I've Heard These Words ...
... SO MANY TIMES ... !!!!!!    
    
"Virge, you've got,    
some, Radical rhymes !!!"    
      
I'm Really Beginning To Wonder WHY ... ?!?!?    
      
Could It Be Because I Speak My Mind ...    
And Am Not Shy To Speak About WHITES ... !?!    
      
RADICAL Can Mean ...    
Fundamental Inherent And ESSENTIAL ..... !!!    
      
But Use of My Mental ...    
Through Pad And Pencil ...    
Or Better Still .... PEN ....    
      
CLEARLY Causes Some OFFENCE ... !!!!!    
      
I'm Wondering When They'll See The TRUTH ... ?!?    
And Face Problems And STOP Suggesting ...      
That Guys Like ME Are .... " RADICAL MEN " .... !!!!!    
      
They Seem ... FRIGHTENED ... ?!?    
of Messages Sent That Feed The Truth To Our Children ...    
      
They LUST CONTROL And Think They'll NEVER ...    
Pay The Toll For Lies They HOLD That Are ... " UNTOLD " ...      
      
Well The Day WILL COME ...      
When Their Heads Will ROLL ... !!!!!    
      
Times Like THESE Are DANGEROUS ... !!!!!    
When We Have KIDS Shooting BULLETS ... !!!!!    
      
NOW Acts Like THIS Are TRULY COLD ... !!!!!    
      
But I'm The One Who's ... RADICAL ... ??!??    
      
I Guess That's Because I'm BLACK and TALL ...    
And Have REJECTED .... " Basketball " .... !!!!!!    
      
But Use My Voice To Make The CALL ... !!!!!    
      
BUREAUCRATS Now NEED TO Fall ... !!!!!    
      
Even If  I Am ... " Blackballed " ... !!!!!    
      
I'm ALREADY BLACK ... !!!!!    
      
I'm Used To That ...    
As I Am ... " Exclusion " ...    
That's A FACT ... !!!!      
      
RACISM Goes SO FAR BACK ... !!!!!!!!!    
      
That People Now Think ... Men Like Me ...    
Should Just ... " CALM DOWN " ...      
      
"I should be Grateful !"    
      
"May I ask, what for ?"    
      
"Some black people, are now adored !"    
      
"But, what about those who remain poor ?    
or those like me, who still can't walk through certain doors !"    
      
"Young man, you have some Radical Thoughts !"    
      
Words Like THOSE Within My Prose ...      
Simply Show .....    
      
It's NOW About The Way I THINK ... !!!    
      
NOT About My ... Darkened Skin ... !!!!    
      
But THAT For Certain ...    
Does NOT Help ... !!!! ...    
      
I'm Deemed To Be A RADICAL ... !!!      
      
Because My Mind Is Clinical and Quizzical ...      
And Questions Things ... " Political " ... ???    
      
Why ... !?!    
      
Well Because Otherwise ...    
I May Start Being ... PHYSICAL ... !!!!!    
      
I've Made My Choice So Now Scribble ...      
My Questions Keeping Them Simple ... !!!!!    
      
Of Course I'm Somewhat Critical ...    
of Groups Who FEAR ... INDIVIDUALS ... !?!      
      
Such As ME ...    
They FEAR My Speech ...      
And YES My Style of Poetry ...      
And Keep On Saying ..." I'm SCARY !" ...    
      
THEY Choose To Be Pretentious ... !?!    
And Say I Am ... CONTENTIOUS ... !!!    
      
THEY Really Are ...    
So ... " PRECIOUS " ... !!!      
      
About Their Use of Letters ... !!!    
      
These People Are Pretenders ... !!!!!!    
      
And Probably Had Forefathers ...      
Who Kept Slaves In ... Their Cellars ... !!!!!    
      
Well I Am An UPSETTER ... !!!    
Just Like Lee Perry's Fellas ... !!!    
      
And YES No Matter WHAT THEY DO ... !!!    
These Snakes Will NEVER QUELL US ... !!!!!    
      
See I'm NOT LIKE ... " Marcellus " ...      
Pulp Fictioned' With ... " THE GIMP " ... !!!!!!    
      
Bent Over ... ***** ... !!!!!    
And Watched By ... " HIM " ... !!!!!    
Who's Sitting Waiting .....................................................

Now THAT To Me Is ... RADICAL ... !!!!!    
But Seems To Be ... " Acceptable " ... !!!

CORRUPTION And The Lies They FEED ... !!!!!    
      
NEVER MIND The Men They BEAT On Streets ... !!!!!    
Then Cop A Plea of ... " NOT GUILTY " ... !!!!!    
      
THESE Are Things Requiring SPEECH ... !!!!!    
Life SHOULD BE In Poetry ... !!!!!!!    
      
REALITY ... or FANTASY  ...    
My Wordplay REJECTS ...    
      
..... FALLACIES ..... !!!!!    
      
But Talks About ...    
      
Humanity ... Tragedies ...    
Profanities And YES The Things That ...    
      
.... " ANGER ME " .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    
      
But Don't You See ... ?    
      
My Poetry Is NOT ABOUT Me ... !!!    
      
It's Looking For A Place Where WE ...    
CAN All Be FREE And Live In ... " PEACE " ... !!!    
      
Of  Course ... THAT'S IT ...      
I've Been SO THICK ... !!!!!!!!    
      
It's NOT ABOUT These DUMB RACISTS ...      
      
... " Divide and Conquer " ... !!!    
....... THAT'S The TRICK ....... !!!!!    
      
I'd Be A STAR ...    
If I Spoke of CASH And FLASHY Cars ...      
And ROBBING HOUSES With CROWBARS ... !!!!!      
      
I Guess THIS WAR Will NOT BE WON ... ?!?    
Because of Those Who Are The Ones'  ... !!!!!
