#represent poems on Hello Poetry

Descovia Nov 2022

Never had a problem with a sister or brother of color from another mother.

I am all for fun and games. You see?

I love the idea of seeing, COLORFUL Yoshis enjoying rainbow sherbert ice cream on a hot unforgiving summer day.

I have more shades of color, than the pride flag representing LBGQT community all the way.

If the color of my skin, serves to be a threat or issue. My darkness, is a problem for you? When we are not far, from each other on the shade spectrum?

I believe you are in the wrong on your perspective of darkness. You worried about the WRONG darkness. When we bleed the same red!? Shame on you. I never wished for your downfall. I been down with falls filling me, my soul suffering accompanied with dread. I'd be a different person worse than hell, if I ever ignored my family's teachings and all the rightful words, of what any mindful mentor ever said.

******* racism. You and your whole clique can drop dead.

“Represent” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 29//11/2020

Now What I REPRESENT...
Is A Gift To Express...
Through THOUGHT FILLED Poems...

A Wish To See STRENGTH...
In MORE Peoples' Mindset...
That DENIES IGNORANCE...
And Acts of NONSENSE... !!!

Like VIOLENCE Bred...
From HATRED That’s Fed...

By Colour Or Numbers...
Who Are... “ Woke “...
But... STILL SLUMBER... !?!

When It Comes To The Ways...
That They Access Their Brains...

I Represent Heads...
Who Are TRULY GIFTED... !!!

So DON’T Follow New Trends...
When They Know That They SET...

NEW Trends And PRECEDENTS...
That This Planets People...

DON'T Seem Ready For Yet... !!!

Because of Minds FEEBLE...
Who Represent... LESS...
Than WISDOM Filled Heads...
Who Can See What’s AHEAD...

Like The Kind of PROBLEMS...
That MOST Heads REJECT...

Like The RISE of NEW TECH...
And Moves That Suggest...
That Something Is FOUL...
In Futures With DARK CLOUDS... !!!

Cos’ They're TRAPPED In The NOW...
So CAN'T See What Is Down...
The Path of... Future Roads...

I Represent THOSE...
Who Come From Such Folds...
Who Write CLEVER Prose...
As Well As Rhyme Flows...

That REAL Hip Hoppers Know... !!!
Are WORTHY of NOTE... !!!

When It Comes To The WOES...
That Their Rhyme Flows EXPOSE... !!!

Like Darkness That GROWS...
In Impoverished Zones...
And Gang Violence Shown...
That These Moguls PROMOTE... !!!

BEFORE WISE Conscious Quotes... ?!?

And INTELLIGENT Guys...
Who Visualise Rhymes...
That Are BEFORE Their Time... !!!

An... Interesting Line... !?!

That Represents THINKING...
That’s DEEP Like Ships Sinking... !!!

To Represent Thoughts...
That Can PREDICT A Vision...
About FUTURE Living...
Or Thoughts That When Sourced...

Produce... Outcomes Born...
For Things NOT Seen Before... !!!

Other Than In The Minds...
of Those GIFTED With Levels...
of Using Their Mental...
In Ways That Unsettle...
And DISHEVEL Devils... !!!

Who Represent NOTHING...
But PRIDE Driven FRONTING... !!!

Pushing And Shuvving...
And Talk UNBECOMING...
of Standing For Something...

And Yes... REPRESENTING...
In Ways That Are TELLING...

Like Those Who Show LOVE...
Even When IGNORANCE...
Is What Is... Presented... !!!

By Heads Who Run Talk...
That Represents WAR...
Because They Can’t See...
That Sometimes What We Need...

Is To Represent Something...
Like.... HUMILITY... !!!

And Make... APOLOGIES... !!!
Instead of Let Nonsense...
Direct How They Be... !!!

And Maybe Just Maybe...
Represent Being FREE...
To Simply... AGREE...
To That’s Right DISAGREE... !!!

But Still Find HARMONY...
That Represents PEACE...
As Well As... UNITY... !!

Rather Than Represent...
A Wish To Feed STRESS...

To... Creative Heads...
Who Choose To Express...
Through Verse And Poems...

