Now Sadly That’s How It Mostly Is...  
IGNORANCE... Is Truly Bliss... !?!
  
Cos’ When You Choose To THINK...
And USE Your CEREBRAL...
It Seems To Be LETHAL...
To... IGNORANT People... !!!
  
Who Switch Like Blades...
On... THINKING Brains...
Who Choose To Relate...
In Less Ignorant Ways... !!!
  
It’s Clearly Quite RARE...
For Heads To RESPECT...
Mind States Prepared...
  
To Use... Intelligence...
As Well As Common Sense...
In How They Choose To Express...
What’s Inside of Their Heads...
  
Instead of ARGUMENTS...
Bred From IGNORANCE... ?!?
  
To Express Their Views...
In Ways That Are Shrewd...
That Don’t Conclude...
In HURLING ABUSE... !!!
  
You See Many Are Confused...
So Prefer To Choose...
The IGNORANT Route...
Rather Than To Be COOL... !!!
  
And Show That Their Schooled...
In Dealing With... TRUTH... !!!
  
Instead of Choosing To Behave...
In... RIDICULOUS Ways... !?!
  
Which Is Why IGNORANCE...
Tends To Be Their Best Friend...
And Their... GO TO Vibe... !!!
  
When It Comes To The Stance...
That They Hide Behind... !!!
  
Dealing In... LIES...
That They Feed To Themselves...
As If They're The Right Guide...
To Their Minds Being Well... ?!?
  
So For Some It’s Their Wealth...
And Claiming Of Course...
To Have Knowledge of Self...
That Makes Them Feel PURE... !!!
  
And Then Of Course PRIDE...
Seems To Be Where They Find...
A Place In Their Mind...
Where They’re ALWAYS RIGHT...
  
When What THEY VIEW As STRONG...
Feeds A PONG of What’s WRONG... !!!
  
Which Is Just A Disguise...
That DENIES Being Wise...
When Life Is A Ride...
That Can Throw You Curve *****...
Pretty Much... ANY TIME...
Even When You STAND TALL... !!!
  
Cos’ Pitfalls Are A Force...
That Can Lead To Downfalls... !!!
  
That Can Cut Your Pride Short.
Like A Judgement In Court...
That Can Suddenly Put...
Your Life In Free Fall...  
  
When Judgements Are Made...
That AREN’T RIGHT AT ALL... !!!
  
So Your Standing's ERASED...
And What You Stood For...
Suddenly DOESN'T Look...
As If You’re... Quite As Good...
As You Have Projected...
To Certain Collectives...  
  
When Your Life’s INSPECTED...
As Well As... DISSECTED... !!!
  
So I Guess That It Is...
A Place Where Egos Live...
And Where Ignorance Brings...
A Way To... DISMISS...
The TRUTH About Things... !!!
  
From Being Racist...
To REFUSING To THINK...
  
BEFORE... Running Talk...
That Just Proves Your Like Mork’... !!!
  
A JOKER Whose LOCO...
Down In... ACAPULCO... !!!
  
Making... IGNORANT Quotes...
That Show That You’re Broke...
DEEP Down In Your SOUL... !!!
  
With NO Place To Go...
Other Than BRAVADO...
That Just Puts On SHOWS...
  
That Clearly EXPOSE...
The Holes In Your Roll... !!!
  
Because Holding Bank Notes...
DOESN’T Prove That You Know...
Anything More Than Dough...
And Making That Paper...
To Make You Feel GREATER...
  
Than NATURES CREATOR...  ?!?
  
So TAKE IN... THAT LYRIC...
And YES... THINK About It... !!!
  
BEFORE Running Your Lips...
And Thinking That You’re Slick...
Due To Your Heritage...
And Historical Links...
  
Are You Looking At Things...
Like How People NOW Live... ?!?
  
Vaccinated Like Pigs...
And SINNING To WIN...
To Act Like Queens And Kings...
Holding Worthless Trinkets...
  
Rather Than Help Our Kids...
To Live BETTER THAN THIS... !!!
  
If You Think That’s OKAY...
Then You Should Be ASHAMED... !!!
  
Which Is Why I Can Say...
These Things And Relate...
  
That Ignorance Links...
Itself To Some Things...
That Makes Humans Sink...
Into An... ABYSS...
  
