“Building Bridges” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 8/7/2021

It’s A Funny Old Business ...
This Burning of Bridges ...  
 
Because Speaking Your Mind ...
Seems To Be What Defines ...
The Type Who Burns Bridges ...  
Who Just Won’t Play Nice ... !!!
 
So Does Burning A Bridge ...
Simply Mean Speaking TRUTH ... ?
Because When You Speak It ...
It Tends To Give Proof ...
 
That Bridges Existence ...
Then Get Burned With Swiftness ... !!!
 
Or Do LIES ... Truly Bind ...
Building Bridges And Ties ... ?!?
 
When Bridges Have Interests ...
That Invest In Sinning ...
Lots of FAKE Grinning ...
FAKE Men And FAKE Women ...

 
My Bridges Need LYNCHPINS ...
That Deal In Sound Thinking ... !!!
 
So Don’t Deal In Snitching ...
Or Bitching Like Women ... !!!
 
My Bridges Are Driven ...
To Build STRONG Opinions ...
About How We’re Living ...
And Building For Children ...
 
Through Wordplay That’s Written ...
To Build STRONGER Bridges ...
That Help Us Connect ...
More Than Modern Day Tech ... !!!
 
Yes Bridges Cement ...
And Aid Developments ...
But Can Cause Heads Problems ...
And Mess With Their Conscience ...
 
If They’re Quick To Falter ...
Before Facing Altars ...
And FALSE Holy Waters ... !!!
 
Their Bridges Face SLAUGHTER ...
When No Bricks Or Mortar ...
Can Stop Night Marauders ...
Or Tribes of Rhyme Forces ...
Whose Bridges Are FLAWLESS ... !!!
 
And Have Broken Down Borders ...
For Brothas’ And Daughters ...
Shot Callers And Brawlers ...
From All The Worlds Corners ... !!!
 
These Bridges Have Sources ...
That Come From Dark Orders ... !!!
 
Like Those In Professions ...
Where Law’s What They’re STRESSING ... !!!
 
Building Bridges With THEM ...
Can Just Be Pure STRESS ... !!!
Cos’ Their Builds Need Inspection ...
And LOTS of Fact Checking ... !!!

 
Cos’ Things That They’re Building ...
Are FAR From ..... Impressive ... !!!
 
Just Like Those SELECTED ...
To Become ... ELECTED ... !!!
Whose Bridges Need Ditching ...
BEFORE They Start Sinking ... !!!
 
So Be Wise And Be CAUTIOUS ...
Before Just Conforming ... !!!
 
Build Bridges Where You ...
Get Whatever You’re Due ... !!!

 
It’s A HARD Thing To Do ... !!!
Build Bridges of TRUTH ... !!!

 
... BALANCE And Views ...
That Hold ONE Common Groove ...
 
I’ve Built One Or Two ...
That Proved To Be Good ... !!!
 
But Only A FEW ...
Have Produced SOLID Food ...
Like Bass Lines And Grooves ...
That Have Now Become Tunes ...
of Verse That Is Fuelled ...
With ... Big Virge Rhyme Use ... !!!
 
NO Bridges Just Verse ...
of Big Virge Spoken Words ...
 
Due To Creative Thinking...
And Well Produced Bridges ...
 
The Type Synergised ...
By Like Thinking Minds ...
 
But They Are HARD To Find ... !!!
So I’ll Say One More Time ... !!!
 
That You Need To Be WISE ...
Before Making NEW TIES ...
Cos A Bridge COMPROMISED ...
Will Come Down Like Landslides ...
And Will Leave You Downsized ...

 
Building Bridges With Wives ...
And WARM Family Vibes ...
Is The Type of Advice ...
I Think’s Good To Live By ... !!!
 
Just DO NOT Walk In BLINKERED ... !!!
 
When It Comes To Business ...
And How Things Are Hidden ... !!!
 
Cos’ An HONEST Opinion ...
Can HURT Your Position ... !!!
 
When It Comes To Your Visions ...
 
of Doing This Thing ...
That’s Known As .....
 
....... “ Building Bridges “ .......
