilst commanding respect and/ or compliance.
I’ve met wiser 29 year olds than a person who’s aged 49... each to their own, I suppose ! 😎

I'm 49, so, i'm presuming your comment was aimed directly at me ?
That's fine, i'm not that wise, I just write a few lines.
One things fa sure though, however wise your 29 year old friends are, one thing they can't have, is 49 years experience.
Indeed, each to their own, you can have all the wise 29 years olds you want, i'll stick to learning from those who've seen and know more than me.
Thanks for commenting.
The old dumbo ... !!!

Like I said, age & experience doesn’t necessarily make one wise.
Life, is experiential.
And sadly, it makes many bitter & twisted, and extremely well versed in the art of manipulation !
Those, are not traits to be harnessing others to mentor... 🙄

And yet, you don't seem to recognise that this is what the piece speaks on ....
As the piece states quite CLEARLY, old and young now, seem to think that they are filled with wisdom and knowledge, there is no defined statement that suggests that old people are the only wise ones, in fact, I make it quite clear that a lot of older heads now chat nonsense.
You clearly read things to suit your position, thus my wish to agree to disagree, with much of your commentary.
Thanks again for, well, whatever it is you think your doing, ?
Mentoring is the last thing my verse is meant to offer, I merely offer my personal point of view, take it or leave it.
