Okay The Vibe To Write...
Is Now A Part of My Life...

It’s Just A BEAUTIFUL Thing... !!!

When I Start To Think...
And Start Writing Lyrics...
That QUICKLY Sink...
Into Papers Where Ink...
... Display Wordplay...
That Comes From My Brain...

It’s A Vibe That Invites...
..... REALITY Lines.....

RATHER Than THOSE...
Where Lines of WHITE...
Create Mental DOPES...
Who Embrace That Coc’... !!!

Or Yes... *******...
That They’re QUICK To CLAIM...
Helps To Keep Them STRAIGHT... ?!?

The Vibe When I Write...
INFLAMES MY BRAIN... !!!
With Things To Say...
About The World Today...

From GREATS Like USAIN... !!!
To Things LESS HUMANE...
That Are NOT So Great... !!!

You Know What I’m Saying... ?
Or..... DO YOU..... ?!?

Cos’ The Vibe When I Write...
Is... NOT For Fools... !!!

Who DON’T Use Their Brain Tool...
So..... Is That YOU... ?!?

One Who’s Confused...
When It Comes To What’s TRUE...

Cos’ The Vibe When I Write...
REJECTS Those In DENIAL...

It’s A Style That Profiles...
A Great Deal MORE...
Than... Peoples’ Green Miles... !!!

It Relates To Flicks...
That EXPOSE How We Live...
But Also Deals...
In Things MORE REAL... !!!

Than Things That Are Filmed...
On... 8 Millimetre Reels... !!!

Because Words I Write...
Do Not Promote Lies... !!!

Or... FALLACIES...

The Vibe When I Write...
Is..... REALITY........

So ISN'T Written To Deceive...
Or Make People... ANGRY... !!!

... It Is What It IS....
So... If The Cap Fits...
You’d Better Deal With It... !!!

You See The Vibe When I Write...

ISN'T MOULDED To PLEASE...
Because THAT ISN’T Poetry To Me... !!!

It’s About Being REAL...
And Relating What You See...
In Ways That Display...
TRUTH And HONESTY... !!!

And Reflections On Life...
All It’s Lows And HIGHS... !!!!

And Those Last Lines...
Are The Things That DEFINE...

Why... Whether Day Or Night...
I Continually Find That My Mind’s Eye...
QUICKLY Provides A Mind Like Mine...

With...

... “ The Vibe To Write “...
It's something that now runs very deep within my very being...

Excuses Excuses...
So MANY EXCUSES... !!!

For The Type of Looseness...
That Has Embraced NOOSES... !?!

EXCUSES For THIS...
EXCUSES For THAT...

EXCUSES For Plans...
That Have CORRUPTED Man...

BAD EGGS In The Batch... !!!
Where Policeman Are Hatched... !!!

Oh YES Bad Eggs INDEED... !!!
Is How RACIST Cops Be...
When RACISM Feeds...
Their Motives On Streets...

And In Turn How They Deal...
When They’re Using Their Knees... !!!

And Using Their... GUNS...
Like These Tasers That Stun... !!!

And Choke Holds That DON’T... !!!!!
When They Leave People COLD... !!!

Excuses UNFOLD...
Even When They Are Shown...
To Move... So Much SICKER...
Than Those Known As KILLERS... !!!

Excuses Come QUICKER...
Than Confession Sinners... !!!

Because of Protection...
These Bad Eggs Be Getting...
From Those Who NEED VETTING... !!!
BEFORE They Pass Sentence... !!!!!

These Excuses I Mention...
Are Those With DEFECTIONS... !!!

That Need REAL CORRECTION...
That’s Neutral And... CENTRED... !!!

Like... Natural Selection... !!!

There Are Others That SMOTHER...
...... Historical Blunders...... !!!
Like Those Now UNCOVERED...
About... CERTAIN Brothers...
Who Sold Their Own Mother’s... !?!

For... Colonial Masters...
A... FACTUAL DISASTER...
That’s Been So Well Plastered...
That EXCUSES Run Talk...
That IS STUPID And FLAWED... !!!
When It Comes To The Past...
And YES... Slavery Paths... !!!

You See Some EXCUSES...
Breed... MORE THAN Denial... !!!

They Hold Certain Files...
That Are TRULY OBSCENE...
Within... Black History... !!!

Like Those Now EXPOSED...
About... Certain White Folks...

Who’ve Earned Money For Shows...
With... BLACKFACE Videos...
And RACIST Themed JOKES... !?!

That Are FORCING These Peeps...
To Make... APOLOGIES...

As If They Will CLEAN...
Their Slates With Black Peeps’... ?!?

And Of Course Yes EXCUSES... !!!
For Things They’ve Been Doing...
That Lacked... Racial Prudence...

So Just Like The Others...

These Excuses PROVE LOOSENESS...
Is Something That Humans...
Exude In Their Movements...