Where Those Who Do THINK...
And Use Thought To UPLIFT...
  
Are Treated As If...
We're People Who Think...
That We Know Everything... ?!?
  
When All That We’re Really Trying To Do...
Is To Find..... BETTER ROUTES..... !!!
  
Than To Act Like Dumb Fools...
Who Are Quick To ABUSE...
When They Hear A TRUTH...
That Simply... BLOWS Their COOL... !!!
  
Which Is Why This Script’s...
Last Verse Is... THIS... !!!
  
When It Comes To How People...
Deal With Those Whose Cerebral...
Flies HIGH Like An Eagle... !!!
  
SADLY...
  
... “That’s How It Mostly Is”...
As the poem states, It's sadly not always a smooth ride, when you are one who possesses wisdom, and the type of smarts that deal in truth, that offends others.

'“Why Exactly, Do Some Hate It So Much ?”

A Poem written by Big Virge 16/3/2021

Now I Know That It’s TOUGH...
And Is Really NOT FUN... !!!

But.....

Why Exactly...
Do Some Hate It So Much... ?!?

Facing Up To The TRUTH...
And The Straight Talk That Proves...

That Sometimes You Must Choose...
To Simply Stay Cool...
In The Face of ABUSE...
And REJECT … Attitudes...

Cos' When You Give It Out...
You Have To … Take Some Too... !!!

Lines That Cast Doubt...
On The Words That You Use...
That Do Not Hold Values... !!!

Cos’ We All Have Our Moments...
Where We Say What Is POTENT... !!!

To People We Know...
Who AREN’T Always FOES...
Or... IGNORANT Folks... !!!

Sometimes It Is People...
You Place Upon Steeples...
That Have To Hear Things...
That Sometimes Do STING... !!!

Cos’ We Just Can’t Agree...
About EVERY Last Thing... !!!

We ALL NEED To LEARN...
To Take Turns Being Hurt...
By Words Well Observed...

And Some That Are NOT... !!!

Some Peoples Words SHOCK...
And Really Do Knock...
The Spots Off of Dogs...
Like Dalmatians Have Got... !!!

Sometimes They Are Wrong...
And Just Do Not Belong...
In Our Conversations...
Because Some Are BLATANT...
Forms of... DISRESPECT... !!!

But It’s Good To COLLECT...
Your Thoughts Before Threats...
Or Ignorance Lends...
Itself To The End...
of Speaking To Friends...
Because You’re UPSET...
Or Are Dealing With STRESS... !!!

But Sadly Some People...
Resort To What’s Feeble...

But... Why Exactly...
Do They Hate It So Much... ?!?

When THEY Are The Ones...
ALWAYS Running Their Gums...

When They Have To Hear...
Some Speech That Makes CLEAR... !!!

What Someone Else Thinks...
About Thoughts That They Bring...
Within... THEIR Lyrics...

As If They Will Sink...
Like... Titanic Ships... !!!

Because of Put Downs...
That Come Out of THEIR Mouths... !!!

And Now It’s Online...
That People Drop Lines...
That Really AREN’T Nice... !?!

Cos’ They Seem To Forget...
The Things That They’ve Said...
That Have Upset Their Friends...

Or People... They Don’t Know...
With All Their … Online Quotes...

FOOLISH Keyboard Gangsters...
Who Like To **** Hammers...
Well Really... KEYBOARDS...
With Their Ignorant Thoughts... !?!

Could They Be Insecure...
And Just Feeling … SORE... ?!?

Because of Comments...
That They Think Give Them Strength...

When The Comments They Bring...
Prove That They’re WEAKEST Links... !!!

Cos’ There’s Too Much Pretence...
Now On … Internet Threads... !!!

People Need To STEP BACK... !!!

INSEAD of... Just REACT...
Like A Child In A Pram... !?!

Come On What’s Up With That... !?!

Which Brings Me Right Back...
To This Question I Have...

About Chats That Go BAD...
When TENSIONS RISE UP... !!!

Over Talk That Can Run...
Where Opinions... DIFFER...

“ Why Exactly Do Some Hate It So Much ? “
Some people seem to think that only, THEY have the right to push peoples buttons, this was inspired by such an individual, who I thought was cool, and could deal, but clearly could not.
Big Virge Sep 2021
Now I Have To Say That SADLY...
That My Lifetime Has Seen...
A Lot of Things That Are WEAK... !!!

