"One Of Those Days" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 22/8/2013

Yesterday Was A Day ...  
When Things Went SMOOTH ... !!!
 
Made Some Early Moves ...
Cos' I Had Bills To Pay ...
 
First Off Hit The Bank ....
NO ... NOT like That ... !!!!
Had To Get Some Cheques ...  
And Then I Have To Say ...
 
One of The Management ...
Approached And Then Said ...
 
"Sir please walk this way,
what is it you're needing,
from our branch today ?"
 
He Took Me To His Office ...
WITHOUT Judgement NONSENSE ... !!!
 
We Chatted For A Bit ...
About Bajan' Living ...
 
Then He Set Me Up ...
In A Way That Was RIGHT ... !!!
 
Moved On Paid My Debts ...
Before DISCONNECT Threats ...
Were The Next To Be Sent ... !!!!!
 
Next Thing My Man Called ...
And Said In His ... TALK ...
 
That He Needed A Favour ...
He Wanted Some Food ...
That Had ... ITAL Flavour ... !!!
 
I Said ....  
 
"Okay cool,
I'll meet you in a few !"
 
So ... Off Into town ...
No Time To Wear Frowns ... !!!
 
He Made A Quick Stop ...
In A Bar And Strip Spot ...
And Then We Moved On ...
And Hit My Mans' Block ...
 
We Parked Up And CHILLED ...  
... Pon' Top of The Hill ...
And Then Had Some Food ...
To ... HEIGHTEN Our Mood ...
 
We Then Sat With Men ...
And Let Talk Begin ....
 
Music Was Playing ...
That Had Men Relaying ...
Their Views About Artists ...
And Gangsta Type HARDNESS ... !!!
 
We Talked About ...  
..... " SCARFACE " .....
And Snorting Cocaine ... !!!
 
And How ... In His Case ...
What He Did Was INSANE ... !?!
 
The Next Thing You Know ...
Dominoes Started Playing ...
 
See This Is Some Prose ...
To Show it's NOT GHETTOS ... !!!
 
Just ... Different Zones ...
Where People Make Homes ...  
And Keep Their Friends CLOSE ... !!!!!
 
NO  ... FANCY Stilettos ...  
Or BLING Was On SHOW ... !!!
 
Just Cool Vibes And GOOD TIMES ... !!!!
While Young Children ROAMED ..............
 
Rhydems' Dem' Runnin'...
While Men Started CUSSIN' ... !!!
 
As Dominoes SLAMMED ...  
And ... BIG TALK Began ... !!!!!!
 
Lyrical JOKERS ...
Who Mostly Were Smokers ...
Wid' Lyrics That Hit ...
Like ... COMEDIC Scripts ... !!!
 
A Dog Got A Lik' ...
of Food And Went IN ... !!!!!
 
Then Women Passed Through ...
And Played Dominoes Too ... !!!!!!!!
 
The Mood Was Just COOL ... !!!
As I Became SCHOOLED ...
In ... Simple Block Living ...
That Is NOT FORGIVING ... !!!!!
 
But TRUST In This Verse ...
These People ... To Me ...
Were Cool And Happy ... !!!
 
WITHOUT LOADS of Money ...
And ... Homes By The Sea ... !!!
 
These People Are WEALTHY ...
In ... DIFFERENT Ways ... !!!!
 
Their Children Are HEALTHY ...
And Find Ways To PLAY ...
WITHOUT ... Iron Gates ...  
Up In Some FANCY Place ... !!!!
 
As Day Turned To Dusk ...
And Moonlight Came Up ...
The Vision Was Something ...
My Words CAN'T Speak of ... !!!!!
 
It Just Felt Like NOTHING ...
Could Leave Any BLOTS ...
On Chillin' With People ...  
On My Brothers' Block ... !!!
 
But Next Thing You Know ...
We Hear ...
 
... " Look A Ting' ! " ...
 
One of The Children ...
Had Quickly EXPOSED ...
 
That A ... BIG CENTIPEDE ...
Was RIGHT BY Some Toes ... !!!!!
Now As Most Bajans' KNOW ...
 
That Means MOVE YOUR FEET ...
And Move QUICKLY YO ... !!!!
Cos' A Bite Is NOT NICE ... !!!
And Can STING For SOME TIME ... !!!!!  
 
It Quickly Got KILLED ... !!!
And Then We All CHILLED ...
And Then I ... Hit The Road ...
As More Dominoes Flowed ...
 
I Got Home And Filled ...
My Eyes With A Film ...
 
Star Trek Into Darkness ...
But NOTHING Was Heartless ...
Within ... Yesterday ... !!!!!
 
Today is A New One ...
But These Words I MUST SAY ... !!!
 
People ... NEED To STOP ... !!!!!
All This LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT ... !!!
 
Because People With LESS ...  
SURVIVE On These Blocks ... !!!
 
WITHOUT ALL The Blessings ...
of Cash And NICE Settings ... !!!
 
But THEY Are OKAY ... !!!!!
And YES Have Some Ways ...
That Seem OUT OF PLACE ...
If Where YOU WERE Raised ...
Was Kept ................... WELL AWAY ... !!!!!
 
From Hustles And Struggles ...
That ... MANY Have Faced ... !!!
And STILL DO ... TODAY ... !!!
 
So You RICH FOLK Should Know ...
That These People AREN'T LOW ... !!!!!
 
And just Might Show MORE GRACE ...
If YOUR GREED Was ... DISPLACED ...
 
And Just Like ... " Ackroyd " ...
Your TRADES Like Your Place ...  
Were TRADED ... OKAY ... !!!!!!
 
What I Saw Was PEACE ...
And LOVE On DISPLAY ... !!!
 
And That Made Me HAPPY ... !!!!!!
Because It Feels GREAT ...
For Me To ... Now State ...
 
That ... BEFORE I've Aged ...
... And Faded AWAY ...
 
For A CHANGE I CAN Say ...
It TRULY Was COOL To Have ....
