By ... Playing The Game of ...  
    
"I'll comply, with anything and everything !  
Please just ensure that I get through doors,  
that make sure that, I won't be poor !"

Are Used Just Like ... " Recycling Bins " ... !!!!!  
    
TOO MANY To Name Who ... " Play The Game " ...    
Just For GLAMOUR GLITZ And FAME ... !!!!!  
    
OR As Some Say ... Just To Get Paid ... !!!!!

Where Cash Becomes The Thing We Love ...    
    
"If I had cash, i'd **** my ride !"  
    
"If I had her cash, i'd party all night !"  
    
Ask Yourself THIS Do You Want THAT Life ... ?!?  
Where Some Will Want To TAKE ...    
EVERYTHING In Your Place And ENVY You ... !!!!!

CHOICES You Make May Well ... DICTATE ...  
How Happy You Are In Your ... " FINAL DAYS " ...    
    
Money CAN'T SAVE YOU From YOURSELF ... !!!!!!!!!  
    
It's A Path Many Choose But DON'T Be FOOLED ... !!!!  
Money WON'T Make People ... LIKE YOU ... !!!  
    
It's How You LIVE And The Things You DO ...    
That In The End WILL ..... DEFINE YOU ..... !!!!!  
    
ALL The Money You Make ...    
DOESN'T Make You GREAT ... !!!!!  
    
These Days There's ...    
SO MUCH MORE AT STAKE ... !!!!!    
    
Like Finding LOVE In A World of HATE ... !!!!!  
    
We NEED To FEED Young Brains ...    
As Well As ... " ENTERTAIN " ... !!!!!  
    
And DISPENSE With HATE On The Basis of Race ... !!!!!  
It Seems These Days That My Style of Wordplay ...    
    
ISN'T Deemed To Be Worthy of A Minimum Wage ... ?!?  
    
But That's OKAY ...    
When I Reach Old Age ...    
I'll Be PROUD To Say ... !!!  
    
That I DIDN'T COMPROMISE ... !!!  
My LOVE For THE ART Just To Be A ... " Pop Star "  
Or For RICHES ... Or For FAME ....  
    
There's SO MUCH MORE To This ... !!!!!

...... " Just To Get Paid " ......

"Did he have to use THAT WORD AGAIN !"    
      
"I'm afraid so *****, you know your name !"    
      
It's Such A PAIN ... !!!    
      
The COOLEST Girls Are RARELY Those ...      
Who ROCK Mens' Worlds ... !?!    
      
It Seems We Have OURSELVES To Blame ... ?!?      
      
Most Men Want A ***** Whose Attractive ... !!!    
Who ... Cooks And Cleans And Has A Brain ...      
Then Gets In Bed And Acts ... " INSANE "... !!?!!    
      
CRAZY *** And NOTHING Less ... ?!?    
      
But That's A DREAM We NEED TO FORGET ...    
Because NOBODY Is .... " PERFECT " .... !!!!!!    
And YES Those Words Apply To Men .... !!!!!!    
      
But Ladies If You're ... One of THEM ... !?!    
      
Who Likes To Play Around With Men ...

Do What's RIGHT Just Say ... " GOODBYE " ... !!!    
      
But ... If You Like Him DON'T Deny ... ?!!!?      
Just Be STRAIGHT UP And SPREAD Those Thighs ... !!!!!    
      
Instead of Having ... " Lonely Nights " ...      
Because You Want To ...    
Make Him .......................... Wait ....................    
These Needless Games You Choose To Play ...      
      
May Make Him Think ...      
      
"This triflin' ***** is playing, tricks !    
It's time for me, to make my play,    
with women who, don't act this way !"    
      
And Then Of Course She'll Want To CHASE ... !!!    
Like HUNGRY Hoards Chase Dinner Plates ... !!!!!      
      
What Is It That Makes Girls Do This ... ?!?    
Act Like DIZZY DUMB Blonde Chicks ... !?!    
      
It's Like A DRUG They Can't Refuse To HIT ... !!!!!!    
It's CLEAR This Is The Way of Things ... ?!?    
      
Don't You Think It's Time To Enlist ...      
A More UPLIFTING ... Type of Fix ... !?!      
      
Before We LOSE This Wondrous Gift ...    
of Finding Love And ....... " HAPPINESS " ....... !!!!!    
      
Man And Woman ... Woman And Man ...

Than *****'s Or ... Using Your Hand ... !?!

Womens' Ways If You're A MAN ...

Be CAREFUL Boys ... With Who You Chase ... !!!    
DON'T Let THEM THINK They RULE YOUR **** ... !!!      
      
USE Your Brain DON'T Play Their Game ...      
PULL Their Cards And EXPOSE Their Tricks ... !!!!!    
      