From Thinking That WREAKS...
... of PURE STUPIDITY... !!!

To The Type of WEAK Speech...
That’s Now Seen On TV’s...
And In Political Scenes... !!!

And When It Comes To Poetry...
It Seems That Many Lean...
To The REJECTION of Words...
of... REALITY Verse... !!!

When They Have DEEP MEANING...
WAY ABOVE The Ceiling...
of These Poetry Weaklings... !!!

Who’d Rather Write For FUN...
Instead of Deal In Stuff...
That Speaks On Governments...
And Acts of IGNORANCE... !!!

Now When It Comes To Love...
In Poetic... Writings...
It’s Not A Weak Thing... !!!

But It’s FOOLISH And NAIVE...
To..... REJECT Poetry...
That Speaks REALITY...
About How Love Can Be...
BEHIND What People See...
And Seem Happy To Believe...

Like When Behind The Scenes...
A So Called Man Will BEAT...
A Wife Until She SCREAMS... !!!

A Love That ISN’T Seen...
By Those Who Live In DREAMS... !!!

My Mother Had To Feel...
BRUTALITY... SO REAL... !!!

That My Father PROVED To Me...
How WEAK Some Love Can Be...

When Marriages DECEIVE...
Just Like Partners Who CHEAT... !!!
Whilst CLAIMING LOVE To Be...
A Thing That DRIVES Their Minds...

Well That’s WEAK...
And FAR From...... Wise... !!!!!

ESPECIALLY When You KNOW...
How LOW Some People Go... !!!

When We DESTROY All Guns...
And Give Hatred A SHUV’...
To A Place Where Its DENIED...
A Chance To RUIN Lives... !!!

Maybe Then I’ll Sit And Write...
About Love ALL THE TIME... ?!?

But What I See...
... AIN’T A Loving Breed... !!!

Or One Who Deals...
In TOTAL Free Speech... !!!

Because It’s WEAK To Me...
To Make SERIOUS CLAIMS...
About POWERFUL Names...
And How They Behave...
In DISGRACEFUL Ways... !!!

If Their Name Then Stays...
LOCKED Inside Your Brain... ?!?

If You Are AFRAID...
of What They’ll Do To You...

DON’T Tell HALF TRUTHS... !!!

You’d Better Join Their Crew...
And Just Shine Their Shoes... !!!

And As For What’s Said...
On These Internet Threads...
About Things Now Seen...
On Social Media Feeds...

What They Now Show ME...
Is That MANY Are WEAK... !!!

But Yet They CLAIM To Be...
The STRONGEST Breed... ?!?

So REFUSE To Deal In UNITY...

So Much HYPOCRISY...
And IGNORANT Speech...
Seems To Be What Feeds...
... MANY Mentalities... !!!

And We All Know That Society...
Has All Kinds of FIENDS...
In Places Where They...
... Should NOT BE... !!!

Making CLAIMS...
About How GREAT Their Nations Be... !!!
When In REALITY They’re Clearly WEAK... !!!

Like Their Media Teams...
Corrupted Armies And RACIST Police... !!!

And When It Comes To...
... TRUTH And Honesty...

They’re CLEARLY WEAK...
When It Comes To Their USE...
And... TRANSPARENCY... !!!

About Their Moves...
That Are WORSE Than Weak... !!!

And Our Human Breed...
When It Comes To MONEY...

Is WEAK Like... **’s...
And The Pimps Who They Feed...

... Selling Their Souls...
As Well As Their Holes...
Just Like Those In *******... !!!

Is It STRONG Or WEAK...
To Give Up Your *******...
For The World To See... ?!?

Is It STRONG Or WEAK...
Or... PROGRESSIVE To Be...
One of These New Gender Breeds... ?!?

Because What’s STRONG To Me...
Is To... Have A Family...
With MUMMY And DADDY... !!!

But That’s Just ME... !!!

A Man Whose Views...
STAND STRONG Like Mans’...

Who... Do NOT Need...
To Join Up With Gangs...
And VIOLENT Street Teams... !!!

Because HONESTLY...
I Really Think It’s WEAK... !!!

To Join Up With Heads...
Just To Cause BLOODSHED... !?!

