So ..... ???  
Which Do YOU Prefer ... ?!?

Our ... One Race Free ...  
To ... LOVE Each Other ...

..... " Peace " .....

I'm SICK Now of Hearing ...
This Word ... " Compromise " ... !!!!!
  
While THEY Tell Us Lies ... !!!
Why Should I ... " dIsGuise " ... ?
The Truth From .................................... "Their Eyes" ... ?!?
  
THEY As In ...... " THEM " ......  
  
Who Give Us ... PROBLEMS ... !!!!!
While THEY Sit And Spend ...
Cash THEY Have STOLEN ... !!!!!
  
This Thing ... Compromise ...
Is How They've ... Devised ...
To Keep Us From ... Seeing ...
THE TRUTH From THE LIES ... !!!
  
So ...
Can It Be ... " Wise " ... ?
To Just ... Compromise ... ?
Opinions ... In YOU ....
  
You KNOW ...
To Be ... TRUE ... ?!?
  
Just To Make CASH ...
So You Can Live ... FLASH ... !?!
  
THAT ...
  
Just ISN'T ... REAL ... !!!
  
You Might As Well ... "Steal" ...
Cos' Living Like THAT ...
  
UNevEns .... " The Keel " .... !!!
  
Do YOU ... Compromise ... ???
  
Well ...
Maybe You Do ... ?
  
But When You Reflect ...................................
Can You Say It Was ... Wise ... ?!?
  
I CANNOT Deny ... !!!
I Have ... Compromised ... !!!

But Now I Believe ...
I'd Rather ... DEFY ... !!!
Than Sit And ... " Comply " ...
With Those Who Would Try ...
To Make Me The ... " Fall Guy " ... !!!!!
  
They ALWAYS Imply ...
That Brothers Like I ...
Should Simply BEND OVER ...
ROLLOVER ... and Die ... !?!?!
  
Well .....
  
If I Must ... Die ...
I Firstly MUST TRY ...
To RISE ABOVE ... Those ...
Who Just ... " Compromise " ...
  
And Sell Themselves ... " short " ...
Cos' Their Souls Have Been ... Bought ... !!!
By Those Who ... "Constrict" ...
Their ... FREEDOM OF THOUGHT ... !!!
  
These Days ...  
I'm Now ... STRESSING ...
POETIC ... Expression ... !!!!!

To FLY With ... God's Blessing ...
Straight Into ... " His Heaven " ...
  
In Life Can't We Be ...
... Mentally FREE ... ?

To ... EXPRESS Our View ...
On Things That We SEE ... ???
  
WITHOUT ........................................... Compromise ....... !!!
  
For Guys Who Wear ... "Ties" ...
Who Seem ... SO SURPRISED ... !?!?!
  
When Black Men Like Me ...
Are ... WISE TO Their LIES ... !!!
  
And Use THEIR OWN WORDS ...
To Devise Their Demise ...
  
Compromise ... HERE ...
Or Compromise ... THERE ... ?
  
We NEED TO Start Issuing ...
WARNINGS ... BEWARE ... !!!!!!
  
With Poetry CLAIMING ...  
... The Media GLARE ... !!!!!!!!!
  
So Maybe One Day ... ?
I'll Be Your ... " Compere " ...
  
WITHOUT ..........  
Song and Dance ........
I'm NOT .... Fred Astaire .... !!!!!!!
But ..... Running AMOK .....  
YES ... Just Like MY HAIR ... !!!!!!!!!
  
So Who'll Pave The Way ... ?!?
For Poets ... To Say ...
The Things On Their Mind ...
That HURT .... EVERYDAY .... !!!!!
  
Could It Be ... " Me " ... ?
Or Could It Be ... " You " ... ?
  
Who REALLY Can Handle ... !?!
  
Reciting ... THE TRUTH ...
WITHOUT ... " Selling Out " ...
  
Just To Look ... " COOL " ...  
Well I ... AIN'T That Fool ... !!!!!
  
My Brain Is A TOOL ...
To Skywalk' ... Like LUKE ... !!!!!
  
But Forces Are ... DARK ... !!!
Surrounding Like ... SHARKS ... !!!
  
