Like an albatros
I criss
Then cross
Lines of red ink on me
And what's the cost?
I keep fighting,
But lost
And cut my ear right off
Like Evander Holyfield
Or Van Gogh,
An artist
Now trust.
And me,
The curse
Who gets worse
The more you get to know him.
Everything I do
Is like a ******* sin.
And life is a pool
I can't jump in-
I can't swim
And then I sink
And think
Of those who can't swim too
In my ocean of negativity
And now dying virtues.
This is my cue
To leave out
And choose
The ones who know what
I'm about
Before I lose
My sanity to clout
And pick a fool
Like me.
A maniac and insomniac
And freak show
To be.

" Numbered " ......... 10 .........  
where they and their friends  
keep feeding us Lies ...  
Again and Again ... !!!!!!!!!!

It's all a pretense ...  
their calls for Defence ... !!!  
  
" Defence of the realm !!!"  
while they're at the helm ....  
is something the masses ....  
now needs to ... " Dispel !!! "  
  
because it's quite clear  
they're  just helping  
..... " Themselves " ..... !!!!!!  
  
Propaganda ..... Sells ..... !!!  
just like their talk ... " SMELLS ' ..........  
of something that ... " STINKS " ... !!!!!!!!!  
  
Something .... "Prepared" ....  
in their public speech ... Scripts ...

to keep you from seeing  
what really is ... TRUE ...  
their complete disregard  
for .... Public Issues ....  
  
Those that affect ... ME ... !!!  
and those that affect ... YOU .. !!!.  
  
if you turn TEN around

Well .......  
The trap's long been ... SET... !  
to keep people ... DOWN ...  
and wearing .. A FROWN ... !!!  
  
Unless you are wearing  
A Wig ... and ... A Gown ...  
and clearly ... Ofcourse ...  
All These ... Government Clowns ... !!!  
  
So ... How does that sound ... ?

about ... Propaganda ...  
and Lies .... Leaders USE ...  
to give themselves ... Pounds ...

See ... " The Poverty Gap " ...  
is all ... part of their plan ...  
  
Immigrants this & Immigrants that !!!  
Their words divide masses and  
" Widens " ....... The Gap .............  
while they plan .... Rubbing Hands .... !!!  
  
See .... Communities .....  
that are filled with ... "PEACE" ...  
RELY ON ............... UNITY .......... !!!!!!!  
  
Which In Turn ........  
should then .... mean ....  
that they ... " No Longer Need "  
Heavy Handed .... Police .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
  
Now ..... Capitalists ......  
are just New Age Fascists  ......  
or ..... Yes you have guessed ..... !!!!!  
are New Age ..................... Separatists ............  
  
So ...... Who in the end .....  
Benefits ...... from all this ..... ??????  
  
Please ..... THINK about this .....  
before ..... Parting Your Lips ..... !!!!!  
  
if we hate each other ...  
because of our ... Colour ...  
or ... because of ... Pride ...  
that we should put ... ASIDE ... !!!!!!!!!  
  
These people in Power ....  
just sit back and .... Smile ....  !!!!!!  
  
and keep passing laws ...  
that ensure that the poor ...  
STAY ... " Right Where They Are ... !!! "  
  
Are you with me so far ... ???  
The rich just get richer ...  
and watch the rest ... " wither "  
  
because of ... The Strain ... !!!  
APPLIED ... to ... Our Brains ... !!!!!!!  
  
from .... riding on trains  
to bills we must pay ...  
just to maintain ...  
A Life ... " Less Restrained " ... !!!

Governments & what they use, as their guide to, Governance ... ?!?
Big Virge Sep 2021
So As You Go Through Life...
And Become MORE WISE...

It Gets Hard To Deny...
That Our Human Kind...
Indulges In Tribes...
And Divisive Vibes...

From Ancient Times...
To The World Today...
We Continue To Fight...
And Divide In Ways...
That Really AREN'T Great...
And STILL REFUSE To Unite... !?!

It’s A SAD Thing To See...
That Some Humans Feel...
That They DESERVE To Be Seen...
As A... SUPERIOR Breed... !!!

Because of Their SHEEN...
Or Because of... Money... ?!?

When These Things Just PROVE...
That Divisions RULE Their Attitudes...
And How They Move From Being At School...
Where Youthful Crews Divide Into Groups...

To Groups Online...
Who Divide By Lines...
That AREN’T So Nice... !!!

Some Divide Because Rhymes...
AREN’T What They Like... !!!

While Some Seem To Divide...
Just Because of... PRIDE... !?!

JEALOUSY And ENVY...
And By Being... Sly... !!!

So Choose To Hide Behind...
A Code That Invites...
Their Lack of Vision...
To Lead To Division...

So They Choose To Use Scripture...
Like A Form of CONSCRIPTION... !!!!!