Before You End Up With A ***** ... !!!!!    
Who's CLEARLY GOT SERIOUS PROBLEMS ... !!!!!    
      
IF She Says She's ... INDEPENDENT ... !!!    
And CLAIMS .... "She doesn't need a man !" ...    
      
It's Likely That She's ...........................    
      
......... " One of THEM " .............

Sometimes I Write Right Through The Night ... !!!    
Until SUNLIGHT ... Retires My Mind ...  
    
I Guess The Darkness Suits My Rhymes ... ?    
And The Times I Like To Write ...      
    
I Guess That's Why My Wordplay RILES ... !!!    
Because Most FEAR The ... "Cover of NIGHT" ... !!!    
    
But Without The Dark Intertwined With The Light  ...    
We'd Have A Pretty ... BORING LIFE ...    
    
Thus When I Write My Pen IGNITES ... !!!!!    
And Sometimes Gives People A FRIGHT ... !!!!!!!    
    
My Writing Style's A DIFFERENT Type ... !!!    
And Has SO MANY Word Designs ... !!!    
    
You Could Say PLENTY ... ALWAYS RIPE ...    
Awaiting The Return of ... THOSE Jedi ... !!!!!    
    
My Views Are Shrewd Like ... " Mace Windu " ... !!!    
    
And Write With The FORCE So My Saber ENSURES ... !!!  
That The Emperor's Coup Is Thrown ...... OFF Course ..... !!!!!    
    
When I Write It's CLEAR That ... " I " ...    
REFUSE To Abide To The ... DARK SIDE ... !!!!!  
    
Because I Am A ... GOOD JEDI  ... !!!!!    
    
But Jokes Aside My Pen And I ...    
ENJOY The Ride When We Choose To Write ...    
    
ESPECIALLY In ... " The Shroud of Night " ... !!!
    
When I Write Sometimes I Find A Place of ... " Calm " ...    
NO Guns In Palms or Nuclear Arms ... !!!    
    
NO EVIL Thoughts Or False Awards ...    
Or Need To Hear ... Applause Or Cheers ...    
    
NO Visions of Those Who Choose To Ignore ...    
My Use of Prose When My Wordplay SOARS ... !!!!!    
    
WAY ABOVE Their ... " Inane Stuff " ...    
When I Write I Feel GOD Touched ... !!!!!    
    
And See The LIGHT Within My Rhymes ...    
And Nowadays ... CAN'T GET ENOUGH ... !!!!!    
    
ENOUGH of YES This Form of Love ...    
    
Sometimes When I Write ...    
I FEEL My Mum ...........................................................  
  
As If Her Death Has Bred NEW LIFE ...    
Inside My Heart And In My Mind ...    
I Guess That's Why I Love To Write ... !!!!    
    
When I Write ... Our Love Still SHINES ... !!!!!  
    
That's Why The Night Suits Me Just Fine ...    
To Be The Time I Search My Mind ...    
For Written Designs of Simple Prose And Heartfelt Rhymes ... !!!    
    
Rhymes of MANY DIFFERENT Kinds ...    
    
As I Said Before PLENTY ... More and MORE ... !!!    
I Write SO MUCH My Hands Get SORE ... !!!!!    
    
I Write Poetry When People ............ sleep ...........    
And When Most Watch ... TV Repeats ... !!!    
    
I'd Rather Write Than Feed My Eyes ...    
To TV Shows ... That Are A JOKE ... !!!!!    
    
But That's Just ME ...    
My Words Now Paint Pictures I See ...    
    
Pictures of PEACE And UNITY ...    
And Places Where I'd Rather Be ... !!!!!!!!!!    
    
My Words FEED ME ..... " TRANQUILITY " .....    
    
And Help REMOVE My ... " Darker Moods " ...    
    
This Helps Me BREATHE More EASILY .................    
And Helps Me Write This Poetry ...    
    
See When I Write It Sets Me FREE .................................................    
To See Beauty And Find Energies ...    
That Quell The Anger ... DEEP In Me ... !!!    
    
At Times Like This When Writing Scripts ...    
My Use of Words Through Simple Verse ...    
CLEARLY SOOTHES And CALMS My Nerves ...    
As If I'm With ... THAT SPECIAL Girl ... !!!!!    
Who'll LOVE ME In This CRAZY World ... !!!!!    
    
That's What It's Like When I Sit And Write ...    
In The Day ... Or ... Late At Night ...    
    
It's Like The Page ...  
Becomes A Place Where I Feel SAFE ...    
    
A Place WITHOUT ... " Hate " ... !!!    
A Place WITHOUT ... " Rage " ... !!!    
    
A Place Where I Have PEACE of MIND ...    
NO POINTLESS Fights Or WICKED Crimes ... !!!    
    