"PROTECTING" .... The Few ...
Who ... "Hide What They Do" ... !!!
  
So ...
Tell Me This People ...  
  
Is What I Say ... TRUE ... ???
  
Well That's ...  
Up To ... YOU ...  
  
UNLEARN What You've Learned ... !!!
Before You Get ... BURNED ... !!!
  
LUST For ... " A Prize " ...
Could Leave You ... "downsized" ... ?!?
  
And This ...
Might Just Happen ...  ???
  
If You ............
  
.... " Compromise " ....

So Many ... CLAIM ... !!!

They ... Want To HELP ... !!!
But ... Seem To Me ...
To ... " Help Themselves " ... !?!

From ... " Charities " ...
To ... " Families " ...
Who Help Long After ............................

..... " TRAGEDIES " ..... !!!!!

Even Those In ... " Poetry " ...
Seem RELUCTANT ...
To ..... " Use Me " ..... ?!?

Because of Words ...
They Hear Me Speak ...

Black and White ...
Have ... FEAR FILLED Eyes ...
When They Hear Me ... Use A Mic ....

I'm Sure In Truth ...
It's NOT Just ... " Me " ... !!!!!
But Those Who DON'T ...
Use ... PROCESSED Speech ...
And ... REJECT Joining ...

..... PHONEY CLIQUES ..... !!!

They Seem To ... Like ...
How Things ... Now Are ... ?!?

... " ILLITERACY " ...
  
From ...
Class To ... Bars ... !!!

Their ...  Form of HELP ...
Hasn't ... Got Us Far ... !?!

My ... Use of Speech ...
Ain't Always ... " Street " ...
And Doesn't Always ...

... Frighten Peeps' ... !!!!!!!

But Nowadays ....
That's How You Reach ...
Youth ... Whose Lives ...
FEEL .... Incomplete ....

I've heard this said ....

"Virge, kids would,
really, love your words !"

And Now I'm Finding ...
It's ... " The Youth " ...
Who Like ... My Stuff ...
And Think It's ... " COOL " ... !!!

So Now I'd Like ...
To Work In ... Schools ... !!!
And Touch These Kids ...
With ... DIFFERENT Views ...

That's ... A Start ...
But ... Uni's TOO ... !!!!!

Because They Are Deemed ...
To Have The Youth ...
Who'll ... Run The World ...
And Make ... STRONG MOVES ... !!!!!

But Now I've Got To ...
Go To ... SCHOOL ... !!!!

To Prove That I ...
Can Teach The Youth ...

So Much For ....
These ... FUNDED Groups ... !!!

Are They ...
Trying To ... " Help " ... ?
Or ... FILL THEIR BOOTS ... ?!?

Just Like ... MANY ...
... " Aid Groups " ... DO ... !!!

I'm Now ... " Confused " ... ?
And May ... " Refuse " ...
To Do What's Right ...
And ... HELP The Youth ...

While ... Parents Cry ...
Into ... " TISSUES " ... !!!!!

The ... " Poetry Scene " ...
Is ... FILLED With Dreams ... !!!

But ...
Run By ... "Those" ...
Who Are .................................................. "unseen" .......

They ...
FLY Through Here ... !!!

And ...
FLY Through There ... !!!

But ...
Never Seem To ...
Be ... Prepared ...

To ... Bring Those In ...
Who Are NOT SCARED ... !!!
To ... Speak Their MIND ...
Through ... CLEVER Rhyme ... !!!!!

And Use The Truth ... !!!!!
To .... " Reflect Times " ....

Times That WARRANT ...

******* LINES .... !!!!!!!!!!!

WELL Designed ...
And YES ... " REFINED " ... !!!
To HELP Our Youth ...
To ... STOP The Crimes ... !!!

Leading To ....
PREMATURE ... Flatlines ... !!!!!!!

Why ... " Decline " ... ?!?
To Use ... Such Rhyme ... !?!

Time Just ... Rolls On........................

You CAN'T ... REWIND ... !!!!!

And Time Right Now ...
Is .... " Running Out " ....
While Groups Like These ...
Are ... " Making Pounds " ... !!!

And Getting Grants ... !!!!!

