'On The Rocks' ... A Poem written Big Virge 23/11/2017

Now I’m OFF THE ROCKS NOT... On The Rocks... !!!!!
Cos We NEED TO Put A STOP...
To ALL THIS ... “ Look what I’ve got ! “...
Diamonds For TYRANTS And Gold For LOST SOULS... !!!!!
I Guess It’s Foretold That Money CONTROLS...
Some Humans Like TUMOURS Made From LUXURIES...
For Which Some People ... BLEED ... !!!
Stories Now Told In Raps and Movies...
And Yet People Seem To Ignore What Is Seen...
In Adverts PROMOTING ... " Diamond Luxuries "...
These People AREN'T JOKING They Want Your Money... !!!
To Put You ON ROCKS That Somehow Supposedly Make You HAPPY.... ?!?
They Financially BLEED Then FEED You Stories...
of How You’ll SUCCEED From MATERIAL Sheens...
In Some Vain Attempt To DEFINE Who You Be.... ?!?
As If What You GAIN In This World Will SUSTAIN.... !!!
A Strength UNRESTRAINED That DOESN’T Feel Pain... ?!?
Well Folks THINK AGAIN And... ENGAGE Your Brains... !!!
This Ideal of WEALTH Just Like That of... " FAME "...
Are Things SUPERFICIAL And NOT So Judicial...
As SPIRITUAL Health And Connection To Self... !!!
DON'T Let Advertisers Be Your Life Advisers... !!!!
You NEED To Be WISER... DON'T Let Them Entice Ya... !!!
I KNOW I CAN'T Tell What Serves People WELL... !!!
But Just Look Around GREED Mongers... "Surround"... !!!!!
USING Dollars And Pounds To Send Markets DOWN... !!!
That Cause People Frowns When Their Finances... "Drown"... !!!
Like Indexes Now That Are Linked To The Dow....
You See Rocky Roads Can Drop You In HOLES As BIG As POTHOLES...
So Watch How You Roll Those Financial Dice... !!!!!
I Suggest You THINK TWICE Before Thinking Your Life...
Will Bring You MORE SMILES Because of Things That You BUY...
You Can Be A Wise Guy WITHOUT Trophy Wives...
Or Gangster Type Ties That APPEAR To Provide...
A Life FILLED WITH HIGHS Like Girlies And Guys Whose Life’s Been RESIGNED...
To Smoking THOSE ROCKS That Cause Hearts To STOP... !!!
As I Said.... RECOGNISE What Money Can Hide...
A Life FULL of LIES And Vibes NOT SO NICE... !!!!
When Money Takes HOLD of... MORE Than Your Home... !!!
And Then... On The Rocks Provides You With KNOCKS..... !!!
Due To Drinking That’s Linking Yourself To BIG LOWS And Financial Blows...
That Take You below ... New Budget Thresholds...
So Now You CAN’T GO To Your Holiday Home ... !!!!!
Because It’s Been SOLD To TOP DOGS Who EAT Bones... !!!!!
Cos' Their Money Is OLD And Kept Hidden In Zones Where Taxation Is LOW... !!!!!!
So Is Locked Into Plots That Make Joes’ Pay A Toll...
Because They FORGOT That SOMETIMES It’s NOT All About What You’ve GOT... !!!
Cos' This LUST For TOP SPOT And.... LUXURIOUS Lots....
Are Things That Can STING And Leave You In TIGHT SPOTS ... !!!!!
That Can Leave Your Life............................ Teetering.........
