"Art" ... A poem written by Big Virge on the 27/12/2006

When your art's your closest friend
It can tear you apart .....
If you won't just bend
To become a ... "famous star" ...

But ...
I guess like Common says ...

One day ... oh yes ... !!!
It'll all make sense ...
The struggles that we go through
To simply make ... progress ...
Or taste what's called ... "Success" ...

You see .....
you've got to keep your head ...
when facing those with less ...
especially when you're striving
to make your art transcend ...
even when they're driving ...
their Lexus or their Benz ...

Remember ... in the end
"True Talent" ... outshines them
because they're ... "Talentless"

The fools who move ...
with shady crews ...
who choose to use ...
people ... like tools
usually refuse ...
to face ... "The Truth" ...

One day it's True ...
they're bound to lose ...
and pay their dues ...
because of lies ...
they have contrived ...
to have their lives ...
in the ... "Limelight" ...

See they're not so nice ... !!!
whether girls or guys ...

guys who have ...
No Penis Size ... !!!!!

or girls who like to ...
spread their thighs ...
tend to use ...
their devious minds ...
to get a slice ...
of the five-star life ...
by hitching ... rides ...
and ... being sly ...

So don't be surprised ...
You tend to find
that ... "talentless mules" ...
"avoid" ... art school ...

If you love your art ...
could you ever choose ...
to follow the path ...
these people do ... ???

Would you choose ... to bend over
for a NEW ... Range Rover ... !?!

or .......

Spread your thighs ... ???
to get a contract signed ... ???

See ... many have fallen ...
by the wayside ...
and have then withdrawn ...
from the publics' eyes ...
leaving the public ...

wondering ...... ??? .......

....... " Why " ........ !?!

Some have paid the ultimate price
and lost their lives ...
or tried suicide ...
before it was time ...
to end their lives ... !!!

The price of fame ...
is getting high ...
just like ... "Price Hikes" ...

What would you pay ... ?
to see your face ...
all over the place ...

Would you sell your soul ...
to become well-known ... ???

Quite a few now do ...
and that's no joke ... !!!
They end up broke ...
with the devil in tow ...

"Louis-Cypher" ... knows ...
No Soul ... No Show ... !!!!!
just the Final Crossroads ....
If you don't believe me ....

Ask ... "Ralph Macchio !!!!!"

Life it seems ...
can be like a movie ...
what you choose to seek ...
may become ... "Your Destiny !!!" ...

So please beware ...
what you choose to dream ...
may result in ...  

... "Nightmares !!!" ...

Be careful what you wish for ... !!!
cos it may come true ...
The Wishmaster ... proves
that it's ... "NOT" ... all good ... !!!

The world's not yours ... !!!
You're just a pawn ...
so ... make smart moves ...
and leave the devil ... forlorn ... !!!

Stay true to your art ...
and you'll get rewards ...
You don't have to be a star ...
to receive ... awards ...

Awards can be received ...
in many forms ...
trust me ... believe ...

If your art has a cause ...
One day you'll see ...
your art-form ... SOAR ... !!!!!

but it may come from ...
an unlikely source ... ???

Someone might say ...
that you've made their day
and have changed their ways
from a path of hate
to a " Higher Place " ... !!!
where their misplaced hates ...
now been .... "Erased" ....

No amount of pay ...
can replicate ...
that feeling of ...
affecting change ...
in someone who ...
has never met you ... !!!!!

A feeling that nice ...
truly has ... No Price ...
when what you've done ...
has ... "Touched Someone" ...

No Fakeness, Lies or Fabrication
Creation designed through Reflection
is art that has no ... Pretensions ...

Heed these words ...
and you will learn ...
how to cherish your art ...
it can help you breathe ...
just like your heart ...

but ... can tear you "apart" ... !!!
like I said in this piece ...
at the very start ... !!!!!

Too many now abuse ...
the arts for loot ...
a fancy car or designer suit ... !?!
or just to prove ...
that they're better than you ... !!!

Well, whilst they lie ...
stick to my guide ...
and you will find ...
that you'll dent their pride
because it's ... "The Truth" ...
from which ... they hide

They'll try to deny ....
til the day they die ....
but one day they'll find ...
their way to the light ...

The Light ... that shines ...
on those ... inclined ...
to stay true ... to the finish ...
from the very ... start ...

to this Beautiful Thing ....

that we call ................

...... " Art " .................