To Do What's Right ... ?
And .... ENERGIZE ....
Our Youth To LIVE .... !!!
A ... POSITIVE LIFE ... !!!!!!!

By Using ... Those ...
Who Write ... Good Prose ...
And KNOW ABOUT ...
Life's ... HIGHS and Lows ... !!!!!

From ... Taking Dope ...
To .... Snorting Coc' .... !!!!!

Because ....
Things Like These ...
ARE NOT A Joke .... !!!!!!!!

And ... Have Left ...
MANY Young Hearts ...

...... BROKE ...... !!!!!!

It's ...
CLEARLY TIME ...
To ... Utilize Rhyme ...

If You ...
Don't Believe Me ...
Ask .... Stephen Fry .... !!!!

He ...
LOVES Poetry ...
As Much As ... I ... !!!

From Classics To ...
Contemporary Styles ...

When Rap's Done WELL ...
It Drives Kids ..... WILD ..... !!!!!!

And When ... " Applied " ...
To ... Children's Minds ...

You ... May Just Find ... ?
They'll ... REJECT Crime ...
And Be CONSTRUCTIVE  ...
... With Their Time ... !?!

These Words of Mine ...
Are YES ... " HEARTFELT " ... !!!
  
But ... Wonder When ... ???
These Groups Will SMELL ...

The Coffee ...
And Will ... REJECT Tea ... !!!

And Utilize ... My Poetry ....
Cos' Words I Write ...
Are Worth ... Money ... !!!

And ... NEED TO BE ...
Passed On With ... STEALTH ... !!!!!

Cos' Right Now ... I ...
DON'T LIKE The SMELL ... !!!!!!

of Those Who CLAIM ... !!!

They're ... Trying To ...

....... " HELP " ....... !!!

People ... These Days ...
Are ... SO ****** RUDE ... !!?!!

and ... Seem To Think ...
They Should NOT Use ...
Words Like ... THESE ...

These Two ...

THANK YOU ... !!!

This ... Gets To Me ...
Doesn't It ... To You ... ?

Ignorant Youth ...
Who Act ... Uncouth ...

Adults Who ...
Fit In ... Their Shoes ...
and Clearly NEED ...
A ... " Manners School " ... !!!

Women TOO ...
Keep Giving ... Proof ...

They'd Rather ... " Act " ...
Like ... " Gangster Dudes " ... ?!?

Abusing Men ...
When We ... Look At Them ... !?!

Some Girls These Days ...
Are Worse Than ... Phlegm ... !!!!!

You ... OPEN A Door ...
They LOCK ... "Their Jaw" ... !!!

Girls Like THIS ...
I Now .................................................... Ignore .............

Would A ...
THANK YOU ... HURT ... ?!?

I Guess It Does ... ?
That's Why ... " These Girls " ...
Aren't Finding .................................................................­........ Love ........ !!!

It's Simple ...
Just ... OPEN Your Mouth ... !!!

You Do It When ...
You Go ... " Down South " ... !!!

Now Girls ... DON'T START ...
To ... SCREAM and SHOUT ... !!!

"He ain't got a clue,
what he's talking about !"

I'm SAYING ...

Some of You Just POUT ...
Like An ... UGLY Trout ...
That's About To DROWN ... !!!!!

Walking Streets ...
With ... " Gangsta Clowns " ... ?!?

FOOLS ... Who Walk ...
On ... DANGEROUS Grounds ... !!!!!!

Picking FIGHTS ... ?!?
ALL OVER Town ... !!!
While Men Like Me ...
Look On and ... FROWN ...

Just Look At ... Roads ...
You Know How It Goes ...

You ... " Give Way " ...
To Let Someone GO ...

They Get To You ...
and TURN UP Their Nose ... ?!?

This Can Sometimes ...
Lead To ... BLOWS ... !!! ...

Or .... Late At Night ....
It's The Same Thing Right ... ?!?

People BLIND YOU ...
With Their Lights ... !!?!!

NO Smile or Time ...
To Be ... " Polite " ...

They Drive Past You ...
With ... EVIL EYES ... !!!!!

One Day They'll Get ...
A ... BIG SURPRISE ...

A FOOL Like ... THEM ...
Who ... Wants To FIGHT ... !!!