... ESPECIALLY When...
Those You Choose To STING...
Have The VERY SAME SKIN...
As The One In Which YOU LIVE... ?!?

Because It Makes NO SENSE...
To Keep Causing... DEATH...

When This HUMAN VIRUS...
CLEARLY HAS PROBLEMS...
That NEVER Seem To End... !!!

They Just Pause For A While...
And Then... RECUR Again... !?!

And Now NEW TECH...
Is What’s Seen As Being BEST...
For Humans To Progress... ?!?

Well I Guess That’s Why...
I’ve Written This Poem...

Because People Prefer...
To DENY And DEFER...

Their Minds Away From REALITY RHYMES....
Which Is Why This Piece of Poetry Speaks...

On The Things I’ve Seen...
Within Our Human Breed...

That Have PROVEN To Me...

That When It Comes To...
FACING The TRUTH...

The Majority of Our Communities...
Would Rather NOT READ...
Or Have To Deal With REALITY Themes...

Because SADLY In All HONESTY...

They Are FEARFUL And Are Mostly...

................. “ WEAK “................
Inspired by a conversation with a fellow poet, who runs online shows, who stated that other poets had a problem with my wanting to use the shows, to use poetry to speak on societal issues, as it was a little too uncomfortable for them to want to have to speak on and deal with.
Devotional

These poems are my devotional to you
They’re my way of keeping myself honest
My affirmation that I am yours for however
Long you wish me to stay
Fourth part....
Tim Benjamin Sep 2021
I wanted to take the time to write you this because you deserve nothing less than complete honesty. I know I've told you just how beautiful you truly are to me but I still feel as if you don't see what I see. Thats partly my fault because your beauty is more honest than I've ever been able to be with you. Your beauty is bold and unafraid so maybe it's my turn to be the same.

Honestly when I look at you I'm reminded that if you stare at the sun too long you can go blind but I wouldn't mind if the last image I  ever saw was your smile. Your smile reminds me of that, the sun. It leaves a lasting warmth that lingers even on cold nights. Ive painted your smile so many times in my head that I've memorized every little curl.

Honestly your eyes remind me of the north star. Like I could get lost in them, if they didn't point the way back home, to you. Under the bright city lights your eyes are the only stars that refuse to be outshined.

Honestly I've  learned that I'm my happiest when I watch you dance. Those moments where I can feel your happiness as your body glistens under the dimly lit dance floor. All I can think about is the mornings before winter, when the air is first getting cold. The frosted mornings that leave the world icy as if by magic.

Honestly your voice sounds like a song I've known my whole life but never knew the words to, so I just forever hum the tune trying to remember what's been forgotten. It echoes through me while the racing beat of my heart fights to keep time just praying it can be the next song you dance to.

I know you thought my eyes lit up every time another girl walked in but it's you who illuminated my world with just a simple smile. It's no wonder your name means God is my strength because I've needed the strength to breath after God stole one of my ribs and made you. So before you doubt your beauty again, look at yourself through my eyes, and know that,
Honestly,
You just need to smile and my whole world makes sense.

Now It's Clear That Some Heads...  
Need To See That I GET IT... !!!  

That...
ARROGANCE And EGO...  
..... Can DISCREDIT.....  
  
Your Claims To Be IMPRESSIVE...  
In Art That You're... Representing...  
  
Now It Could Just Be...  
JEALOUSY Or ENVY... ?!?  
  
of The... Level of BELIEF... !!!  
That Might APPEAR To EXCEED...  
..... HUMILITY In Me.....  
  
But It’s Simply THAT...  
And That’s... A FACT... !!!  
  
Or Maybe It’s THIS...  
The Current SOFTENING...  
of How People Live...  
Well In FACT EXIST... !!!  
  
Due To VIRUSES...  
And... Contrivances...  
  
That Have Now...  
QUELLED REBELS...  
On... Various Levels... !!!  
  
People Are DISHEVELLED...  
And Just Like Killah Priest...  
Have HEAVY MENTALS... !!!  
  
But NOT LIKE Him...  
Or Guys Like... ME... !!!  
  
Who Is An... ARTIST...  
Who Has MORE Lyrics...  
Than MOST Lyricists...  
Who Are In The Business...  
of Making... HITS... !!!  
  
