Real Ones Poem by Fareez Phalez

Caution signs warn of danger
So you know best to keep away
But of dangers not pointed out
On cautious you must stay

So fear not the loudest man
His mouth reveals too much
But fear the ones in silence
Plotting ways to get you touched

His aura's like an awkward silence
Enough to make the room go quiet
But when he starts to speak
Powerful enough to start a riot

That's where a man's true power lies
It is when his word is law
It does not lie in a one-on-one
It is in a man who can declare war

And he has total control over his men
Like disciplined dogs that won't bite
No man shall fire a shot
Not until he gives them the green light

It is not about getting his hands dirty
He does not have to pull the trigger
It is about having the job done
Simply with the snap of his fingers

Still he maintains the code of silence
Staying under the radar of the law
While you brag to get reputations
Welcoming problems at your door

See, he never needs to be loud
The real power needs no attention
Young man, do you not know
That the real G's move in silence?