Surely People ...
This AIN'T RIGHT ... !!!?!!!

I'm NOT Surprised ...
In ... Modern Times ...

But Felt I Should ...
Put THIS ... In Rhyme ... !!!

Because People Act ...
Like It's A ... " Crime " ... ?
To Do ... What's Right ...
and Be ... " Polite " ...

Most Now Seem ...
To Want Street Fights ... ?!?

But NOT ... The Game ...
and That's A Shame ...

But Could ... Such Games ...
Have Bred ... Such Ways ... ???

It's ...
Merely A Thought ...
So ... What Do You Say ... ?

At The End of The Day ...
People ... DISPLAY ...
An ... " ATTITUDE " ...
That Brings ... DISMAY ... !?!

I Try To REFRAIN ...
From Playing Such Games ...
That ... End In PAIN ... !!!!!

But Like Most Folks ...
My Patience DRAINS ...
Then I Act ... INSANE ...
Like ... " Frasier Crane " ...

Do You ...
Get What I'm Saying ... ?

Don't Make ... BIG PEOPLE ...
LOSE Their ..... " COOL " .....

You Could LOSE Your Life ... !!!!!!
For Being .... RUDE ....
REMEMBER That Line ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cos' ...
That One's ... TRUE ...

It Seems To Me ...
That ... Showing RESPECT ...
Makes Some Feel weak ...

So They ...
REFUSE To Do THIS ...
When Walking Streets ... !!!

But BLAMING Them ...
Is .... TOO EASY .... !!!

I Blame The ... " Things " ...
The Media ... FEEDS ...

Violence and ... BRUTALITY ...
Are Messages ... The Children SEE ...

Why NOT GIVE THEM ... " Poetry " ... !!!

From ...
Men and Women ...
Just Like ... Me ...

Instead of ... *** ...
and ... UPPITY Teens ... !!!
Cos' THIS Has NOW ...
INFECTED ... Streets ...

So ... Let Me Make ...
This Piece ... COMPLETE ...

It's COOL To Greet ...
People You ... Meet ...
With Some Respect ...

That's STRONG ...
NOT ... " Weak " ... !!!!!

What Does It ... " Cost " ... ?
To ... Use Your SPEECH ...
and Show ... RESPECT ...
To ... KEEP The Peace ...

Respect IS ... EARNED ...
Okay ... That's TRUE ... !!!

But Why Get ... HURT ...
Cos' ... Only A FOOL ...
Would Think That's Cool ... !?!

USE Your Mouth ...
It's A ... Useful Tool ... !!!

and USE These Words ...

THESE TWO .......

... " Thank You " ...

So ... Is It Wise ...
To ... " Commercialise " ... ?!?

Just To Get ...
A ... Short-Lived Prize ... ???

Where's It Got Us ... ?
Showing LOVE ...
To YES ... FAKE Thugs ... !?!

RIDICULOUS ... " Cribs " ... !!!
To Cars For ... " Pimps " ... !!!

Is This The Way ...
We NEED To ... Live ... ?!?

****** SPREES ...
******* ... !!!

Accompanied By ...
WEAK ... Hip Hop Beats ... !!!

That's Just ... ME ...
That's What I SEE ...

I Guess That's ... NOT ...

........ " REALITY " ....... ???

OF COURSE It ... IS ... !!!!!

So LISTEN ... " Kids " ...
You WON'T ... Live Long ...
With ... " Guns and Clips " ... !!!!!!

When They're ATTACHED ...
To ... ANGRY Hips ... !!! ...

DON'T RUSH To Kiss Lips ...
Or .... Hold A Drink ....

USE Your Brain ...
Take Time and ... THINK ... !!!!!

Money Comes EASY ... !!!
Money Goes ... EASY ... !!!

So ...
MAKE That ... " Cash " ...
But ... DON'T Act FLASH ... !!!
Cos' Nowadays ...
You'll Be ... AMAZED ...
At How ... JEALOUSY ...
Can Bring ... " SAD Days " ... !!!

Villains ... Right NOW ...
are ... ILLin' and Killin' ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRUST Me Now ...
This AIN'T ... Fulfilling ... !!!

EVERYBODY's ... Billing ...
But Tell Me ... Are You Willing ... ?