That's What It's Like When I Sit And Write ...    
No Need To Recite At Open Mic Nights ... !!!    
Or Need To IMPRESS Like SO MANY POETS ...    
At ..... " PRETENTIOUS EVENTS " ..... !!!!!!    
    
NO Disrespect Meant But It's Got To Be Said ... !!!!    
  
GREAT Poets REJECT This NEED For ... " Pretence " ...    
And DON'T Indulge In .... " ARROGANCE " .... !!!    
    
This Simple Piece of Poetic Prose Just Goes To Show ...    
How Much I LOVE To Write This Stuff ... !!!!!!!!!!    
    
I Don't Write Prose To Be WELL KNOWN ... !!!    
    
I Write It Now To CALM Me Down ...    
And For The LOVE ... " How does that sound ? " ...    
    
Well That Sounds Pretty Good To Me ... !!!    
    
I'd Rather Have THAT Than Write For GREED ... !!!    
My Poetry Now ... Means MORE To Me ...    
Than ANY AMOUNT of Cash Money ... !!!!!    
    
It Seems Sometimes Most Now Live Life ...    
For Money Drugs And ... POINTLESS Fights ... ?!?    
I'm Not Sure If That's ... Wrong Or Right ... ?!?    
    
But Poetry NOW ... UPLIFTS My Life ... !!!    
Whether In SUNLIGHT or In ... " The Shroud of Night " ...    
    
It Feels Just Right Now ...  
  
... " When I Write " ... !!!

Now It’s CLEAR That I Am ... " GIFTED " ...
When It Comes To Writing Lyrics ... !!!

Articulated Scriptures ...
That Paint Descriptive Pictures ...
of How It Is We’re Living ...

Ism After ... ISM ...
Corruption and Division ...
That’s Bred By Politicians ...

EVEN ON A Day Like THIS ...

December ... 25th ...

I’m STILL Presenting Gifts ...

Through Written Scripts Like THIS ... !!!

That QUICKLY FLIP ...
DIFFERENT Subjects ... !!!

From Politics To Those Whose Gifts ...
Gave Out Some ... SERIOUS LIKS’ ... !!!!!!

Just Like The GREAT ... “ King Viv “ ... !!!

A Cricketer ... SO GIFTED ... !!!
When It Came To Playing Cricket ...
And PROTECTING ... His Wicket ...
That Bowlers RARELY Hit It ... !!!!!!!!

While Others Like ... USAIN ...
Had Gifts That Made Them Train ...
In Ways That Gained ... " Olympic Fame " ... !!!
TOO Many IN FACT ... For This Poem To Name ... !!!

So Let’s Move On ...
To Gifts That Belong ...
In ... OTHER Realms ...

Like ****** Gifts ...
YES ... BIG OL’ Well ...

You Know What It Is ... Or ... Do You ... ?!?

Do You Know What It Is To Be The One Who GIVES ...
MULTIPLE ... ******* Rides ... !!!?!!!

Well I’m ... One of THOSE GUYS ... !!!!!
My Ex and I ... ENJOYED Those Nights ....
Where She Would Be Riding Just Like ...
Those Guys With Gifts To Ride Motorbikes ...

In Ways That THRILLED When She Got FILLED ...
With MUCH MORE Than The ... AVERAGE Man ...
And YES That’s FACT So ... DON’T Doubt That ... !!!!!!!

Such Gifts Are COOL But Now I’m Fuelled ...
To Use My Gifts To ... EXPLAIN Things ...

As I Said At The Start I Now Use My ARM ...
To ARTICULATE Visions of How We’re Now Living ...

So Gifts of THIS TYPE ...
Tend To CHALLENGE The Minds ...
of Those Who Are ...................................................... “ Sly “ ...

Because of The Gift That ... REALITY Brings ... !!!
A Bite That DEFIES The Spreading of LIES ... !!!

But One That Bears Witness ...
To TRUTH And LESS Sinning ... !!!

So ... As I Now End ...
I’m Back To The Beginning ... !!!

I Articulate Scriptures ...
That Paint Descriptive Pictures ...
of How It Is ... " We’re Living " ...

Because It’s ... CLEAR ...
When It Comes To Writing Lyrics ...

That I Am One ... Who’s ...

.......... “ GIFTED “ ..........

Is Poetry ... DEAD ... !?!

Well ...
NOT According To CERTAIN Heads ... !!!

Now Let's Get This Straight If That's The Case ... ?
Why On Earth Would The BBC Do A ... " Two Minute Piece " ...
To INVESTIGATE If Poetry's Dead In Todays' New Age ... ?!?!?

I Think In Truth It's Fair To Say Poetry's On The Wane ...
Cos' Controversial Names Are .... Swept AWAY ..........................
And NOT ALLOWED To ... State Their Case ...

Those Who UPSET And Are DIRECT .... !!!
And Choose To REJECT ............. "CONFORMIST Sects" ... !!!