And In... CERTAIN CHOICES...
That Have Done MORE Than POISON... !!!

Yes... HUMANITY... !!!

When... ACCOUNTABILITY...
Is What NEEDS To INCREASE... !!!

Because These FALLACIES...
Are What Make Some Heads Feel...
That It’s Best To... "Conceal"...

Themselves Behind LIES...
And... FRAUDULENT Deeds... !!!

And The Need To Keep Choosing...

To AVOID Being TRUTHFUL...
Instead of Indulging...

... In All These...

......... “ EXCUSES “....... !!!
Kind of getting sick of hearing them now....

I'm Interested In.....
This Thing... " Writers' Block "...

But Let Me Just STRESS...
This Thing I AIN'T Got... !!!

I'm Intrigued By This View...
If You're In... Writers Shoes...

This Writers' Block PROBLEM...
Could... Happen To You... !!!

This May Be Because...
What You Write ISN'T True... !!!

I'm NOT Having A Pop...
But Feel Somewhat Confused... ???

How Come... Journalists...
DON'T Get Writers' Block TOO... !?!

Cos' They CLAIM To Write FACTS...
... When Reporting The News...

SEE... FACTS And TRUTH...
Are In View... EVERYDAY... !!!

REALITY Gives ME...
... PLENTY To Say... !!!!!

While FICTIONAL NONSENSE...
Is... MOST POETS Way...

POOR Grammar From SLAMMERS...
Who Write... " Mini - Plays "...

But... EVEN Some Plays...
Are LOCKED... "Well Away"...
In Places Like... "Bootle"...

HIDDEN... WELL AWAY...
From...... Public Perusal... !!!!!

My Poetry Style Is NEVER The USUAL...
RESISTANCE To This For CERTAIN IS FUTILE... !!!

I Guess Some Would Say...
That... Subjects I Pick...
Make Some People SICK... !!!

But That's Cos' The TRUTH...
Makes People RUN QUICK...
To GOOD Ol'... Writers Block... !!!

Well I'm READY To ROCK... !!!
NOT Like Haley But DAILY...
And I'm NOT Gonna Stop... !!!

The Clock... TIC' TOC'............................... ................
Until I'm... At The TOP...
The TOP of WHAT I Hear You Ask...
The TOP of What's REAL...
And Then OPEN The Flask... !!!!

Cos' Poetic NONSENSE...
NEEDS Tape And A Mask... !!!

The Truth Is SO VAST...
There's NO NEED To Ask...
A Preacher Or Teacher...
For... Writers' Block Class... !!!

UNLESS You're Like Them...
And Enjoy Multi-Tasks...
Like Finding A Farrago Slam...
To.... KISS ****.... !!!!!

For... FICTIONAL Poems...
To Get An... " A - Pass "...

But How Would You Feel...
If Your Efforts Were SHUNNED... ?
Cos'... Your Composition...
WASN'T Voted BEST ONE...
  
That Style's Being Done...
By Almost... EVERYONE... !!!

While TRUTH Like My Words...
Just SHINE Like The SUN... !!!

WITHOUT... Writers' Block... !!!

Cos' Poems I Write...
Use Logic Like... SPOCK... !!!

This IS How I Feel...
Ask Rappers The Deal...
Cos' Writing For Them...
Is An Everyday Meal... !!!

Rappers... ARE POETS...
Who Know How To FLOW IT... !!!

And Most Would Get SHOCKED...
By This Phrase... " Writers' Block "... !?!

Check Out The MIXTAPES'...
The Execs' HAVEN'T GOT... !!!!!

Oh And Just For Performers...
Who Like To... PERFORM...

These Emcees Appear...
To Have Words In Their Head... !!!
Like Brewers Have BEER... !!!

So DON'T Think You're Cool...
Cos' You've Got A Few...
of Your Words In Your Head...

Cos' ANY Good Rapper...
When They REPRESENT...
Will Get You A Part...
In The NEW... " LIVING DEAD "... !!!!!

OKAY... ENOUGH Said.

Poets RECITE Or Read To The Mic'... !!!
STOP Putting On... " Acts "...
It's NOT... " OPENING NIGHT "... !!!

That's Just MY VIEW...
It... May Not Be Right... ???
But ARGUE Your Corner...
With LOGIC... Alright... !!!

Cos' When I Reply...
You Might Get A FRIGHT... !!!
Cos' My Point of View...
Comes From FACTUAL INSIGHT... !!!!!

So As This Poem Transcends...
Try Writing What's REAL...
DON'T Try To... "Conceal"...
What You FEEL In Your Words...

Your Words Should Be YOU...
Cos' In You Is What's TRUE... !!!

LOVE What You've Got...
And Then This Might STOP... ???

The Chances of Getting...
This Thing.....

