already we're feeling its nearing
summer's heat will be so searing*
the scorch being hotter than hell's fire
of which we'll not have a desire

our frames limp from devil rays
beating down in tinder like affrays
where the sun's cooking won't expire
long days of uncomfortable ire

how we'll enjoy a breeze cool
coming to suppress the flame's  sool
it will be so nice of transpire
as we close on the warmer shire

already we're feeling its nearing
*as we close on the warmer shire
Yenson Aug 2019
If after a certain age
you cannot be your own counsel
forget everything and go become a Socialist
they do a good line in regurgitating Bullshite

With mixed up minds
and ideology of hate and envy
Devils Advocates on temporary release from the madhouses
they say politics is spin and opposing sanity is power

The boring tonton Macoute
fantasists and deluded failures in hidden affrays
no rhyme or logic, the demagogues of the brainless and losers
paranoid semi-illiterates pontificating on their superiors affairs

What the blind butler saw meets what life below stairs reakons
as they drain the remaining drops of champagne flutes they ferry
in silver trays back to the scullery
and in that familiar Valhalla, they are gods who rule the world

So Now It Seems FAIR To Say...
That People These Days...

... REALLY DO AMAZE... !!!

From Their VIOLENT Displays...
To The Things That Some Say...
To How They Then Behave... !?!

Some Are Acting INSANE... ?!?
And Being... INHUMANE... !?!

As If ABEL Is The Name...
of Their Brothers Today... !?!

The Lines That They Now Toe...
DEMAND Masks Being Shown
... Wherever They Now Go... ?!?

Cos’ It’s A CRAZY Time...
To Now Be... ALIVE... !?!

... Corona Vibes...
And Protests Designed...
To I Guess... AMAZE...

By... Causing AFFRAYS...
ALL Over The Place... !!!

As Fires... BLAZE...
Throughout Nights And Days... !!!

Where What We Now See...
Is People Acting CRAZILY... !!!

Like CONFRONTING Police...
Across WORLDWIDE Streets... !?!

Because They WON’T Stay...
A Few Feet...... AWAY...... ?!?

To PROTECT The WELL BEING...
of... People They're Seeing... !?!

And Of Course Now RACE...
Has Caused A Level of SHAME...
For These WESTERN States...

Well Actually Countries...
NOW MAKING Apologies... !!!

For The.....
Way That They’ve Indulged...
In Using... SLAVERY...
Throughout Their Histories...

To Make Themselves Wealthy...
And Leave Blacks In Poverty...

UNLESS They Were Willing...
To... COMPLY With SINNING...
For Them To Be GRINNING...

While Slaves Received WHIPPINGS...... !?!?!

... I MEAN...
The Claims That Some Make...
REALLY DO... AMAZE... !!!

About The Things That They Produce...
That Are... BETTER Than Good... !!!

That … NEVER EVER Get...
To The Places That They Should...
Where Their AMAZING CLAIMS...
Can Actually Be PROVED... ?!?

People... ALSO AMAZE... !?!
With The Plans That They COOK...
When They’re Shook Like Crooks...
With... CORRUPTED Books...

Where Money Is Found...
That Surrounds DARK CLOUDS... !!!

Cos’ In The World Right NOW...
People REALLY Act... FOUL... !!!

Walking Round With SCOWLS...
Throwing... ***** TOWELS...
At These Government Clowns...
Who... AMAZE With HOW... ?!?

They’re Now Treating Crowds...
Who Are Shouting OUT LOUD... !!!

They’ve Just Called The FEDS’ Out... !?!
To Now CONTROL TOWNS...
With... THOSE Gun Sounds... !!!

And Are REJECTING Calls...
For Some HONEST Talk... !!!

Which DOESN’T Amaze...
Because HONEST Folk KNOW... !!!
They’ve Got Tongues Like FORKS... !!!

So What DOES AMAZE... !!!
Is The Talk That They Court...
About... What IS FAKE...
In The News These Days... ?!?

It’s A... CRYING SHAME... !!!
To Now See The Type of Games...
That Are... Being PLAYED...
That DON’T Make The Grade...
of Just Being... HUMANE... !!!!!

Which May Be A Phrase... ?
That’s Seen It’s LAST DAYS... !!!

Because of The RAGE... !!!
That’s Become A New CRAZE...

Or... HAS IT... ???
Because When We REVISIT...
What... The PAST EXHIBITS...

... IS...
White SUPREMACISTS...
Perpetrating... SINS...

That Were WORSE Than Those...
That Are NOW ON SHOW... !!!

And On THAT NOTE...
It’s Time For Me To GO...
And Bring This Piece To It's CLOSE...

Because What’s Been SHOWN...
Is The... Type of Show...
Where EXPLETIVES Should Roam... !!!

