THE BIG TIME

The Life...or is IT

The Big Time

Everything attainable…
In ones eye…
The high profile…
Money long like a country mile…
And unforgettable Billion dollar…
Smile…
This is what’s so sought after…
No more morning afters….
Just continual days…
Eyes hidden behind dark shades…
That sting from…
The light & purity of the suns yellow rays…
Blinage just Sparkling…
Frosty and Frozen necks…
Pole dancing chicks get rich…
… with the flick of a heavily jeweled wrist
Raining down 10,000 ones…
… just for fun
…And the privilege to hear them say “He is that ONE”
Paparazzi…
Snappin shots….
Glare from the lights scream…
I made it to the top…
Never hear the word regret…
So the masses tip laced champagne glasses…
To all of the so called success…
Poppin bottles…
As arsenic filled bubbles make the lies…
…easier to digest
Living the world of the high life…
Moves directed like a video shoot…
Make believed richness…
Really somebody else's loot…
Pull the screen and stop the camera…
…reveal the vile & evil master
The dictator of What IS…
Commercialized…
Money Making…
This is how the Big Time Live…
Take a beauty and chew her up…
A young man scatters seeds all over
…who cares as long as their the chosen
Oh, and it seems to look like it’s all good…
Since life is so depressing in the hood…
All comes with a price to pay…
…Until that High Life…
…The Big Time Sign…
…Burns…
…OUT…
And you’re forgotten and replaced…
By younger…
…prettier …
...sexier…
…and faster…
…In this…

…BIG TIME RACE…

Thank u all for the encouragement...I so appreciate what u all do for me here...

Your pulsing rap style expose of the 'good' life serves as a vivid reminder of how superficial the 'glam' life is, with its glitz and show, with its passing fashions and daily fads... and at this time of year we see so much tinsel that soon tarnishes, so much fake joy that misses the depth of real joy...

Love the flow of your mind...

It would be so much easier on us if we'd stop trying for the "dream guy" in our heads and check out the "real" guys in our hoods, eh? If we saw men as they are, not as we might wish them to be, we'd suffer less heartache, and be less broken in the end! If we stopped believing that what the fortunate few have is real for anyone but them, we'd stop setting ourselves up for defeat and depression.

Disappointment and disillusionment leave a bitter aftertaste that not even memories of the "good life" can erase!

A very in depth analysis of the human condition you portray so poetically...
Really highlights the point for the reader to make their own mind up....
Terrific :)

[Raven Starhawk]

Intoxicating details. I lobe how you wrote this.

[K.C. Zbryk]

You paint quite a picture about the life of these people. I love how you point out the fact that if you treat poeple like consumer products its only a matter of time till you are consumed. Great piece and i love the message.