Because They’re CONDITIONED...
By... Divisive Thinking... !!!

It’s A HUMAN FLAW...
That Begins To GNAW...
As Well As... BORE...
Just Like WILD Boars...
When They’re At WAR... !!!

Or Just Like WILD BISONS...
When They Are Fighting... !!!

... BUTTING Heads...
Like Evander And Tyson... !!!

And Let’s NOT FORGET...
How That Lead To EAR BITING... !!!

You See.....

... All This DIVIDING...
Has INSPIRED My Writing...
This Piece To Suggest...
That THIS NEEDS To END... !!!

From EGO Driven Poets...
To This Need To Defend...
Some RIDICULOUS View... !?!

That We Need ALL These Groups...
Instead of ONE BIG TROUPE... !!!

Which Sets A Standard...
That Leads To Factions...
And Tribal Fights...
That Fuel The Minds...
of... FBI Types... !!!!!

Like That HOOVER Guy... !!!

Who Then Contrive...
To Use DIVISIVE Factors...
To Make People DIE...
Way BEFORE Their Time... !!!

That’s Right Like Black Panthers...
Like The CHAIRMAN...
... FRED HAMPTON... !!!

So Divisions SHATTER...
And Create Chapters...

BLACKER And SADDER...
Than POETIC TRAGEDIES... !!!

THEY CREATE CALAMITIES... !!!

WITHOUT JANE or Doris Day...
But In Ways So INHUMANE... !!!

That They DISGRACE The Human Race... !!!
That Claims To Be... SO GREAT... !!!

But NATURE... IS This Way... !!!

From Lions And Their Manes...
To The Prides That They Maintain... !!!

So Maybe That’s Just How...
Humans Are Meant To Get Down... ?!?

To Embrace Tribal Ways...
Like Those From African Plains...

But Should We Not Have Learned...
By NOW... That UNITY Serves...
A Much GREATER Purpose... !!?!!

Than To Get On Peoples Nerves...
Until They Choose To HURT...
Or End Up Doing WORSE... !?!

That’s Why I Write These Words...
of Honest... Simple Verse... !!!

In The Hope That They Will NURSE...
And HEAL... Divisive Herds...

It’s A Dream To Want To See...
UNITY For... Humanity... !!!

That May NOT EVER FIND...
It’s Way To ALL Human Lives... ?!?

So These Poetic Lines...
Define A DIFFERENT Fight... !!!

They Fight For Humans To UNITE...
And To Fight For What I See...
As Being What Is RIGHT... !!!

For Humans To Now Recognise...
That It Really Is Time...

For Us All To DENY...

All These.....

..... “ Divisive Vibes “....
So many people talk about the idea of unity, but the question is, is it a realistic ideal to truly believe in, and if it is, why aren't we, as the human race doing so by now ???

Freak Show
Alex Smith Apr 2019
Like an albatross
I criss then cross
Lines of red ink on me
And what's the cost?
I keep fighting,
But lost
And cut my right ear off
Like Evander Holyfield
Or Van Gogh,
An artist,
Now trust.
And me the curse
Who only gets worse
The more you get to know him.
Everything I do
Is a ******* sin.
And life is a pool
I can't jump in-
I can't swim
And then I sink
And think
Of those who can't swim too
In my ocean of negativity
And dying virtues.
These are my cues
To leave out
And choose
The ones who know what
I'm about
Before I lose
My sanity to clout
And pick a fool
Like me.
A maniac and insomniac
And freak show
To be.
I heard that if a bull-**** takes full-strength ****** & Cialis with a
shot of rye whiskey every half-hour for 1 year that she'll be afflicted
with nutty Evander Holyfield's irreversibly-swollen cauliflower ear.
Cauliflower ear, also known as perichondrial hematoma or wrestler's ear, is a deformity of the ear caused by trauma. Cauliflower ear occurs when blood pools in your pinna after it's been hit or struck. The pinna is your outer ear. This pooling of blood, known as a hematoma, needs to be treated right away.
Following the footsteps of the Panthers
boxing enemies like evander
holyfield the real deal
so **** how you critics feel?
show me yo head
so I can dump led
in yo *** fast cash
equals the grave
how can I be saved?
in a society that's built around violence
and once I broke silence
about America past
all them conservatives
quick to blast
my views don't blow my fuse
cuz I'll leave ya body drooled
nothing but a fountain of life
wasting away sounds of the ak
dawning in the early morning no yawning
we ready for war
five hundred years
and still can't get emancipation
or reparations
for past peers just last year
I shedded my last tear
they all gone this ain't a song
this a battle cry
so all you enemies look me in my eyes
beforeya die
I say a quick blessing
then give yo blessing
with the click of a Smith n Wesson
like twista once the tongue gets ya
ya get lost like you rambling.through a maze
******* with me is like a thousand years to a day
so press yo luck I'll be ****** if you try
real ****** don't die
the revolutions is preoccupied
set forts to troops
as we ride and invoke homicide