To STOP Young People ...
Resorting To ... KILLING ... !!?!!

I'd Rather Be ... " Chilling " ... !!!
and ... Use MY BRAIN ...
To KEEP ... INSTILLING ...
A BETTER Way ...
of Life and ... LIVING ... !!!

Like ...
GOOD ... " Upbringing " ... !!!
By ... Men and Women ... !!!

This Was THE THING ...
That Kept ... FULFILLING ...
My ... " Early Life " ...
When LOVE Was Something ...
In ... My SIGHT ... !!!

So ...
Is it ... " Wise " ...
To ... COMMERCIALISE ... ???
When This Can Make ...
Some People ... LIE ... ?!?

" Eyes ON THE PRIZE ! " ...

But ... Selfish Guys ...
May Be ... SURPRISED ... !?!

By ...
What They ... " FIND " ...
In ... Financiers MINDS ... !!!

Let's GO BACK ...........................
To ... EARLIER Times ...

Cos' ...
Banks In The CITY ...
Have ... SLAVERY Ties ... !!!

Now THAT's NOT NICE ... !!!

Could You ...
Place A ... PRICE ...
On A ... Human Life ... ?!?

How About ... " A Child " ...
With ... TEAR FILLED Eyes ... !!?!!

How About ... YOU ... ?
What Would You Do ... ?

If Someone ... BOUGHT ...
How You Could ... "MOVE" ... ???

Well ....
THAT Was THEN ...
and THIS Is ... NOW ... !!!

"Money Makes The
World Go Around !!!"

DON'T ................... IGNORE That ... !!!!!

THAT IS ... " Profound " ...

UNLIKE ... These Words ...

"I Live for Pounds !"

Live For ... LIVING ... !!!

NOT ... Blood Spilling ... !!!!
Or ... NEEDLESS Killing ... !!!!!

Cos' Things Like THIS ...
Give Lows ... NOT HIGHS ... !!!

Unlike LOVE ...
From ... Feminine Thighs ... !!!

I'll End This ... THERE ...
For ... " MONEY GUYS " ...
With ... VIOLENT Ties ... !!!

Cos I'd ...
Rather Have ... LOVE ...
and Try To Be ... WISE ...

Than ...
Live My Life ...

To .......

...... " Commercialise " ......

Do You Have ... " Visions " ... ?
of A ... " Better Life " ...
  
" Visions of " ... A Home ...

When I Have Time ...    
And Describe ... My Visions ...  
Through ... " Poetic Rhymes " ...  
  
Words and Pictures ...

In ... " My Mind " .......

Stevie Wonders' ... Lines ... !!!!!
  
A Man With ... " Vision " ...
But ... " No Sight " ... !!!  
  
A Man ... Whose Words ...
SHINE Like ... SUNLIGHT ... !!!  
  
If You Were ... "blind" ...
  
What Would You Write ... ???
If ... What You HEARD ...
Became ... Your Sight ... ???
  
Stevie's Proved ...
Throughout His Life ...  
  
" Visions " ... Come ...  
From ... " DEEP INSIDE " ...  
And Come From ... " Those " ...  
Who ... USE Their Mind ... !!!  
  
... " Inner Visions " ...
... " Superstition " ...  
  
Both Are ...  
Stevies' Compositions ... !!!
  
His Visions Have ...
INSPIRED ME ... !!!
  
Since I Bought ...
" My First " ... LP ... !!!!!!
  
My Use of Words ...  
Has ... " Factual Visions " ... !!!!!
  
But Some ... Prefer ...  
To Write ... " Pure Fiction " ...
  
If That's ... " Your Way " ...  
Then .... " That's Okay " .... !!!
I Can't Tell You ... !!!  
What You Should Say ... !!!!!
  
But .....
Have An ... Opinion ...
  
So ...  
What's Your Position ... ???
  
Are ... YOUR Visions ... ?
FACT ... or ... FICTION ... ?
  
Do You .... Visualize .... ?  
A ... " Wonderland " ... ???  
  
Or ...  
Are You ... HERE ... ?
In ... This Here Land ... ???
  
Writing Things .....
  
For The Good of Man ... !?!