Balance And Values...
of... HIGH EXCELLENCE... !!!

That Are Things...
That My Wordplay And I...

.... “ Represent “....

You gotta represent something, and these words explain what it is, like the poem says, that in my case, they and I represent.

Gabbing With No Gavel, Judging With No Honors

Take all your taxes and see if you aren't able to get more done with them
Then those that represent you.
Do those that do, really represent you
Or do they resent you?
And secretly tread with scorn?
If you truly want change, seek an office
Grab a gavel
Do your part

Dear Class of 2020

I put on my cap and gown and went outside.
The wind was gentle and the sun was warm.
My gown was smooth, soft, and it made me happy.
My cap was light and ready to be thrown miles.
The moment comes and the moment passes.
My gown's still folded on the counter with my cap on top.
Neither has been worn, what's the point?
Maybe someone can use it in the future.
I'll just save it for them.

Covid kinda *****.
I was listening to "Saintlike" by Jakey when I started writing this.

Dear Technicolor Child

Psychological warfare
been there
been square
ain't fair
but you gotta run with it
listen, i know it is hard to be different
But we s'posed to be
this the life that we livin
livin, Are you really living?
Are you really listening to the words i say
take it day by day child

And it ain't breezy to be bold
to be the type that will speak up loud without the choke
And it ain't easy to be the punch line that can't be told
an absent cough preceding a milky ****
Dearly departin'
I'm not a g but i move how the move with a head full of smarts man(j.s.)

Just remember that when your self care gets put on hold
you leave your own fire out in the cold.
And what a shame you're always learning
opposed what you were told

dear child don't let them steal the light emitting from your soul- you can't even put down the shovel to realize you diggin' yourself deep ina hole
Before you heal it's gonna be a while
I know it's gonna be a while child

chin up child don't let em win
protect yourself, love yourself and nurture what stirs within
and man ignore the knocking- don't open the door
in the fifth dimension you still rocking the crown that your ancestors wore
but with it comes the blood sweat 'nd tears that they hoard
don't get it twisted you're simply a new vessel that your family bore
Don't explain anymore.
watch your company mama they clouding up your aura

too many people claiming to be woke whilst walkin' in they sleep
sometimes all you gotta do is close your eyes
to unmask the wolves disguised as sheep

we livin' it up but when the street lights be flashin'
we dashin' we ain't be lookin' back to notice who is or isn't laggin'
Ya son's been running the streets
then runnin' the sheets with loose babies makin cursed babies
Dear child

Sometimes i try not to make the song cry
Jay Z
baby
my own mama hate me
But i don't sweat a drop
cause I grew into the cream of the crop
Destined to find the path that will lead my flesh to the top

and with each day that passes by i'll laugh i'll cry i'll learn
became the flame- now watch me burn
AHG mama we made it!
AHG you really hate it!
you n your mans can get up, get down
AHG wait
ya'll way too faded
Dear child
and when the song starts to cry I don't hold back
in fact
i let it seep into your souls
only my art can fill these holes
despite ya'll moles
im out

Erykah Badu
Big Pooh
Little brother
My brother
My sisters

Haven't You Heard

Haven't You heard?

The great wave represents
so
much
more

Mona Lisa's smile is not happy
Let me tell you why

You just don't understand
what it means

Maybe if you were more in tune
With yourself
And your soul
You would know what they were saying
What they were expressing
With each color
Each stroke

Haven't you heard
The answer is definite
I know for sure
What they represent
What they mean
Don't you feel the same way?

Trago amargo

Yo me tomo la vida
en el ahora.

El tiempo es solo
mi forma de contemplar.
pues cuando un rayo nos borre.

No habrá quien contemple
al dios del tiempo.

Present

~
The few should never represent
the many.
~

No one, not even a celebrity, should speak for you or represent you.
Do that yourself. I'm speaking to every single race out there.
Because as soon as a celebrity says something you dislike or disagree with,
YOU are the ones who get all up in your feelings. Their mistakes should never represent a community as a whole. This is one of the many reasons why I stopped putting celebrities on pedestals.
Man, I'm so glad I now have downtime! ^^
Thank you guys so much for your patience!
Working on the Masked Bard series now!