21 guns salute for my real troops
breakin through barriers and loops
**** Lopez he just a sellout
trying to get us to riot in violence
black man Mexican man
y'all from the same foundation
so stop getting caught in the mental litigation
they usin tools to separate us
while they bustin at us surpressin
us through signs and symbols vestibule not ya average Huxtable
I'm in it for the love of the war
no tears will be shed in the end
and all of those who pretend gone bend
sticking yo endz
once again
I make adversaries run into trash bins
**** yo friends
my enemies yo enemies
if you ride for me uh
I been an expert since my birth
strategize my worth
all he'll breaks loose
worse come worse
envisions myself
next to a plaque
chilling with Malcolm  Martin n Nat
smoking a Cuban fat
n on my ligaments rest the gat
fully loaded soon to be unloaded
at the press put it to rest may God bless
once the revolution progress with lil stress
and if I fail? I'll be jailed
but it don't matter
I'll still smile at all the evil lives blood I shattered
word yo my unborn

Big Virge Jan 2021
Well Now It’s Pretty Clear...

That The Truth Is Steered...
AWAY From Ears And Peoples Eyes... !!!

When It Comes To OUR LIVES... !!!
Because It’s... LIES...
That Are Fed To Minds... !!!

To Manipulate And Generate...
A Breed of People …
Now Known As SHEOPLE'... !!!
With Mind States... FEEBLE... !!!

With... Herd Mentalities...
Now WITHOUT Morality... !!!

Cos’ It’s A World of INSANITY... ?!?
That People Now GLADLY... !?!

EMBRACE Cos’ Reality‘s...
Filled With LIES And BRUTALITY... !!!
Because Things Are CLEARLY...
... NOT Quite As They Seem... !!!

Like The CLAIM That Police...
... “ PROTECT AND SERVE “...

Because That’s NOT How They...
....... SEEM To Work...... ?!?!?

They’re Like Chickens And Jerks...
Who Are QUICK To TAKE LIVES...
When You Really Observe...
What Their Work UNEARTHS... !!!!

Just Like This NEW World... !!!
Where Men Are Now Girls... ?!?
And YES... Visa Verse... !!!

Where Those Who Make Pictures...
That Now Make BIG FIGURES...
Are Actually SISTERS... !?!
Instead of Well... BROTHERS... ?

Whose Lovers Were SMOTHERED...
And Kept... "UNDERCOVER"...

For Them To DISGUISE...
And Hide Behind LIES...
About Their ****** Vibes... !?!

That DEFINE How Things REALLY...
Are... NOT What They Seem... !!!

Like These New Protests Teams...
That Are Now Hitting Streets... !!!

With FRAUDULENT Chatter...
About... Whose Lives MATTER... ?!?
When Skin That Is BLACKER...
Has ALWAYS Been CAPTURED... !!!

By... Light Skinned Slave Masters...
REMOVED From The Chapters...
of...... Black History...... !?!

Because Things Are NOT Really...
... As They Seem To Be... !!!

You’d BETTER Believe...
That Our Histories Feed...
A World of... FALLACIES... !!!

From Those About SLAVES...
To All These Famous Names...

Who Now Seem To Be SHAMED...
... Pretty Much EVERYDAY... !?!

Because of Their Ways...
… RAPES And ABUSES...
That CLEARLY Keep PROVING...

That Hollywood Movements...
Deal In MUCH Confusion... !?!
LOOSENESS And CRUDENESS...
That Now Needs REDUCING...
Because They Need Schooling...

In Just Being REAL...
Because UNLIKE Evander... !!!

They’re NOT The REAL DEAL... !!!
They’re Just COGS On The Wheel...

of Things NOW REVEALED...
To CORRUPT Like The SHIELD...

The One Where... Vic Mackey...
Showed Policeman Move BADLY... !!!

Because The Power They Wield...
Is The Type That CONCEALS...

just Like Women Now Do...
When It Comes To *** Moves...
And Their CLAIMS of ABUSE...
That AREN’T ALWAYS TRUE...

Which Is Why Emmett Till...
Ended Up Being KILLED... !!!!!!!!

You SEE Things Are Not Always...
As They Seem To Be... !!!

As It Is With Free Speech...
That Deals In HONESTY...

Which Is Why...
There Will NEVER Be EQUALITY... !!!

When Peopled Are Deemed...
To Be LESSER BREEDS...

Because of Skin Tones...
And The Money They Hold... ?!?

And What of CORONA... ???
... Is It What It Seems... !?!

Or Just A CONTROLLER...
To... Make People Be...
A Breed of Sub-missives...
To New World Regimes...
Run By Government Fiends... !!!

Well THIS I Can Say...

My Use of Wordplay...

No Matter What Chapter... !!!
