“When Your Chip Stack Is Down” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 7/7/2021

When Your Chip Stack is Down ...
On Whom Can You Count ...
To Do Right By You ... ???

When It Comes To Food ...
And Giving You Proof ...
That You Do Matter Too ... ?!?

Instead of Run Chatter ...
That Proves Their Talk’s Loose ...

When Things Start To Get TOUGH ...
Who Will REALLY STEP UP ...
And Get Past Arguments ... !?!

Instead of Behave ...
Like A Selfish Ingrate ...
Who Will NOT Share A Plate ...
To Make Sure You’re Okay ...

Because Heads Will Make Claims ...
About What They Will Do ...
When Everything’s COOL ...

But When BIG Pressures Lick ...
Their Lips Become Zipped ...
And Their Actions EXPOSE ...
How Much Love That They Hold ...
When Their Comfort Zones Blown ...

It’s A SAD Thing To See ...
But It’s ... REALITY ... !!!


From These BIG Companies ...
That Are Full of NICE SPEAK ...
When They WANT YOUR MONEY ...

But Are Quick To Retreat ...
When Their Customers Need ...
To Receive Help ... QUICKLY ... !!!

You’ll SUDDENLY See ...
A LACK of ... URGENCY ... !!!


From Power To Water ...
We’re Just Lambs To Be Slaughtered ... !!!
For Corporate Hoarders ...
And Figurehead Leaders ...
Who Are Just Pretty Speakers ... !!!

Until It Is Time ...
For THEM To Provide ...
Some Proof That Their Talk ...
Is ... MORE Than Just Talk ... !!!

And That THEY’LL SACRIFICE ...
To Save Poor Peoples’ Lives ...

BEFORE Lining Their Pockets ...
To Avoid Seeing Problems ...
Like Being ... Insolvent ... !!!

From Leaders To Bosses ...
Their Talk’s Mostly Nonsense ...
When It Comes To Losses ...
And Prices NOT Dropping ... !!!

And As For Your ... “ Friends “ ...
Well You’ll Soon Get To See ...
Who Your Friends TRULY BE ...
When They Have Family ...
Who They Need To Protect ... !!!

Will You Be Brothers Then ... ?!?
Or ... Sisters And Queens ...

Or Will You Just Be ...
An UNWANTED Problem ... !?!

So You Need To Be Wise ...
With Whom You Align ...
Because You May Find ...
That Their Talk Is Designed ...
To Make You Feel Like ...

They’ll Treat You The Same ...
As Those Bearing Their Name ...

Until They’ve EARNED Your Trust ...
You Should NOT Expect Much ...
From Anyone Talking ...
As If YOU’RE IMPORTANT ...
To How THEIR LIFE Runs ... !!!

People Will Make CLAIMS ...
Pretty Much ... EVERYDAY ... !?!

To CONVINCE THEMSELVES ...
That They’ll Be Quick To Help ...
And Sometimes They Do ...
Which REALLY Is COOL ... !!!

But DON’T You Be Fooled ... !!!

From People Who Lead ...
To Your OWN Family ...

Promises Made ...
Are NOT Promises KEPT ... !!!

And DON’T EVER FORGET ... !!!

That The Label of Friends ...
Goes WAY BEYOND Talk ... !!!


It’s About A LOT MORE ... !!!

So BEFORE You Get Clowned ...
By A Sweet Talking Mouth ...
Who’s Quick To Suggest ...
That They’ll Do What Is Best ...
For YOU In ... Times of Need ...

Make Sure Their Loyalty ...
Doesn’t Feed Off Money ...
Or ... HAVING To AGREE ...
With The Things THEY Believe ...

Because MANY Will SHOUT ...
About ... Helping You out ...

When Tough Times Come Around ...
But AREN’T ... Easily FOUND ...