Ya Know It Really Is A Shame...
To See The World Today...
And How People Now Behave...

Like... Modern Day CAINS... !?!

Whose Displays These Days...
Are TRULY... INHUMANE... !!!

Because In ALL HONESTY...
I Feel COMPELLED To Say...

That.....

“They Really Do AMAZE”... !!!
People these days, in my honest view, REALLY now do...
Big Virge Aug 2020
YES ... I Declare WAR ... !!!!!

On Those Whose Cause ...
Is ... YAPPING Jaws ... !!!

YAPPING This ...
And YAPPING That ... !?!

... DISTORTING Facts ... !!!

I'm Saying Man .....
It's Time To QUIT Or Face Lyrics ...
That DECLARE WAR ...
On Those With FLAWS ... !!!

Those With Consciences That GNAW ..........
Away At Them Like Rats On Boards ... !!!!!
Because Their Flaws Are ABOVE The Norm ...

NOT ... Sewer Rats ...
But Rats Whose Views ...
FILL UP Boardrooms ...
That SUPPORT Banks ...
Who ... SCAM For Cash ... !!!

It's Clearly Time To Speak My Mind ...
Through ... Use of Rhyme ...
To Wage A War On THEM For SURE ... !!!

No Time These Days For Making Hay ... !!!
I'm Making Waves With My Wordplay ...

It's Now TOO LATE To Make Dub Plates ... !!!
That Will Rotate And ... Get You PAID ...
The Games Now Changed And Re-Arranged ...

If You CAN'T Play LIVE ...
You ... WON'T Survive ... !!!

Where's The underground NOW ... !??
In ... IRAQI Towns ... !?!
Where It's CLEAR Gun Sounds ...
Make Some ... GET DOWN ... !!!

... Get DOWN REAL FAST ... !!!

WITHOUT James Brown ...
And WITHOUT ... " Nas " ... !?!

It's A DIFFERENT Brown ...
That Gordon Clown ... !!!
Who's Leaving FROWNS ...
NOT Beats That POUND ... !!!

The Beats Are Those ...
That BRUISE Young Mouths ... !!!
By Soldiers ... COLD ... !!!
From Foreign Folds ...

U.S. ... U.K. ....
And Those That PLAY ...
NEW AGE War Games ...
While People ... " PRAY " ... !!!

PRAY For ... " PEACE " ... !!!
And LESS Affrays And FOOD To Eat ... !!!

NO MATTER What THEY CLAIM ... !!!

Those Now Sending Men To GRAVES ...
What's The ENDING ... Human PAIN ...
And SUFFERING And RISING Hate ... !?!

While ... Heads of State ...
FILL UP Their Plates ...
With CASH NOT Food ...
And Oil That's CRUDE ...

I'm Waging WAR As Prices SOAR ...
Because The POOR CAN'T Eat No More ... !!!

This LACK of Humanity's ...
FUELLING ... "INSANITY" ... !!!!!

Like Trav' My FIRE'S Getting HIGHER ...
NO Spenser For Hire Or ... TAXI DRIVER ... !!!

But I May Well FLIP Just Like Travis Bick' ...
And Pick A DIFFERENT Shovel ...
That Rumbles YES Through Jungles ...
And Starts Creating TROUBLE ...
Because When I Get FICKLE ...
I'll Dig GRAVES Using SICKLES ... !!!!!!

That Wordplay Kinda ... St-umbles ...
Whilst PROVING I Am Humble ...
And READY For THIS WAR ...
With Men Like ... " Uncle George " ... !!!

I'm A Rebel I Guess ... ?!?
... WITHOUT A Pause ...
Because The Cause ...
Is ... STOPPING Laws ...
That Now Get PASSED ...
So ******* FAST ... !!!

That We DON'T Get Reports ...
of ... Changes In The Law ...
Until It's Time To Face The CRIME ... !?!

"Sir you've been charged with going too far !
Who on earth do you think you are ?"

"The names Big Virge, you can call me sir !
The connoisseur of spoken words !
It's clear my verse has left you stirred !
Your charge it seems, is fear of speech !
Speech that's pure, whilst waging war,
on government crews, who are paying you !"

So What's A Guy ...
Supposed To Choose ... ?

A Life of ... LIES ...
And PURE ABUSE ... ?!?

Come On Now Dude ... !!!
I'd Rather Ensure That I Wage WAR ...
With Words That Move ...
Like Hip Hop Tunes ...
Some Call ... ******* ... !!!

Well Me I'm RAW And Under Cooked ...
Well That's ... NOT TRUE ... !!!

But You And Your Crew ...
Are ... " COOKING Books " ...
Like ... " Petty CROOKS " ... !!!!!

So Let's Get This CLEAR ...
You're SPREADING FEAR ... !!!