... " WRITERS' BLOCK "...
As said, not something I struggle with ...

What Is It With These... “ Know It Alls “... ?!?

They Seem To THINK That They’re CHOSEN...
When They... HAVEN'T Been CALLED... ?!?

They Really Make Me SICK...
With... ALL Their TALK... !!!

“You Shouldn’t Do This... !!!
You Need To Do That... !!!”

Always Running Some Chat...
As If They’re ALL THAT... !!!

You Have To Wonder WHY...
... Within Their Minds...
They Continually Try...
To Be The WISEST Guy...

Who Knows EVERY LAST THING...
About... EVERYTHING... !?!

They’re INCREDIBLE Folk...
And That Is... NO JOKE... !!!

They Know More About YOU...
Than YOU Seem To Do... ?!?

They Know Every Last Truth...
When They DON’T Even Have Proof... ?!?

They Know About Your Life... !!!

About... What You’ve Done WRONG... !!!
And... What You’ve Done RIGHT... ?!?

And They Even Have The Cheek...
To Think That They Can Speak...
About Issues Within YOUR Family...

As If They’ve... SEEN...
EVERYTHING That You’ve Seen... ?!?
...... Your Family DO.......
When That’s Just NOT TRUE... !?!

The Know It All... PROVES...
How A FOOL REALLY MOVES... !!!

So of Course They’re EXPERTS...
On... YOUR LIFE’s WORTH...
And How You Should Turn...

When It Comes To...
... Your Work...

When It Comes To...
... Your Health...

When It Comes To...
... Your Wealth...

And Of COURSE... How YOU...
Should Conduct Yourself... ?!?

... FRUSTRATED Souls...
Who Just CAN'T Control...
Running Off Their Mouths...
Uptown And Downtown... !!!

The Type of... CLOWNS...
With NO Circus Grounds... ?!?

Because What They’ve Found...
... WITHOUT ANY DOUBT...

Is That They Know EVERYTHING... !!!
But INSECURITIES Live Within Their Skin... !!!!!

So They’re QUICK To INSIST...
That They’re... NOT STUPID... !!!

And Are... NEVER WRONG...
Which Is A... PROBLEM... !!!

They DON'T Deal In BLAME...
Is... What They CLAIM... ?!?

They See... “ People The Same “...

Except For Those People...
... OUTSIDE of Their Race... ?!?

They DON'T Get Angry...
But Can’t AGREE To DISAGREE... ?!?

WITHOUT Behaving Like A Child...
Tantrums Profiled... Within Their Moods...

But They’ll... TELL You...
That Their Always Cool...

I Mean These KNOW IT ALL's...

REALLY Have Some GALL...
And A Whole Lot of FRONT... !!!

But The PROBLEM With Their Talk...
Is That It... LACKS WISDOM... !!!

Their Visions Are Warped...
And... ILL - INFORMED...
Because They’re Born...
From ARROGANT Shores... !!!

Always Claiming To Know...
What They CLEARLY DON’T... ?

They DON'T APOLOGISE...
Because They’re ALWAYS RIGHT... !!!

So... DENIAL's A Friend...
That They Keep REAL CLOSE... !!!

So When They Start To Blow...
It’s BEST To Let Them GO...................... !!!

Because What Comes Next...
Are Things EXPRESSED...
That Clearly Should NEVER...
EVER Leave Their Heads... !!!!

I Mean... Who Is PERFECT... ?!?

But THEM They’re Too CLEVER...
To EVER... ACCEPT...

That They Could Be... WRONG...
Because They’re OH SO STRONG... !!!

In The Things That They Express...
EVEN WHEN They’re Out of Their Depth... !!!!

But In Times of STRESS...
It Seems That Their Heads...
Start To... EXPLODE... !!!

From Their CORE Node...
When Their Life’s On HOLD...
And Their Thoughts Go To Zones...
Where FRUSTRATIONS ROAM...

They Are Pieces of Work... !!!
When It Comes To The Words...
That They NEED To Be HEARD...

TELLING You Things...
That Are WEAKER Than Links...
That... CANNOT Resist...

BREAKING... Like News...
That CONFUSES TRUTH... !!!
With... Tainted Views...

That Make Me Now Conclude...

That There Are...
... MORE Than A FEW... !!!

Whose Lives LOOK All Good...
But When You Look UNDER The Hood...

They’ve Got... ISSUES... !!!
That Provide The FUEL...
For Them To... ABUSE...
In The Talk That They Use...

That Is The DOWNFALL...

of....

... “ The Know It All “... !!!
People sometimes... SM...MFH ... ?!?

Especially in these crazy times, be running talk, as if they're losing their minds, and they tend to be the kind in this set of rhymes !

I ... Fight For What's RIGHT...
And DEFY These VILLAINOUS...
...... Government Types...... !!!

