"What's In A Word ?" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 20/12/2004

So …. What's In A Word ?
  
Well A Word Like ... F**K ...  
Can Possibly Mean You've Run Out of Luck ... !!!  
   
Now A Word Like  … ” LOVE ”…  
Gives HATRED A SHOVE ..… !!!!!  
And Can ELEVATE You ….  
To The Sky With … “ THE DOVES ” … !!! 
   
The Words We Use Can Be … BEAUTY FILLED …
Like An Evening When The Chardonnay’s Chilled …
Or The Day That Your Lifetime Ambition's … FULFILLED … !!!!! 
 
But THIS Word … KILLED … 
Means NEEDLESS BLOOD ...
Once Again Has Been SPILLED ... !!!    
   
When You Hear The Word ... TUNE …  
You're Probably In A Music FILLED Room …  
 
While A Word Like … BOOM …  
Explains Moments of DOOM … !!
   
While ASSUME I Associate …...  
With Those Who See COONS … !!! 
   
But The Words … FULL MOON …  
Describe A Sky CLEAR of ... Gloom ... !!! 
 
While The Word MONSOON …  
Means The Weather's Gone CRAZY ...  
Like … Bugs Bunny Cartoons … !!!  
   
While A Word Like INSIGHT ...  
Describes The Style With Which I Write ...  
   
While Words Like ... “ GET OFF ! ” ...  
Means A Girl's Had ENOUGH ... !!!  

And When A Girl Uses ... NO ... !!!    
It Means ... You'd Better GO ... !!!  
 
Or DOES IT ... Well THEY KNOW … !!!
   
But A Word Like ...  " RAPE " ...  
Means OH OH It's ... TOO LATE … !!! 
It's Time For You To See A MAGISTRATE ... !!!!!  
   
While A Word Like … “ COURT ” …  

Used To Mean .....  
Alluring A Woman To Help Build A Man's FORT ... !!!  
   
While A Word Like ... "short"…  
Can Define A Vertically Challenged Type TAUNT …  
   
Now A Word Like … VAUNT ...  
Defines Arrogance You FLAUNT … !!!
   
While A Word Like  … COLOUR …  
Is Used To Separate People From Each Other  …… ?!?  
   
So ...... When I Hear The Word UNITY …  
It's A Word That Makes Me Feel TRULY HAPPY … !!! 
   
But GUILTY BELIEVE … !!!   
Is A Word I DON'T Wanna Have Said TO ME … !!!  
And VANITY Defines How Most Young People Be ...  
   
But That ... Just ISN'T Me ... !!!  
I’m Just Using Words That May Play A Part In Our DESTINY …  
By Helping This Thing We Call ... HUMANITY ... !!!  
   
Now THAT'S A Word That Fills Me With GLEE … !!!    
But It Seems These Days ...  
That This Is A Word From Which People ..................... FLEE ... ?!?  
   
We're All Caught Up In … “ TECHNOLOGY ” …  
A Word That REFLECTS Much of What We Now See ...  
From Laptops To Phones To .... WIDESCREEN TV’S ... !!!  
But These Are Just WORDS So I Hope You Can See ...  
Words Can Define YOU And Can Define ... ME ... ?  
   
But Words Like POWER Can Make People COWER ... !!!  
And Can Turn Weak Men Into CROOKS By The Hour ... !!!  
   
And Then Comes The SHOWER ...  
Leaving A Taste In STARVED MOUTHS ...
That's ... EVER SO SOUR ... !!!!!!!!!!  
   
While ….  
BEAUTY And PEACE Define Words Like FLOWER … 
   
So What's In An Hour Well ... Sixty Minutes …  
See Time Like My Rhymes DEFINES ... Infinite ... !!! 
   
INFINITE Skills With Keyboard or Quill ... !!!
So Is There A Word That ... DEFINES My Will … ???  
   
NOT Will As In ... DEATHLINE ... !!!  
But WILL As In ... What Runs Through My Mind …  
   
So With A Quivering Quiet Quintessence ….  
These Words I Write Like Hip Hop Lessons  ...
   
My Words Are Wrapped Like Christmas Presents … !!!  
What's With All This NONSENSE Defence To Offence … ?  
Why Don't People Just Use Some ... COMMON Sense ... !?!
  
Cos' Words Nowadays Are Misused And Abused ...  
By FOOLS Who Could Do With A LIFETIME SENTENCE …. !!!!  
   
"Sorry sir, not deferred, you're gonna do bird,
cos' your usage of language is truly absurd !"
 
   
While My Style of Linguistics .......  
Is Now The Preferred .....  
Way of Passing On KNOWLEDGE … 
   
So …….