So TRUST When I Say...  
That... I DO GET IT... !!!  
  
BUT My Wordplays’ NOT GENERIC...  
Or Written For... COMPETITIONS... !!!  
  
What I Write Is SERIOUS STUFF... !!!  
I Know That Some Are Just Poking FUN... !!!  
  
But Some Clearly BELIEVE...  
That BIG VIRGE Doesn’t See...  
That He Needs HUMILITY... ?!?  
  
And Yes I’m Now Talking...  
In The... THIRD PERSON...  
Because... BIG VIRGE...  
Is Just Another Version... !!!  
  
of Who The Man VIRGIL...  
REALLY Is... TRULY... !!!  
  
A Man Who Deals...  
In... DEEP ARTISTRY... !!!  
  
So My... EXPRESSION  ...  
Is Just What STRENGTHENS...  
  
INSECURITIES...  
That Sometimes Reach...  
BIG PARTS of... My Psyche... !!!  
  
But As A Good Buddy...  
Said To Me... Recently...  
  
“Don’t listen to the haters Virge,  
because your use of verse,  
when it’s well observed,  
does show superiority,  
that’s above the artistry,  
that nowadays comes cheap,  
with egos that exceed,  
the place where they should be !”  
  
So You See...  
It’s A DIFFICULT Thing... !!!  
To BALANCE EGOS That Live...  
Inside... SERIOUS Artists... !!!  
  
So BEFORE You Think It’s COOL... !!!  
To Start Making CLAIMS...  
And To Hurl Abusive Views...  
  
About An EGO...  
That You ASSUME...  
Is A... MASSIVE Part...  
of The Big Virge DUDE... !!!  
  
DON’T Get It CONFUSED... !?!  
  
I’ve Said It BEFORE...  
And I’ll... Say It AGAIN... !!!  
  
My Style Is RAW...  
And DOESN’T Play...  
  
… I STAND ALONE... !!!  
  
And DON’T Write For The Folks...  
Who Take Life For A JOKE... !!!  
  
I’m A SERIOUS Bloke... !!!  
Whose Poetic Quotes...  
Are Those That Go...  
With The Type of Egos...  
  
Whose Art Is DOPE... !!!  
  
And This Has Been Expressed...  
By A NUMBER of Heads...  
On The WORLD WIDE WEB... !!!  
  
From DIFFERENT Continents... !!!  
  
And From Those Who Were There...  
And Were In MY PRESENCE...  
When I’ve Performed Poems...  
LIVE And... DIRECT... !!!  
  
So That’s Right I’ll DERIDE...  
Artistry That I Find...  
DOESN’T Exercise...  
My Body Or Mind... !!!  
In Ways That ELEVATE... !!!  
Or Make My Hips GYRATE... !!!  
  
And BELIEVE Me When I Say...  
That I KNOW My Art Holds WEIGHT... !!!  
  
And Is Just NOT Seen As... GREAT...  
Because My Ego DOESN'T DEFLATE... !!!  
  
Around Those Who BELIEVE...  
In The HYPE That They Receive...  
From The Media And TV... !!!  
  
And Because...
UNLIKE These Heads Who EXUDE...  
… The Type of EGOS...
That Could COVER Up THE MOON...  
  
I DO TRY To Keep Mine COOLED...  
  
But To Write In The Way...  
That... I NOW DO... !!!  
  
“ Of Course I’ve Got One Too ! “
It's a fine line that you have to keep a close eye on, however, critics and those who are quick to accuse people of being certain things, should maybe take some to THINK, before doing it ... !!!
Em MacKenzie Aug 2021
You can pick up a brick
and throw it through a glass pane,
or you can look for others
and make a home.
Even if the world is ****,
it’s up to you to plant flowers
in the fertilizer.
Amanda Kay Burke Aug 2021
Say something
Prove I'm wrong
You have an argument ready
Mess up perfect break-up speech
This is headed south already

You excel at sounding smart
Realize how little you know
Compliment me
Flatter my senses
***-kissing you owe

Are you fooling yourself?
Got nothing going for you
Walking away
It's what's best
It isn't easy for me to do

Dang dude
Grow the hell up
So immature it makes me sick
Lame in a multitude of ways
Including a tiny ****
Hope no one is offended by this hilarious yet brutal poem