Who Are... SHADY Like Slim... !!!
Making Moves In "The DARK"...
Under... Cover of Night... !!!

Words That I Write...
Give... REAL Life Insight...
And WHATEVER The Price...

I'll Fight For What's Right...
By Using... The FORCE...
And My... Lyrical MIGHT... !!!

I FORGOT My Light Sabre...
So I'll Just Use The Mic...
To Share Some Opinions...
And Try To Shed Light...

I Appear With NO ARMOUR...
But I Am The Black Knight... !!!

Whose Words Look For JUSTICE...
In This World of... DARK Times... !!!

ENTER... My Mind...
And Maybe You'll Find...
A Man Who BELIEVES...
In... PEACE For Mankind... !!!

A Time Where You Get...
What You Pay For NOT DEBT... !!!
Tax Just KEEPS RISING...
But STILL They COLLECT... !?!

They Say That This Money...
WILL... HELP Them PROTECT...

... " You and Your Fam "...
From TERRORIST Sects... !!!

It's LIES They INJECT...
While They STING Like Insects... !!!

These **** BUREAUCRATS...
REALLY... Make Me VEX... !!!

IT'S ALL A... " PRETENCE "...
Their Calls For... DEFENCE... !!!

Whenever It's Spoke of...
It Makes... Little Sense...
The THREAT That They Talk of...
Is CLEARLY... NONSENSE... !!!

It's ALL... " Song And Dance "...
WITHOUT... " Singalong "...

Sounds Like The SAME SONG...
But In Truth It's A CON... !!!

We're ALL Paying DOUBLE...
While Corporates Shuffle...

Cash To... " Their FRIENDS "...
While POOR People Stumble...

I Feel Like... " BAM BAM "...
WITHOUT... Barney Rubble... !!!

But When Their Bed ROCKS...
I Hope It's... NOT *****...
That Make Bureaucrats...
Have *** With Doors LOCKED... !!!

it's Just A... " Suggestion "...
To FUEL Your Digestion...

So... THINK VERY HARD...
And Ponder That Question...

Before You Decide...
To IGNORE What I'm STRESSING...

I Live With... " Gods' Blessing "...
To Pose You These Questions...
With Poetic Prose...
That IMPECCABLY Flows...

Like HAGLER Inflicting...
An... UPPER CUT Blow...
To KNOCK You OUT COLD...
In The... Middle of Winter...

or Maybe Just... BEAT YOU...
Like Marv' DID To MINTER... !!!

How Many of You...
Remember... THAT FIGHT... ?!?

That Was A BEATING...
That Brought Me DELIGHT... !!!!

Cos' Minter Was RACIST...
Before THAT Black Night... !!!!!!!!!!!!

Bottles Were THROWN...
By His PROUD English Fans... !!!

Who COULDN'T Believe...
He LOST To A Black Man... !?!

See... RACISM'S RIFE...
Within... Englishman... !!!

While Some Men...
BEAT UP Their WIVES... ?!?
Which I DON'T Understand... ?!?

Women NEED LOVE...
NOT Swinging Right Hands... !!!

From BULLIES Who CLAIM...
To... " LOVE Their Woman "... ???

So Ladies I'm Saying...
Fight For Your Rights TOO... !!!
But Let's Get Things CLEAR...

If You Marry A FOOL...
Expect NOTHING More...
Than Treatment Like A *****... !!!

Cos' That's What These Idiots...
... Think You Are For... !!!

Knelt Down In Bedrooms...
SPREAD OUT On ALL FOURS... !!!!

But Once You've LOST *** Appeal...
They're... OUT THE DOOR...
Cos' Interest In... YOU...
They DON'T Have ANYMORE... !!!

DON'T Then Treat ALL Men...
Like You NOW KNOW The Score... !!!

MISTAKES YOU Have Made...
You MUST LEARN From Fa' Sure... !!!!!

BFEORE You... " Walk In "...
Through Another Mans' Door... !!!

So Folks There's The Score...
This Piece Should ENSURE...
A Sense of What's RIGHT...
In Things That Are FLAWED... !!!

Poli-TRICKS To Racism...
To Acts of... Sexism...

But Let Me Just Add...
To Those Who Have YOUTH...

Be Thoughtful And WILLING...
To STOP NEEDLESS KILLING...
Cos' YOU Could FALL VICTIM...
And... End Up In PRISON... !!!

So THINK On This Prose...
Cos' Things Like This Happen...
To... INNOCENT Men... !!!

It's Time For An END...
To... ALL This NONSENSE... !!!

Put USE To YOUR MIND...
LOOK OUT For The SIGNS...

Listen To Songs...
Like The... " Sign 'O' The Times...

Prince Dropped REAL Lyrics...
Like James... " Out of Sight "... !!!

Do Like The Whites...
ALWAYS... " Be POLITE "...

