“So What Is That Thing ?” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 18/11/2020

So What Is THAT Thing ... ?!?
That Makes You Become ...
An ... Artistic KING ...
Whose Wordplay’s Loved ... ???

Because It Seems To Me ...
That Reality Feeds A Reluctancy ...
For People To Say ...
That Your Wordplay’s Great ... ?!?

Because of Verse ...
That DISTURBS The Nerves ...
of Those In The Burbs ...
And The Sheople’ Herds ... !!!


Who ...
CLEARLY DON’T Like ... !!!

Wordplay That Invites ...
A Level of Thought ...
That Lets Rhymes Fly ...

That Makes Them Unsure ... ?!?
of What They Import ...
And Then ... ABSORB ...

That Makes Them Move ...
In The Ways That They Do ... !!!

So ... Art That ELEVATES ...
Through Thoughts That Relate ...
How It Is That They BEHAVE ...

ISN'T What They Wanna Hear ...
When They Just Wanna ESCAPE ...

The STRESSES And PAINS ...
of Their Working Days ...
And Their DEEPEST FEARS ... !!!

About The World Today ...
That Show That Things AREN'T GREAT ... !!!

When It Comes To The Strains ...
Now Putting PRESSURE On Veins ... !!!

Like CORONA Complaints ...
And INFECTION Rates ... !!!


... Election Campaigns ...
And What Leaders Now Claim ...

To Be What Humans NEED ...
To OVERCOME This Disease ...
Like The Use of VACCINES ...
And ... NEW Technologies ...

Yeah That’s Right ...
Like ... “ 5G “ ... !!!

FORGET Conspiracies ...
That’s Just ... REALITY ... !!!


Which Seems To Be ...
A Thing That Feeds ...
... INSECURITIES ... !!!

When Artistry Does NOT Concede ...
To Frivolities And Comedic Themes ...

Or The Type of Wordplay ...
That ... “ ENTERTAINS “ ... !!!

It’s A Funny Old Game ...
That Determines The Way ...
That People Gain FAME ...
For The Art That They Create ...

So What Is That Thing ... ?!?

That Makes People SING ...
Your ... PRAISES ... !!!

When It Comes To The Art ...
That You’re ... CREATING ... ?!?

Cos’ It’s ESCAPING Me ...
When My Artistry ...
Deals In TRUTH And REALITY ... ?!?

So ... Is THAT The Thing ...
That Proves To STING ... ?!?

And Makes Heads REJECT ... !?!

Art Where ... INTELLECT ...
Is What It Really PROJECTS ...
As Well As Common Sense ...
In The Things That It Presents ...

I Guess That Life ...
Is What Truly Denies ...
Ways To Recognise ...
What’s Wrong From Right ...

Or What's Good From Bad ...
Which I Think Is ... SAD ... !!!

When A Monetary Prize ...
Hot Bod And Nice Eyes ...
Seems To Be What Collects ...
ATTENTION And RESPECT ... !!!

And Followers Who ...
Will Say That You ...
Create Art That’s COOL ...
That ... Calms Their Mood ... !!!

Rather Than The Kind of Verse ...
That As I Said ... DISTURBS ... !!!

The Way That People Think ...
And See ... THEMSELVES ... !!!

Well To Me What I Write ...
DOESN’T Have To Be LIKED ... !!!

But When It Comes To Life ...
CANNOT Be CONTRIVED ...
Or Be ... FILLED With LIES ... !!!

And Most Certainly Needs ...
To Be ..... PRECISE ..... !!!

Because Fallacies ...
Within My Artistry ...
Are Things That I’ll REJECT ...
Until The Day That I’m DEAD ... !!!

Because I Want RESPECT ...
For Simply Coming CORRECT ... !!!

Which ISN’T What Can Be Said ...
of Most In ... ENTERTAINMENT ... !!!

Who Receive Headlines ...
And Have Been Recognised ...
For Artistic Vibes ...
That The Masses Like ...

Well ENTERTAINMENT Licks ...
That ... Are NOT AUTHENTIC ...
Or REALLY ... “ Artistic “ ... !!!!!


And That’s Just What I THINK ... !!!

But Hey ...
Each To Their Own ...

I Know I KNOW ... !!!


But A Lot of GREAT ART ...
Is Left ... Out In The COLD ... !!!


Because It CHILLS ...
Right To The Bone ... !!!


When Lyrical Skills ...
Are What It Shows ...
Within It’s Quotes ...

So The Question Is ...
As Simple As This ...

When It Comes To Art That’s Made ...
That ... ELEVATES MIND STATES ...

And Battles AGAINST ...
Art That GAINS MASS FAME ...

What Does It Enlist ...
That Really Makes It BIG ...?!?

Cos’ I CAN’T Seem To Find It ...