Are ............................................. Ostracised ........
For Words They Write And Then Recite .... !?!

Hosts of Shows Now FLAUNT EGOS ... !!!
And CLAIM To KNOW ... What's GOOD TO GO ... !!!

But Use Tactics And Subtle Tricks ....
To Keep Poetry That's Contemporary ...
AWAY From Those ... It NEEDS TO Reach ... !!!!!

Places Like ... " The BBC " ...
Universities ... And SKY TV ...

They Choose To Feed Prose That's FUNNY ...
And Does NOT Fuel ... " CONTROVERSY " ...

Or Of Course Some ... " OLD WRINKLY " ...
To Recite Words ... REPEATEDLY Heard ... !!!!!
They Seem To Be The ... " Bourgeoisie " ... ???

They LOVE Their ... " CLASSIC Poetry ... !!!
And Follow The .... " CONTEMPORARY " ....

But ONLY When The Words SUIT THEM ... !!!
And DO NOT Question ... THEM or Their FRIENDS ... !!!

...... " Is Poetry Dead ? " ......

Well ... Book Sales Are DOWN ...
SPOKEN WORD Is Now The TREND ... !!!

But Once Again ...
The Words You Say Should ... " ENTERTAIN " ... !!!

NOT FEED Young brains ... !!!

If You Choose To Speak of PAIN ...
You're Treated Like You Are INSANE ... !!!!!

Poets ... Past And Present YES ... !!!!!
Have Always Had To STAND AGAINST ...

... "Poetry Sects" ... And Governments ... !!! ...
Who CLAIM To PROTECT The ... " Right To EXPRESS " ...

But RARELY Accept Poets Who Stress ...
Political Views Or Their OWN Concepts ... !!!!!

... " Freedom to Express !!! " ...

....... " Is Poetry Dead ? " ........

I Hate To UPSET ...
But My Answer Is ... YES ... !!!

It's EGO Lead And FULL of PRETENCE ... !!!

Controlled By INSECTS ...
Who PICK And CHOOSE And YES SELECT ...
Their SELECT Few Those Who'd NEVER Step On Shoes ... !!!

If They OPEN Doors To Rooms ...
Where Words They Use Could Be Consumed ...
By Those Likely ... To Share THEIR Views ...

..... " Is Poetry Dead ? " ......

I'm A Bit Confused ... ?!?
Rap Is SELLING ...  In VOLUMES ... !!!!!

Isn't Poetry ... RAP ... ?

"Not quite old chap !
The words they rhyme,
can't be defined, as poetry !
Are you out of your mind !"

I Guess That's Why They Reject Mine ... ?
Those Who Run These Poetry Nights ...
That CLAIM To Have Contemporary Styles ...
Like Spoken Word ... "Okay, that's fine !" ...

... SPOKEN WORD ...  ?

But, isn't that rap, without music, or a backing track ?
Surely sir, you must concur, or is your vision slightly blurred ?
You choose to see your poetry, as something fit for society ?
But music and it's industry, promote Rap Rhymes,
about lives of crime, while emcees who are more inclined,
to use their rhymes and use their minds,
for Spoken Words of this here kind,
are suitably kept amongst poetry's dead !

Those Who Organise These Poetry Nights
Have ..... SELECTIVE Sight ..... !!!
Both Black and White CHOOSE To Act Blind ... !?!

Well Times Ahead May Well Affect ...
What The Young And Old Choose To Collect ...
For Words That Nurse Their ACHING Heads ... !!!!!

Publishers Will Change Their Tune ...
And Start To Move With Those Who Use ...
This Thing Called Prose When It's Message SWEETLY Flows ...

And Reflects On ... Life's HIGHS And Lows ...
And Shows People How They Can GROW ... !!!

Well That's MY Hope We'll See How It Goes ...
Because CENSORSHIP Is A Growing FOE ... !!!!

As Are Those Who CLAIM To KNOW ...
Where Poetry's At But KEEP Doors CLOSED.

TRUST Me Folks That Is NO JOKE ... !!!
The Record's Playing But The Needle Is BROKE ... !!!!!

We NEED A Fix of Better Scripts ... !!!!!!
From Rappers And Todays' Poets ... !!!

It's Time To FEED Those Now MISLED
And Put This Question ... Back To Bed .....

The Question Is This ...

........ " Is Poetry DEAD ? " .........

Censor Him CENSOR HIM … !!!!
  
He's Sounding Like A TERRORIST … !!!!!
  
"Why, because I use my mind,
when writing rhymes and poetry scripts ?"
  
Has The World Now Come To THIS … ?!!!?
Or … Is This How It's ALWAYS BEEN … !!?!!
  
By This I Mean … Invisible Teams Who Now Walk Streets …
And YES You've Guessed ... Are The CENSORSHIP Police … !!!
  