But USE What They Teach You...

To.....

" Fight For What's Right ! "...
What can one say these days regarding such a thing as,
... " Fighting for what's RIGHT " ... ?

However, the fight MUST Continue !
.... and hopefully we'll find ways,
to find our way to doing what we know to be right !

You May Be Good With LAND... ?
But That DOESN’T Mean...
That You’re Good With MAN...
Or INDEED... WOMAN... !!!

Or INDEED Of Course...
With... Your Children... !!!

And That RIGHT THERE...
Can Cause BIG PROBLEMS... !!!

But Let Me Move On...

You Might Be Good With CHICKS...
But NOT The Business of Raising Kids... !!!

You Might Be Good With RACISTS...
UNLESS You’re Someone Who Has DARK Skin... !!!

You May Be Good With Police...
... UNLESS Of Course...

You Get To Feel Their Knees...
Until You CAN'T BREATHE... !!!!!!!!!!

You May Be Good With Poetry...
But NOT Words Like These... !!!

To You... GEORGE FLOYD...
I Say... REST IN PEACE... !!!

Because Words Like THESE...
Are NOT GOOD To Read...
Or Indeed To... HEAR... !!!!!

Well It Seems A Lot of People...
Are Good With... FEAR... !!!

But Let Me Make This CLEAR... !!!

I’m NOT GOOD With YOU...
If That’s How You Move... !!!!!

I’m Pretty Good With …
.... THE TRUTH....
According To A FEW...

So Are You Good With LIES...
That AFFECT Your Life...
In Ways NOT SO NICE... !!!

Like The Type That Are Designed...
By... Governments Minds...

They’re Pretty Good With Things...
That Clearly...... STING...... !!!

So Are You Good With KILLING...
If It HELPS YOU LIVE...
Like Some SUPREMACIST... ?!!!?

Take A Minute And THINK...
About... THAT LYRIC... !!!

Because Quite A Few Seem...
To Be GOOD With THESE...
...... War Ceremonies...... ?!?

Even When They CELEBRATE...
PURE... KILLING Sprees...!?!

That INDULGE The Ideal...
That Wars Have Indeed...
Been A Good Thing For...
....... “ HUMANITY “......

Well That Now Seems...
To Be INSANITY To Me... !!!!!

Because...
If Your Good With Seeing...
... OTHER People BLEED...

Because of Their COLOUR...
... RELIGION Or CREED...

Let Me TELL YOU THIS...
You AIN’T Good With Me... !!!

So Are You...
Good With PEACE And UNITY... ?!?

You Best Be GOOD With THINKING...
BEFORE You..... AGREE... !!!

And Be Good With The TRUTH...
And..... REAL HONESTY..... !!!

In The Person You BE...
Or... CLAIM To Be... !!!

And That There Seems...
To Be A Good Place...
To... END This Piece...

It’s Actually Much DEEPER...
Than It’s Title Seems... !!!

It’s About A LOT Of Things...
But It’s About How You THINK... !!!

And The Things That You BELIEVE...
And Whether They Deal In REALITY... ?!?

So I’ll... Leave You With...
A Simple Question Like THIS...

“What Are You Good With ?”....
A good question for these days and times !
Big Virge Jul 2015
So What Does This CLASS Thing...
... Mean To YOU... ???

Someone Who Went...
To A... " Public School "... ?
Or A Gent In A BOWLER...
Whose Demeanour Is Cool... ?

Well....
If This DEFINES Class To You... ?
Watch... Laurel and Hardy...
They Wore Them TOO... !!!

But All They Did Was...
... Act The FOOL... !!!!!

ME... Well I Went To...
Your Average State School...
Surrounded By Kids...
With A Few Who Were Fools... !!!

And Some Came UNSTUCK...
... WITHOUT Any Glue... !!!

Cos' They Left School...
WITHOUT Paying Their Dues... !!!

Like... LEARNING In Lessons...
Instead of GIRL STRESSING... !!!

Well I'm The TEST PRESSING...
That Proves That Some Lessons
Can Leave People STRESSING... !!!!!
And Yes... Second Guessing... ???

What Class Am I From... ?!?

I'm... NOT From A Class... !!!
Except A... " Classroom "...

But THAT ISN'T TRUE... !!!!!!!
My Mum And Dad KNEW...
What Couples Should Do...
In The... "Privacy of "...
A... " Double Bedroom "... !!!

IC1... IC3... ?
How About... IC2... ?

Do These STUPID Groupings...
DEFINE... What Is YOU.... ?!?!?!?

Well... If They DO...
Good Luck To You... !?!

But Police Like The Government...
DEFINE Who They CHOOSE...
Just So Their PUPPETS...
Can... DISH OUT ABUSE... !!!!!

Being BLACK Is A Class...
ALL of It's... " OWN "... !!!!!