And It Would Seem That You've Achieved ...
Your Goals QUICKLY Through Fallacies ... !!!!
That NOW Have People On Their KNEES ... !!!

ALL This EVIL KEEPS Them WEAK ... !!!
And UNABLE To Speak Like Me ... !!!

Coherently ...
... Articulately ...

NO Cain Or Fable Can Disable ...
POETRY That's Just FREE SPEECH ... !!!
FREEDOM of Thought And SO Much MORE ... !!!
What'd You Think I'm Writing For ... ?!?!?

To Get Applause And FAKE Awards ... !!!

You Must NEED A ... "Shrink" ...
... If THAT's Your THING ... !!!

So Is it PRISON For Me ... ?!?
... Right By The Sea ... !?!
Or A NICE Getaway ...
Hmmm ... Guantanamo Bay ... !!?!!

SIMPLY Because of Words I Say ... !?!
Fair Enough Then Boss Take Me AWAY ... !!!

But There's One More Thing ...
I'd Like To Say .... !!!

If My Skin Was ... WHITE ...
Would It ... Be THAT WAY ... ?!?

Had To Get THAT IN ...
Before My Last Line ... !!!

Your Laws Are CLEARLY ...
........... FLAWED ........... !!!!!!!!

As Is Your ... BOGUS Cause ...
Which is WHY My Words ENFORCE ...
These Words I'll Say ... Once More .....

....... " I Declare WAR " ........
Battle Rap Styled, performance piece, inspired in no small way by the Robert De Niro movie, Taxi Driver ... !!!

'The Rise' ... A Poem written by Big Virge 31/7/2019

Ya Know...
It’s... On The Rise...

... ANGRY Vibes... !!!

Because of The Crimes...
of... Modern Times...

Money Takes Hold...
of The Minds of Those...
Whose Anger CONTROLS...
The Way That They Roll... !!!

Deceit And Lies Are Also Tied...
To Angry Moods...
But That’s Nothing New... !!!

Technological Tools...
Are The New Slide Rule...

When It Comes To How Some...
Let Their Anger Run...

And Of Course...
We Have... " TRUMP "... !!!

A PRESIDENT...
Who’s A... " Twitter **** "... !?!

Now What He DISPLAYS...
Is Anger................ Misplaced...........
That Has... NO SHAME... !!?!!

When It Comes To The Things...
That He Chooses To Say...
About... People of Colour....
That Truly... STING... !!!

The Type of MOTHER... !!!
Who’s Being Called RACIST... !!!!!!

Because of IGNORANCE...
Like That of... Reagan... !!!!!

Racism In Vision...
Is Causing A Few...
To LOSE Their Cool... !!!

But It Seems To Be Whites...
Whose Anger INCITES... !!!

Political Fights And Angers RISE...
To... Darken Nights... !?!

WITHOUT... Bruce Wayne... ?!?

Do You Get What I’m Saying... ?
Anger In Some Is Rising Like Planes...

And Then Turbulence Comes...
So Anger SUSTAINS And Then Creates...
The Kind of Vibes...
That We’re Seeing... TODAY... !!!

People Being Treated...
As If They’re Fair Game... !!!

For... DISRESPECT... ?!?
And Anger Expressed...
In How Many Behave...

Modern Day Slaves...
Now In The Workplace...

No Longer Show Grace...
And RESPECTFUL Ways...

It’s Clear Most Are Getting...
A... PALTRY Wage... !!!

So Now They’re UPSETTING...
And DARKENING Days...
of Customers Getting...
More And MORE IRATE... !!!

... Deliveries LATE... !!!
... Parking Affrays... !!!

The Type of Food...
That Leaves A FOUL Taste... !!!

Like NOT Being Able...
To Get An Exchange...
For A Product That Failed...
Like... Cain Did Abel... !!!

And That’s NO FABLE... !!!
Things Are... UNsTAbLE... !!!

WITHOUT... Clark Gable... !!!!!

So The Winds of Change...
Are Blowing With RAGE... !!!

From Those With Fame...
To Famous Names...
Who Now DISPLAY...

The Type of TANTRUMS...
That Set The STANDARD...
That Many Now Follow...
When They Should Swallow...

The ANGER They HOLD...
And SHOW... SELF CONTROL... !!!

If You DON'T Like Your Job...
Then... STAY At HOME... !!!

Because It’s CLEARLY WRONG... !!!
To... Act Like A ****...
Cos’ You’ve Got PROBLEMS...
That Show You’re NOT Strong... !!!

In Todays’ World... !!!
If You Choose To HURT... !!!

Because of LIES...
Ignorance Or PRIDE...

You NEED To RECOGNISE...
That You Might Be Why...

ANGER's On.......