"Excuse me sir, you can't do that !"
  
"Listen man, you need to relax !
You can't censor me, for having a crap !"
  
"Keep quiet sir, don't answer back !
What's that resting on your lap ?"
  
"You told me not to answer back ?
So now my lips are gonna stay zipped !
Eh, What are you doing with my **** ?
I'm not that way, keep your hands in your pockets !"
  
"Put your hands behind your back !
We're arresting you, and that is that !"
  
"Why, because you didn't get a lick !"
  
"For being homophobic, and for too much lip !"
  
So What's The Role of … " Censorship " … ?
  
Is it MIND CONTROL To MOULD LOST Souls … ?
The Truth Is Folks ... I Just DON'T KNOW … !?!
  
That's Why My Quotes Now Employ JOKES … !!!!!!!
  
NOT TO OFFEND But To Suggest ...
Our Freedom Fight May NEVER End … !?!
  
"We've heard about you, aren't you, Big Virge ?
The words you use, we've long observed,
and now young man, are gonna be curbed !"
  
"Don't be absurd, they're only words !"
  
"Oh, haven't you heard ?
We can confirm, due to your scripts,
you're suspected of being a terrorist !
You speak on that, and speak on, this,
and, have a lot of hair, so, must be a Muslim !"
  
"So, you must be, New Age Racists !
Don't you people, ever quit !!!
I may be black, but, trust me man !
I want unity, for all humans !"
  
"Sorry son, we've CENSORED that !"  
  
"I'm saying though man,
now you sound like Uncle Sam,
or, Uncle George, who's now adored ?
but, just before I wage that war,
How far can I go, Guantanamo ?
Now, hold on bro, that was just a joke !
OH NO OH NO, i'm such a dope !"
  
"Here you go sir !
Ball, chain and rope, bend over sir !"
  
"But, I don't want soap !"
  
"You'll do as you're told, or pay a toll !"
  
"PLEASE DON'T OH NO !
Should of kept my quotes, stuck in my throat !"
  
"Open up son, and now lick this !"
  
"The only things I lick are ******* and ***** !
Oh, me and my lips, need to keep them zipped,
before I face, more censorship !"
  
"Excuse me Virge, that's not quite it !
They now want to censor, how you think !"
  
"You're NOT SERIOUS, that's ridiculous !
Has it come to this, I need a drink !"
  
DON'T THINK About THAT !!!
DON'T THINK About THIS !!!
From Now On Kids …
DON'T THINK Or Write Scripts !!!
  
No Wonder They've Been Clone Testing … ???
Out There In The …. " OUTER RIM " …. !!!!!
  
Well This AIN'T … " Star Wars " … !!!
And That's For SURE … !!!
  
ACTUALLY It Might Just Be … ?
The EMPIRE's Running The … " Poetry Scene " … !!!
  
Darkness Shrouds … " Freedom of Speech " … !!!
  
"I cannot face my destiny !"
  
"Virge, my son, you are The One !
You must face those, censoring your stuff !"
  
"But, Yoda please, what do you mean ?"
  
"Those who keep, your prose unseen !"
  
"But they ignore me, almost every week
and did this when, they had the attention of the BBC !"
  
"Your time will come !
You cannot run from poetry !
because it is, Your DESTINY !"
  
"How can this be when being FREE,
is a fallacy, and nothing more than a pipe dream !"
  
Well …
  
Those Before Me Have Faced These Tests …
And Tried Their Best ... Time And AGAIN … !!!!!
  
I Hope Like Them I've Been God Blessed …  
Because This Time Round What NOW Surrounds ...
May Well PRESENT … Humanity's END ... !!!!!!
  
Once Again We Fight For Civil Rights … ?!?
And FREEDOM To SPEAK On ... Whatever WE LIKE … !!!
  
EVEN AT An ... " OPEN Mic " … ?!?

Somehow That ... Does NOT Seem Right … ?
  
Well TRUST In This ... I'll NEVER QUIT …
Even If ... My Lips Are ZIPPED … !!!!!
  
I'll Use My Pen And Write Poems …
And Use My Scripts …
  
To ... FIGHT AGAINST ...
  
... " CENSORSHIP  " … !!!!!

I'm ... " Back On Track " ...
DESPITE The Fact ...
That Some Believe I'm NOT ... " The Man " ... !?!

THE MAN With Words To FEED The HERDS ...
So I Think It's Time We Looked At THAT ... !!!

Could It Be Because They THINK It's RAP ... ?
Or Could It Be ... Because I'm BLACK ... !?!

Surely NOT ... !!!
SUCH Racist Plots Are CLEARLY WRONG ...
And Nowadays DO NOT ... Belong ... !!!!!

So THEY ... " SAY " ... !?!