Cos' Most OTHER Folk...
... DON'T Enter The Zone...
Where Blacks Are Deemed...
To Live UNCONTROLLED.... !!!

I've LOST CONTROL...
A... Couple of Times... !!!

But Now I Stick To Writing Rhymes...
To Show My Class By Using MY MIND... !!!

Class... DISTINCTIONS...
Go With NARROW Minds... !!!

While Words I Write...
DEFINE The Times...
WITHOUT Class Signs... !!!

I'm Just Another VICTIM...
of... Western Systems...
That KEEP US... A P A R T...
By The Use of.... " Isms "....

... " CAPITALISM "...
Is A CLASSLESS... Ism... !!!

Cos'... If You BELIEVE...
You're Just CASH DRIVEN... !!!

While... " RACISM "...
Is A... Class Filled Ism...
Where Blacks Are Deemed...
To Be... FIT For PRISON... !?!?!

But That's NOT ME...
Cos' I Haven't Been In Em'... !!!!!

I Grew Up........
In London... " West Ealing "...

But This DOESN'T Mean...
That I'm Liking DARJEELING … !!!

This Class Thing Needs CLEANING... !!!
Cos'... Living This Life...
Does NOT Have A Ceiling... !!!

This AIN'T Monty Python... !!!
Life Has... DEEPER Meaning...........
Than Visions of... " CLASS "...

Houses For LOUSES... !!!
And I'm NOT Talking Scousers'... !!!
They're ALL Right With Me...
It's People From London...
With... NO CLASS BELIEVE... !!!

I Can Tell By Their Looks...
When They're Looking At ME... !!!

These People Are FULL of HYPOCRISY... !!!
This IS How CLASSY TRUE Londoners Be... !!!

Who Then Have The CHEEK... !!!
To DEFINE... Who I Be... !!?!!

My Father And Friends...
Used To Run In BARE FEET...

My Mum Used To TEACH...
And Both of Them Came From...
That... Bajan' Country...

With Sugar Cane Fields...
And White Sandy Beach...

My Father Is NOW...
An... OSTEOPATH... !!!

So Let's LOOK At That...

He's Treated STAR Athletes...
And White Folk That's FACT... !!!!!

Does THIS Give Me A PASS... ?!?
To Be... " Middle Class "...
Even Though I Am BLACK... ?!?

This STUPID Class Question...
Is Simply A... FARCE... !!!

Divisions Are... VAST...
Like A Galleon Mast... !!!
But BREAKING These Boundaries...
Is A Task... BEYOND Class... !!!!!!

And This Is UNCERTAIN... ?
Who... REALLY Has... ?!?

.......... " CLASS ".........
British folks and their ... " Groupings " ... !!!

Well It Seems That The Truth...
Is That A LOT of Pursuits...
AREN'T REALLY That Cool... !!!

Like The Pursuit of WEALTH...
ABOVE... Mental Health... !!!

And The Pursuit of FAME...
To Have Yourself Placed...
In A World Full of SNAKES...
Who Have... NO SHAME...
And Are MOSTLY... FAKE... !!!

Because Names In The Game...
DON'T Seem To Play STRAIGHT...

When It Comes To ****...
And Things That... STING...
For Them To Get In...
And Get STINKING Rich... !!!

A Pursuit That STINKS...
... Do You Get The Link... !?!

Because Industry Links...
Seem To Employ Tricks...
As Well As... RACISTS... !!!

And When It Comes To Kids...
Their Tricks Become SICK... !!!

Cos’ Their Pursuit of Them...
Has Caused PROBLEMS...
And Lead To... DEATHS... !!!

Because of The STRESS...
That Affect Young Heads...
When They Are Children... !!!

Because of ABUSES...
That MOGULS Be Using...
That Keep On ABUSING...
Just Like... PAEDOPHILES...
Who DON'T Seem To Stand Trial... !?!

Some Pursuits When Profiled...
Make Some People Act WILD... !!!

Like Those Who See ***...
As Something To GET...
NO MATTER What METHODS...
They Use For... *** Sessions... !?!

Many Are... FOUND...
To Pursue More Than HOUNDS...
With Those BASKERVILLE' Sounds... !!!
The DOC' And SHERLOCK...
PURSUE... Like Them COPS... !!!

Who CHOKE Men To DEATH...
When Their Knees Pressure Necks...
To Their Very LAST BREATH... !!!

Because Their Pursuits Lend...
Themselves To New Trends...
Like Those That NOW MATTER...
When Death Becomes BLACKER...
Than... Racist Attackers... !!!

You See Some Pursuits SHATTER... !!!

And Fuel PRETTY CHATTER...
That Pursues A New Chapter...
Where Black Folks Aren’t Left...
By Policemen For DEAD... !!!

