"Jealousy" .... A Poem written by Big Virge on the 31/10/2005

I'm NOT ...
Jealous of you ...    
 
Are You ...  
Jealous of me ... ?!?  
 
Because of ... Words ...  
You Hear Me Speak ... ?  
   
Why Be That Way ... ?  
It's ... NOT My Fault ...  
You've Got ... Nothing To Say ... !!!  
   
I'm Simply Doing ... " Poetry " ...  
To See If Those ... At The BBC ...  
 
Have Prose That Flows  
Better ... Than Me ... ?  
   
If They Have ... ?  
Trust Me ... I'm GLAD ... !!!  
   
I'm NO HATER ...  
Or ... Berater ... !!!  
   
Like JOOLS I'll Check ...  
Your Show ... A BIT LATER ... !!!  
   
That's ...  
NOT Because of ... " Jealousy " ... !!!  
   
But IS Because ... Your Poetry ...  
Doesn't Make Me ... Feel Complete ... !!!  
   
" Of Course " ... Your words ...  
   
DON'T Have To ...  
Do ... THAT ... !!!  
But Isn't Prose ...  
Supposed To ... MAP ... ?  
   
A ... Point of View ...  
That Folk Can ... " Catch " ... !?!  
   
Maybe NOT ... !?!  
But Prose I've GOT ... !!!  
Is ... Bound To SHOCK ... !!!  
   
Because ... Things I Say ...  
Reflect The Things ...  
We SEE ... " TODAY " ... !!!!!  
   
Like ... JEALOUSY ... !!!    
   
Why Do ...    
JEALOUS Ones ... " ENVY " ... ???  
And Spread Such Negativity ... !?!  
   
That's Why I Write ....  
...... My Poetry ......    
 
To Keep Me FREE .......  
   
From .... " Jealous Sneaks " .... !!!!!  
   
Who ...  
BLOCK The Path ...  
of Those ... Like Me ...  
   
Whose Words Are ... STRONG ... !!!!!  
And Touch The Souls ...  
And YES ... " Psyches " ...  
   
of People Wearing ...  
New ... Nike - Eees' ... !!!!!!  
   
.... " JEALOUSY " ....  
 
Has Made The Streets ...  
A Place For ... " THUGS " ...  
And ... VIOLENT Thieves ... !!!  
 
Who ....  
Want The Things ...    
That ... Luxury Brings ...  
   
FANCY Cars ... !!!  
And Stuff That ... " BLINGS " ... !!!  
   
EVEN Phones ...  
With ... Fancy Rings ... !!!  
   
So WATCH YOURSELF ... !!!  
You Could Be Dealt ...  
Some ... HORRID CARDS ...  
Because of ... " Wealth " ... !!!!!  
   
DOWN To The DEVIL ... !!!  
NO ... " Buy or Sell " ... !!!  
   
Just Maggots And A ...  
... " Taste of HELL " ...  
   
I'd Rather Dwell ...  
With Those Who'd Rather ...  
   
... " Wish Me Well " ... !!!    
   
But From Their Heart ...    
Cos' Some Do This ...  
With ... POISONED Darts' ... !!!!!  
   
JEALOUS People ...  
THINK They're ... " SMART " ... !!!    
   
Until Their Thoughts ...  
And ... "Fragile Forts" ...  
Are Left ... OPEN ...  
And Are NO MORE ... !!!  
   
Then They're STUCK ...  
Like ... " Dogs of War " ... !!!  
   
BEGGING ... Like ...  
Those Men In ... " Saw " ... !!!  
   
"I'll change my ways  
it's not too late    
please don't take  
my life away !!!"  
   
"I'll do what's right  
and won't tell lies  
I did those things  
because of Pride !!!"  
   
See ..... "JEALOUSY" .....  
Stands Next To PRIDE ... !!!  
   
No Wonder ....  
JEALOUS People ... SLIP ...  
And Fall Right Down ...  
THAT ... SLIPPERY Slide ...    
 
And Then Are QUICK ...  
To ... RUN and HIDE ... !!!!  
   
These People ... YES ... !!!!!  
   
I DO ...  CHASTISE ... !!!  
 
Because ...  
Things They Do ...  
Are So ... UNWISE ... !!!    
   
Making Friends ...  
With ... SHADY Guys ...  
Who Then Devise ...  
Peoples' ... DEMISE ... !!!!!  
   
They ... Hide Behind ...  
Their ... " Crock of Lies " ... !!!  
   
Watch Them CLOSE ...  
And ..... " ANALYSE " ......  
 
And Trust Me Folks ...  
DON'T Be SURPRISED  .....  
if They Can't Look You ...    
 
.... " In Your Eyes " .... !!!  
   
They Say ... That's A Sign ...  
That ... Someone's LYING ... !!!  
 
Which ...  
Could Be An Act ...    
of ... " JEALOUSY " ... !!!!!!!  
   
Which ...  
Brings Me Back To ...  
" POETS " ... See ... !!!!  
   
MANY Have Tried To ....  
...... " DENY Me " ........  
 
A Spot On Stage .....  
To ... Stake MY CLAIM ...  
And Make People ...  
   
FORGET Their Name ... !!!  
   
The ..... " Poetry Scene " .....  
Has ...... " little fame " ......  
Because These Snakes ...  
Have ... LITTLE SHAME ... !!!  
   
That's Why I Write ...  
And ... Use The Mic ...  
 
To Make These ......    
JEALOUS Snakes ...    
   
... " UPTIGHT " ... !!!    
   
I Wish I Didn't Have To Be ...  
A Man Whose Prose ...  
Deals ... HEAVY BLOWS ... !!!!  
   
But ... Such A Gift ...  
Is .... " HEAVENLY " ....  
   
But Heaven's Somewhere ...  
   
They ... WON'T See ... !!!!!!  
   
People FILLED With ...  
   
....... " JEALOUSY ".......