Our Heads of State ...
And THOSE Who Run Poetry Functions ... ?!?

I KEEP Hearing The SAME OLD Thing ... !!!

"Read at Poetry Slams, see if you can win !"

WHY ...
When MOST Are Probably ... " RIGGED " ... !!!

Like MOST Competitions The WINNER .... " is " ....
RARELY The One Who SHOULD Get PICKED ... !!?!!

TRUST Me On This They're Mostly Fixed ...
I DON'T Write To WIN A ... " Prize " ... !!!

I Write To TRY To FEED Young Minds ... !!!
So They CAN SEE THROUGH Modern LIES ...
And THOSE Who Try To KEEP THEM ... "blind" ... !!!

But The PROBLEM IS ...
To Get To The .................................................................­....... Kids .........

You NEED To Write Things That DO NOT Link ...
Your Train of Thought To ... POLITICS ... !!!

Poets Now Face ... " Censorship " ...

DON'T Be ... RACIST ... !!!
DON'T Be ... A TERRORIST ... !!!!
And TOP of The List ...

DON'T SPEAK ... If ...
You Are ... HOMOPHOBIC ... !!!!!!

So That's Their Game ...
I CAN'T Get In Because I'm NOT Gay ... !?!

Is it Now A CRIME ...
For A Man To Be STRAIGHT ... ?!!!?

Now It WOULDN'T BE FAIR To DISCRIMINATE .... !!!!!!!
On The Basis of My ... STRAIGHT *** Ways ... !?!?!

Okay OKAY That's A Lil' .................. FAR Fetched .............
But COWBOY Gays ... WHATEVER Next ... ?!?!?

My Poetry Flows ...
And I've Been Told By Those Who Run Shows ...

"My poetry scrolls are good to go !"

"It's a little bit long, and is quite strong, but is quite good."

"So what's stopping you, from putting my prose
on public view, what's your excuse ?"

"There's a waiting list !"

"Waiting for what !"

"A waiting list, to get a stage spot."

"You people are worse than the NHS !
More excuses than beds, will I get respect, when I am dead ?"

I'm NOT Happy With THAT ... !!!

So AM Back On Track And WON'T Give Up ...
Til' I'm Earning CASH For Reciting FACTS ... !!!!!

I'm Feeling REFRESHED ...
And Ready And WILLING To FACE Your Tests ...

DISRESPECT ... And ALL The Rest ... !!!!!

While You SNAKES KEEP Cashing Cheques ... !!!
The PEOPLE NEED Me But DON'T Know It YET ... !!!

Because of YES THESE ... "Poetry Sects" ...
Who USE Black Poets CAUGHT IN ... "Their Web" ... !!!

Who STAND Alongside George Bush Type Whites ... !?!
Well They May Find They'll NEED My Rhymes ...
When THEIR OWNERS Decide To END Their Ride ... !!!

So If You Didn't Know BEFORE ...
NOW YOU KNOW The Score ... !!!!!

I'm A STAND ALONE Guy ...
Who ISN'T AFRAID To Speak MY MIND ... !!!!!

So WHO In The END ...
Makes Doors OPEN Are They ... " ALIENS " ... ?!?

Like SOMEONE Said ... " THAT Is The Question ? "

Resistance Is FUTILE But It's Time For ACTION ... !!!
Because Things RIGHT NOW Are Far From ................................................ FUN ... !!!!!

So Where EXACTLY Should I GO To Be ... EXPOSED ... ?
And Become WELL KNOWN I Hope It's NOT The ... " Twilight Zone " ... !!!!!

"Listen up mate, try far away !

Man This AIN'T ... " Star Wars " ... !!!!!!!
But Like James Dean I Guess I'm A REBEL WITHOUT A ....... Cause.

That's Just A Clue As To How I'm Viewed ...
My FREEDOM of THOUGHT Seems To Be AN ISSUE ... !?!

"His poetry is a little bit free !
A little too free for the BBC !"

CENSORSHIP of Speech Has ALWAYS Been ...
Right Alongside Civil Liberties ...

ESPECIALLY ... For THOSE Like ME ... !!!!!

" DON'T Talk About THIS ... !!!
DON'T Talk About THAT ... !!! "

Attitudes Like THIS ...
May Leave Us ... "TRAPPED" ... ?!?

REMEMBER Folks PLEASE ... " Mind The GAP " ... !!!

Poetry Cliques Will ALWAYS Be AFRAID of Poets Like Me ...
A TRULY RARE Breed Who Want To Be FREE .....................................
From CONFORMITY And ... PROCESSED Speech ... !!!

Well As ALWAYS It's Fair To Say ...
Words From My Head That Reach ... My Pen ...
WILL Cause OFFENCE To ... "Poetry Sects" ...

And That's Why ... ME ...
They WON'T ............................................................... Accept ...............