You See This Poetry...
Is One That Yes Deals...
In..... REALITY.....

NOT... Pursuing POWER...
Like Those Who Now COWER...
In Bunkers Like Trumpers...
of... IGNORANT Numbers...

My Pursuit NEVER Slumbers...
Or... Pursues Those HUMMERS...
Like Suckers Now DUMBER...
Than Dumber And Dumber... !?!

It’s Really A WONDER...
Why People Pursue...
And... Do What They Do... ?!?

To IMPRESS... Be WELL DRESSED...
And Pursue What’s WORTHLESS... !?!

“It’s All Relative...”

Is What Some Would Suggest...

However To BETTER Your MIND...
... Is The Type...
of Pursuit I Now Like... !!!

Cos To Tell Y’all The TRUTH...
I’m TIRED of LIFE...
And Pursuing A Wife...
Good Times And Good Vibes...

Cos This Life’s Given PROOF... !!!
That It’s Best To Be SHREWD...

And To NOT Get TOO Cute...
When It Comes To The Moves...
You Pull To Be... “ COOL “...

It’s Like Pulling A Tooth... !!!

You Must Go To The ROOT...
of What Lies WITHIN YOU... !!!!!

So Be CAREFUL What You Choose...
And Be... WISE And ASTUTE...

When It... Comes Down To.....

....... “ What You Pursue “......
So many things that people pursue in life, but as the saying goes, sometimes, curiosity may well just **** the cat.........

Ya Know I'd Rather Be... UNIQUE... !!!
Than Join These... PHONEY Cliques... !!!

Just To Get Acceptance...
From People Who Are SHEEP... !!!

I See Them EVERY WEEK...
From Poetry Circuit CLIQUES...
To Childish... Girlie Cliques...

Who Basically I Have To See...
Throughout My Working Week...

They Look At Me From... FAR............
While I Shine Like A STAR....
WITHOUT A Hint of Arrogance...
Or A FAKE... " Ha Ha "... !!!

These Dummies Make Me Laugh... !!!
They Think They're REALLY SMART... !!!
Until I Simply... BLOW THEM OFF...
Like A.... " SMELLY **** ".... !!!!!

These Girlie Cliques STICK TOGETHER...
Like... Blueberry Tarts... !!!

These Cliques Employ The Good Ol' Ploy...
If You're NOT IN It's Like You've SINNED... ?!?
And Then You're Thrown In... Dusty Bin... !!!

321... While They Have FUN...
BELIEVE ME I'm Just Looking On...

Well From A Work Perspective...
It's Friends Who Get PUSHED ON...
To... UPPER Class Collectives...
Where Futures Are... "PROTECTED"... !!!

And Some of These Are People...
Who YES Have Been... ELECTED... !!!

To Join These... EVIL CLIQUES...
Who Then... "CONTROL Your Week"... ?!?

KEEPING... YOUR Future BLEAK... !!!
While They Are Looking CHIC... !?!

I've Got To Say This People....
They Make Me Feel Like... BLEEP.... !!!

See... EVEN In TOP Sport...
if You Are NOT Their Sort...
Your Chances Get Cut Short...
If You CANNOT Be BOUGHT... !!!

So Just ABSORB That Thought...
People We See In TOP Sport...
Have Got... CLIQUE Type Support...

From People Who Are In THE KNOW...
And See That You WON'T ROCK The Boat... !!!

See.....
Once They KNOW They've Got YOUR VOTE...
Your Boat Fa' SURE Will STAY... AFLOAT...

NOT Because You're TALENTED... !!!
PAY ATTENTION Here's The Quote... !!!

"Maybe we could use that bloke !"

Why Didn't You Laugh... ?
Didn't You Get The JOKE... ?

I Guess I'm NOT FUNNY...
To... CLIQUE Type Folk... !!!

See Cliques Are EVERYWHERE... !!!
From Masons Leather Chairs...
To Friends of... Tony Blair... !!!

Sometimes I Think There Is A Clique...
That... RULES My CRAZY HAIR... !!!

I'm JOKING People Please Don't STARE... !!!
That's What Cliques Do Cos' They're SCARED... !?!

of INDIVIDUALS... Who AREN'T  INTO...
Reading ******...  " Marie Claire "... !!!

Cliques In POWER Are... Political...
Cliques WITHOUT Power Try To Belittle...
OTHERS Cos' They... HATE Themselves... !!!!!

I Believe These Days In Personal Wealth...
Wealth of MIND And Knowledge of SELF... !!!

Cos' Knowledge of SELF...
QUELLS Cliques With STEALTH... !!!!!

Deal YOUR OWN CARDS... !!!
DON'T Take Cards DEALT...
By Cliques Who NEED...
... Their Collars FELT  ... !!!!!

Cliques Are FUNNY...
... "FILLED With DUMMIES"...

