“Heavy Weighs The Toll” ... A Poem written by Big Virge  19/11/2020

Folks It Ain’t NO JOKE ... !!!
 
HEAVY Weighs The Toll ...
On ... Broken Souls ... !!!
 
And There Are MORE of Those ...
Than Most People Know ... !!!
 
Or ... Choose To Believe ...
Because People Like These ...
... DON'T Always Show ...
How Their Issues Control ...
How It Is That They Roll ... !!!
 
And How The Thoughts That They Hold ...
Are Where Depression Exists ...
And Affects How They Think ...
 
It’s A VERY DEEP THING ...
That Does MORE Than STING ... !!!

 
When Thoughts That They Collect ...
Are ... FILLED With STRESS ... !!!
 
Just Look At The Deaths ...
of ... Soldiers And Vets ...
Who Return From War ...
With NIGHTMARISH Thoughts ... !!!
 
About What They’ve DONE ...
And What They’ve SEEN ... !!!
 
That Has Left Them Numb ...
And Unable To Sleep ... !!!
 
The Toll Weighs HEAVY ...
On Minds ... Unsteady ... !!!
 
Like Those Who’ve Used ...
... ABUSIVE Moves ...
 
Because They CAN'T Control ...
Themselves In ZONES ...
Where ... Children Go ... !!!
 
Child Abusers Know ...
About HEAVY TOLLS ... !!!

 
As Do Those Who Administer ...
That’s Right I Mean Ministers ...
Congressmen, Presidents And PM’s ... !!!

 
Just Look At How They Age ...
When They‘ve Made ...  
... POWER GAINS ... !!!!!!!
 
And Put Themselves In Roles ...
That Are QUICK To FORGO ...
 
... MORALITY Codes ...
To Let PAPER CONTROL ...
How It Is That They Mould ...
And Place People In HOLES ...
 
That Are DARKER Than BLACK ...
So Use Guns To Attack ...
The Lives of HUMANS ... ?!?
 
And Those Words Are FACT ...
That I WILL NOT Retract ... !!!!!!!!

 
The Tolls IMPOSED On Human Souls ...
Are ... ALL OVER The Globe ... !!!
 
Like ... Corona’s Rise ...
That’s Made Prices HIGH ... !!!
 
And Made Rates of Suicide ...
Be What’s Taking Lives ...
Because of Tolls On Minds ...
Due To Virus Vibes That Now Deny ...
 
The Freedom To See ...
... Our Own Families ... !!!!!
 
A Toll That’s EXPOSED ...
That Freedoms Can Now ...
Be QUICKLY LOCKED DOWN ...  
 
Due To ... LOCK DOWNS ... !!!
 
So DON'T You Doubt ...
That Dollars And Pounds ...
Create Tolls And CONTROLS ...
 
Like Track And Trace ...
Through New Tech Waves ...
Like Tolls That Have Paved ...
...... CORONA's WAVE ...... !!!!!!!!!
 
To A ... SECOND ONE ...
When The First HASN'T Run ...
To It’s ... FINISH Line ... !!!

 
It’s A Toll That’s CONFINED ...
MORE Than Peoples Minds ... !!!
 
It’s Now ... RESIGNED ...
Many Into DECLINE ...
Because of Loneliness ...
And HIGH Levels of STRESS ... !!!
 
Due To Being JOBLESS ...
When They Have To Pay Rent ...
And Loan ... Repayments ...
On ... Mortgage Loans ...
Just To Keep Their Homes ... !!!
 
We’re ALL Paying Tolls ...
For Letting Money Control ...
How Our Lives Now Go ... !!!!!!

 
So Now That Things Are UNSTEADY ...
People BETTER Get READY ...
For CONTROLS That’ll BREAK ...
Like Those New Orleans Levees ... !!!!!!!!!
 
And As Most Folks Know ...
When It Comes To Life’s Woes ...
Where DARKNESS Grows ...
That Leave People BROKE ...
 
As Things Start To UNFOLD ...