"Retract those facts,
or Virge your words will not be heard !
You're far too smart to be so black !"

Well What A SURPRISE ...
We're Back To THAT ... !!!

I'm Sorry Folks ...
These Days I Feel It's ALL A Joke ...

Why Try To CRAMP The Man I AM ... ?!?
Or CENSOR Things On My Notepads ... ?

There's CLEARLY ... " A Few " ...
Who ... DON'T Want That ... !!!

Let People SPEAK Before Things ... COLLAPSE ... !!!!!

So That Poetry And FREEDOM of SPEECH ...
Can STILL Be FREE .............................................

And Just Like Me ... Be .....

..... " Back On Track " .....

It's HARD These Days To Fight ... " The Good fight " ... !!!
When So MANY Things Are Kept From ... "Sight" ... !!!!!
    
Laws Now Applied Are Well Defined ... !!!    
If You're Not of A ... " CERTAIN Type " ...    
You're Deemed To .... " INCITE  " .... !!!    
    
If You Speak Your Mind About Social Crimes ...    
UNLESS You're of The ... Government Type ...    
    
The Spread of Lies Is Now Disguised ...    
Behind People Just Like ... " Condoleeza Rice " ...

Double Standards Now Are OH SO Foul ...    
Like Fighting Wars In FOREIGN Towns ...    
While People AT HOME Are Left To Drown ... !!?!!    
    
New Orleans Will Wear THAT CROWN ...    
For Many Years While The Homeless FROWN ...

Their Collars' Felt And Return ... SOURED ... !!!    
    
So Listen Up Folks Here Comes The Quote ... !!!  
    
"Are you going to make more Political Films ?" ...    
    
Was A Question Asked By One Whose Task ...    
Is To Stop Terrorists Who Are ... " Muslims " ... !!!    
    
A Representative of The Group ... " Reprieve " ...    
Whose Work Includes .... " Civil Liberties " ...    
Expressed OUTRAGE And DISBELIEF ... !!!

Whether Film or Play You've Got To Watch The Things You Say ... !!!    
      
But It's Now Okay ...    
To Make Films About ... " Gays " ...    
    
COWBOY Gays ...    
" I say I say what like John Wayne ... !!! "  
    
FUNNY That ...  
Wasn't Always That Way ... !?!    
    
Now They Fight ... " The Good Fight " ... !!!  
Will Police Frisk THEM And Ask Questions ... ?!?!?    
    
"Sir, I think not !"    
    
"No, what's the problem ?    
I'm sure they'd find a use for those BIG TRUNCHEONS !!!    
Males who are gay, could be terrorist men ?"    
    
It's Now ... CLEAR To Me ...  
We've ... NEVER BEEN FREE ... !!!    
    
But Come Now PLEASE ... !!!    
NO Freedom To Speak ... !?!    
Or Talk About The Things We See ... !?!    
    
NOT Free To Protest Whatever Next ... !?!    
    
Now They Want To Give Pills That May Just **** ... !?!    
    
Apparently ... Pills Such As These ...    
Will Help Us Live On ... " TWO Hours Sleep " ... !!!    
    
Now That's CRAZY ... !!!  
There's Said To Be A NEED In Todays' Society ... ?!?    
    
Are They NOT Happy ...    
With ******* Speed And Ecstasy ... ??!??    
    
NO Freedom To Sleep ...

Work Til' You DROP What's Going On ... !!! ? !!!    
    
NO Time For Your Kids ...    
NO Time To Conceive ...    
Conception May Become ...    
An ... " E Bay Bid " ... !!!!!    
    
"Internet ***** !!!    
Next Day Delivery !!!    
***** from a Hunk !!!    
Pregnancy Guaranteed !!!"  
    
Don't Know About You ... ?    
But That's NOT FOR ME ... !!!    
    
Can This Possibly Be Our DESTINY ... !?!    
    
My Light Sabre Technique NEEDS A New Regime ... !!!!!    
Where's OB1 Kenobi ... " Beam Me Up Scotty ! " ...  
    
That's ALL A Pipe Dream ...    
But REALITY BITES ... !!!!!!    
    
And It's HARD Nowadays ...    
To FIGHT ...    
    
....  " The Good Fight " ....

Why Let Your Brain Go Down The Drain ... ?!?
Why Be Like THAT Babe PLEASE Explain ... !!!

Try CHANGING Lanes ...
DEAL With ... " Your Pain " ... !!!

DON'T Shy Away ............... From The Light of Day ... !!!
Reality ... SWAYS In MANY Ways ...

Girls LOVING Girls Marriage For Gays ... !?!

Well Where I Lay PROVES How I SWAY ...
Women ALL DAY That's Just My Way ...

As Long As They're **** And Have A BRAIN ... !!!

