These Days I Have To Say...
That When It Comes To Wordplay...
That I Now Put To Page....

I REALLY Am Getting Much Better With Age... !!!
There’s Much LESS Rage In Verse That I Display...
Than When I First Started... Lyrically BLASTING... !!!

On Subjects Like Societal Pain Within My Rhymes...
Things Are Much The Same And Haven't Really Changed... !!!
So Now I DON’T Time Waste Or Waste As Much Space...
On Paper I Use To Share My Views...
I’m Now More Concise...
When I Write My Rhymes About Mankind.....
And About How Our Lives Have Become Contrived...
Because of Wise Guys Who Tell Us LIES... !!!
Especially Those With Government Ties...
But It’s Okay... Because While They Dictate...
I’m Getting... BETTER With AGE... !!!

My Body Now ACHES But I’m NO Longer Teenaged... !!!
But Still Have A Brain That Functions Okay...
And Creates SO MUCH Poetic Stuff That’s Rough And Tough... !!!
That I No Longer Need People To Feed My Wish To Be Seen...
As A Talented Guy... My Rhyme Designs CLEARLY Define...
That EXCEPTIONAL Works Come From My Verse And Use of Words... !!!
That Are Filled With Lines Built For... The WISE... !!!
My Wisdom SHINES Throughout My Rhymes...
So Now I Recognise The Reasons Why...
I’m NOT The One Who Will Become...
ADMIRED And LOVED By EVERYONE...
I NO LONGER WANT THAT...
To Be One Whose TRAPPED By Fickle Fans Or Hollywood Clans...
Cos’ I Now OVERSTAND’ The Way They SCAM...
Through DEVIOUS Plans And... DUD Contracts... !!!
That Impose Controls On Desperate Souls...
Who Seem Desperate To Go Into DARK Zones... !!!

To Join The CLONES Whose Dreams Are SOLD...
To Corporate Folds... To Be Turned To GOLD...
And Platinum Too So Now I’m Cool Because I’ve Been Shrewd... !!!
So REFUSED To Choose To Move With These Crews... !!!
Because of Things I’ve Viewed... And Been Privy To... !!!
Creative Dudes With Mind States Confused OBTUSE And RUDE... !!!
EGOS SO HUGE That They Could Consume Hot Air Balloons... !!!!!!

... BAD ATTITUDES... !!!
Girls Willing To USE SEX As Their TOOL...
To Get To Groove With The Coolest Crews...

...... They’re Being FOOLED ...... !!!
Cos’ It’s A CRAZY Place...
The One Where FAME Rules Just Like CAIN... !!!

So YES Deals In PAIN That Drives Many INSANE...
Just To Get Paid And Have A Well Known Face...

So I Now REFRAIN From Embracing The CHASE... !!!
Cos’ RATS RULE The Game Where Fame Is MISPLACED...
As Being What Makes A Person... “ GREAT “...
It’s Such A SHAME That We Have Been TRAINED...
To Believe The HYPE BEHIND Famous Types... !!!
Whose Guise CAN'T HIDE What They’re REALLY Like... !!!
So Me I’m A Guy Whose Now Recognised...
That It All LOOKS Fine When You're On The OUTSIDE...
Success Can’t Be Defined By A Monetary Prize Or A Lavish Life... ?!?
Because Pursuit of Fame Is A Game For LAME BRAINS... !!!
So I’m Now HAPPY To Say That My ONLY CLAIM...
About The Rhymes I Create Is That Just Like Me... They’re Getting.....