Who Should of STAYED In...
... " Mummy's Tummy "... !!!

These Cliques Are REALLY...
FULL of... "SNEAKS"... !!!

From Those Who Used To Walk The Beat...
To KKK Who Wear... " White Sheets "... !!!

It's FUNNY When They're On Their OWN...
They Speak Because Their Cover's BLOWN.... !!!

But When They're With...
Their... "Sneak Filled Cliques"...

Try Talking To THEM When They're IN VIEW...
It's AMAZING HOW They DON'T HEAR You... !?!

That's Why I Spit These Words Like PHLEGM... !!!
Cos' I DON'T Want To Be With... THEM... !!!

So That's Why I've Written This Poetic Piece...
Cos' I'm NOT IN Their... " Flock of Geese "...

I'm HAPPY...  Just To Be UNIQUE...
And NOT Be In Their TWO FACED...

...... " CLIQUES "......
Working in entertainment and then putting myself through the performance poetry ringer for a while in London, proved to be the inspiration for this .... and it sadly seems that, very little has changed, even today !
Big Virge Sep 2020
Well Now It’s Pretty Clear...
And... OBVIOUS...

That PEOPLE LIKE THEM...
Really Cause PROBLEMS... !!!

Right From The Top Down...
... Political Clowns...
Whose Talk Should Be DROWNED... !!!

So Yes Those In Governments...
And Their Media Friends...
Are Those Who Indeed...
Are... “ People Like Them “...

Those Who LIE And DESTROY Lives... !!!
Because of Propaganda And Lies They Supply...
Like Oil Pipelines That Feed The Rich...
But Leave The POOR...
To Be Permanently Ditched... !!!

Like ******* With Glitches...
That ***** Their Business...
Like Figures Who SNITCH... !!!

Because... PEOPLE LIKE THEM...

Are QUICK To Enlist...
ANYTHING That Brings...
FREEDOM From STINGS...
That Have DARK Links... !!!

Like Blacks Who’ve Been Hanged...
By... Ku Klux Gangs... !!!

A... PROBLEM Breed... !!!
Where Racism Feeds... !!!

But People Like Them...
Are NOT ALONE...
In Their IGNORANCE... !!!

I’ve Met TOO Many Blacks...
Who Keep Running Chat...
As If Our History Is ERROR FREE... !?!

Such FALLACIES Create Energies...
That Stop Any Chance of BLACK UNITY... !!!

If You Don’t Believe Me Ask Talib Kweli’...
A Reality... That’s PLAIN To SEE... !!!

If You Don’t Believe...
In DENIAL And BELIEFS...
Somewhat Like THESE... !!!

“It Was Those White Peeps’,
And Their Evil Deeds,
And Hateful Schemes,
That Have Made Blacks Be,
How We Currently Be !”

Like Being CHOKED On Streets...
By... Policeman's Knees... ?!?

You See People Like Them...
Really Have PROBLEMS... !!!!!!

Just Like Africans Who Are Happy To Lend...
A Helping Hand To White Gentlemen...
For AFRICAN Lessons To Be Taught By THEM.. ?!?

About African Life...
It’s Terrain And Wildlife... ?!?

THINK About That Line...
Before You Start To Whine...
About Me Being One...
Who Loves Everything White... !!!

Because It’s People Like Them...
Who Like To Run Such Lines... !!!

To Make Their Blackness SHINE... !!!

When They DON’T EVEN Have Skin...
That’s... DARKER Than Mine... !!!

With Their LIGHT SKIN Wives...
Brown Skin Child And Westernised Lives... !!!
Who Don’t Recognise That Guys Like... “ I “...

Are The **** of JOKES...
For All Kinds of Black Folks...
Because People Like Them...
Like To Run Such Quotes...

About.....

How Dark We Are...
How Big Our Noses Are...
How Ugly We Are...

And That’s Just The START.. !!!.

People Like Them FAIL...
Because They Can’t Get Past...

Their Historical CLAIMS...

About.... Blacks Being Great...
When They Chose NOT To Listen...
To... GARVEYS' Vision... !?!

It’s... People Like Them...

Who’ve Now Embraced Systems...
That Are FAR DISTANCED.......................... ..................
From Being... " AFRICAN "... ?!?

... People Like Them...
Chat A LOT of NONSENSE... !!!

And Really Seem To THINK...
That They Know EVERYTHING... ?!?

Like ARROGANT Heads...
Who Lack Common Sense... !!!

Which Is Why I Now Write...
These... PRECISE Rhymes... !!!

That Require... NO DEFENCE... !!!
When It Comes To What I’ve Said...
About The Type of IGNORANCE...

That Now CLEARLY DEFINES...

Yup...

.... “ People Like THEM ! “....
In these days and times, people are making their positions and ideals clear, such conversations and visions, inspired this piece.