The Female Touch Is What I LOVE ... !!!
As Long As Coc' Is NOT Her Drug ... !!!!!

Ladies Who Are ... " Elderly " ...
Are Those Who Get RESPECT From Me ... !!!!

Otherwise I VET ... Ladies I'd Like To Take To Bed ...
Because MOST Now Have Such MESSED UP Heads ... !!!

MOST Now Seem To Be ... BRAINDEAD ... !!!
And DON'T DESERVE To Hear NICE WORDS ... !!!

What A Shame ... What A Shame ... !!!

We're In A Maze ...
To The Point Where Some ...
Will Now ... " Speed Date " ... !?!

I'm SAYING ... !!!

Is This Now The Way ...
To Find Yourself ... Your TRUE Soulmate ... ?!?

FIVE Minutes ... HERE ...
FIVE Minutes ... THERE ...

A Soulmate FOUND For Fifty Pounds ... !?!
You May Just BUY Yourself A CLOWN ... !!!
Whose Mind You May FIND May NOT Be Sound ... !!!

Is This REALLY The Cure I'm Just NOT Sure ... ?!?
Aren't There BETTER Ways To Try And ALLURE ... ?!?

A Partner For ... LOVE ...
WITHOUT Having To Trust To THIS Sort of STUFF ... !?!

Of Course Sometimes It's Just ... Pure LUCK ...
But Dating This Way Has Now Run A Muck ... !!!

MEETING Up ... " Inside Chat Rooms " ... ?!?

DON'T Know About YOU But I ... REFUSE ... !!!
You DON'T Know Who You're Talking To ... !?!

That's Why Some Kids Are Being ... " GROOMED " ... !!!
By Those Who USE These Rooms To ABUSE ... !!!

Relationships Are HARD Right Now ...
When Women Play The Game ... SO FOUL ... !!!

Let's NOT Argue You KNOW It's TRUE ...
Men Do It TOO Don't Get It Confused ... !!!

I'm A Man Who LOVES Woman ... !!!

But ...
Am NOT AFRAID To Talk About Them ...
And ... All Their Scams ... !!!

As A Friend Said to me ...

" There's ONLY ONE LOVE ! " ...

From A Dad To HIS SON ...
Or A Daughter To HER MUM ...

UNCONDITIONAL Love YES That's THE ONE ... !!!!!!

NOT Love That Comes From ****** Hugs ... !!!
Let's Make It PLAIN That's NOT Enough ... !!!

SOME Girls Give Love Just To SCORE Drugs ...

That's LOVE To Them ...
Their Love Is ... DUD ...
So Let's ... TRY AGAIN ... !!!

SOME Women Give Love To ...
... "TRAP A MAN" ... !!!!!

"I'm pregnant ***' !"

"**** I've Been Stung !
Should of known when you saw I was getting some cash,
putting **** things on, and being so bad !
The *** we had, was all an act,
quick pregnancy, was the trap you planned !"

SEE ... That's The Stuff That Makes Things TOUGH ... !!!
Women Putting CONDITIONS On What They Call ... LOVE ... !!!

"If I get pregnant, I may not abort !"

"That's up to you, but remember, i'm poor !
Raising children now, is no fun for sure !"

But LATER On In Bed We're Having *** ... ?
And When She Starts To Get Wet From Head ...
She Offers To STOP To Put Stockings On Her Legs ... ?!?

Now CLEARLY THIS Is ONE That NEEDS Some Thought ... !!!
If I Wear A ****** She'll THINK Something's WRONG ... !?!

But I DON'T Want Kids So I'd BETTER Think QUICK ... !!!
Cos' I STIIL Wanna Spread Those JUICY LIPS ... !!!!!

"What About The Pill ?"

"Well i've had my fill !
Every time I do, and we've had an issue,
you say we're through, as soon as we argue !"

She's RIGHT That's TRUE ... !!!

Got To Make The RIGHT MOVE ...
And It NEEDS To Be ... " Shrewd " ... !!!

"A vasectomy, I do believe, will ease tension and give relief !"

"Why rush into that, I don't agree !"

WORDS Such As THESE Breed JEOPARDY ... !!!

Is She Feeling ... " Broody " ... ?
Does She Want A ... " Baby " ... ?
Am I Going ... " CRAZY " ... ?

She's Been EVER So NICE ...
... ESPECIALLY Lately ... !?!

SEE .....
These Are The GAMES Women LOVE To Play ...
Just To Get YES ... Their OWN WAY Nowadays ... !!!

It's NOT Just Them We're BOTH To Blame ... !!!

When CONDITIONAL Love is The ... " Name of The Game " ...
For MONEY Or DRUGS ... Or A Child With His Name ...
So That Mummy Can KEEP Daddy IN ... " The Frame " ...

What's Left To Say But ....

" What A Shame What A SHAME ! "
