” Apocalyptic Times ” … A Poem written by Big Virge 31/7/2007
Posted by Virge | Filed under Musings
This Poem seems rather appropriate right now !
As I am currently residing in the Caribbean, these words are RINGING …
A Little TOO TRUE ….. Sadly …. !!!!
These rhymes … Reflect …
APOCALYPTIC Times … !!!
Times where minds …
are …………… Dismissing ………………………………………….. Signs …… !!!!!
That times ahead …..
Will see … BLOODSHED …
and … Loss of Life … !!!!! …
Times where … Crimes …
Refine … Bloodlines … !!!!!!
Like … ” Old Designs ” …
Primed to … ” Div-id-e ” …
Apocalyptic … times …
Reside inside …
Deep Seas with … ” Tides ” …
Now On … The rISE …
Just like … The Minds …
of … WICKED … Types … !!!!!!
whose Pride … DENIES …
to help the … ” Plight ” …
of those who … STRIVE …
Just to … ” Survive ” …
and Live a … ” Good Life ” …
The Type … who like …
to see us … Fight …
Like … ” Dogs in Bogs ” …
Fed On … WAR Songs …
and Words of … HATE … !?!
A Time and Place …
where … Technological Tools …
are used to … School …
our youth to … Abuse …
Like … VIOLENT Fools … !!!!!
VIOLENCE … Will Rule … !!!
Like DEVILS … Who …
Infuse with … Views …
That … Lead to … FEUDS … !!!
Which would … You Choose … ?!?
APOCALYPTIC … News … ?
or a place where … ” Love ” …
REIGNED … Up Above … !!!!!!
Just like … SUNSHINE …
in the … ” Summertime ” …
Well ….
Rhymes Like … ” These ” …
Paint … Different … scenes …
Scenes … OBSCENE … !!!!!
and ……. Far From …………………………………………………Clean … !!!!
Where ….
Peoples’ Dreams …
are … “FILLED WITH” … SCREAMS … !!!
Am I …. SCARING You … ?!?
If so … Not Cool … !!!
Why would you choose … ?
to take … The View …
That … What I Say …
Makes You … AFRAID … ?!?!?
Apocalyptic Trips …
May Well …. ECLIPSE … !!!
The Place in which …
Your Thinking ….. ” Lives ” ……
OUTSIDE … “TheBox” …
is where … Mine Is … !!!!!!
NOT IN …. ” Laptops ” ….
or …. VIOLENT … Stings … !!!
I Deal with … NOW …
and what … Surrounds …
Before i’m … CLOWNED …
and end up … “Drowned” … !!!!!
Or …
Worse yet … DEAD …
Like … Youthful Heads …
As … ” Current Trends ” …
would now … ” Suggest ” …
In Fact …. CONFIRM …. !!!!!!
Does it make you …
…….. ” Squirm …….. ? ”
to Read … Such words … !?! …
Well …….
Here’s a … ” Verse ” …
to … CALM … Your Nerves … !!!
They’re ONLY … ” Words ” … !!!!!!
That show … CONCERN …
About the world …
and how … it turns …
If we … ” Observe ” …
We may just … ” Learn ” …
How to … STEM This … SURGE … !!!
of Pain and … Hurt … !!!!!!
and make a … RETURN …
to Life being … PRESERVED … !!!!!
Let The DEVILS … Burn ……………………………………………….
and Make … PEACE WORK … !!!!!
Like … UNITY …
cos’ things like … ” These ” …
Will Help … ” Relieve ” ……………………………
Our Streets of … BEASTS … !!!
And …. ” POVERTY ” ….
And …. News Stories …
of … KILLING Sprees … !!!?!!!
Our Youth … are DYING …
Don’t You … SEE … ?!!!? …
These words are … TRYING …
to FEED … Our Seeds …
with … Something MORE …
Than ……. ” MTV ” …….. !!!!!!!!!!
BUT ….
Here’s The … SCORE … !!!
Too Many … ” Elders ” … TOO … !?!
are PROMOTING …. Wars ……
WITHOUT …. A Cause …. !!!?!!!
and NEED TO … ” Reduce ” …
Their … ANGRY … Moods … !!!
” Don’t try to front ! ”
” You know it’s true ! ”
Why take the view
that I’m … TOO BLUNT … ?!?
The time has … COME …
to …. ” Listen Up ” ……
and Fill …. ” Eardrums ” …
Like Kweli’ … Does … !!!
with words that … ” Soothe ” …………………….
and HELP … ” Improve ” …
The Minds who … ” Choose ” …
APOCALYPTIC … Moves … !!!!!
Like …
Dropping …. BOMBS …
That Breed … ” Phantoms ” …
and …. ” Tsunamis ” …. !!! ….
Do you ….
Get The …. ” Scene ” …. ???
NO TREES ….
NO LEAVES ….
NO …
Ice Caps left ….
Just …. WAR and DEATH … !!!!!
I Guess …. ?
to … ” Most of You ” …
This seems ……………………………………………………. ” Far Fetched ” ……
But …
THINK IT …. Through ……
What’s coming …. ” Next ” …. ?!?
FLOODING … Here …
and Flooding … THERE … !!!!
and then …. HEATWAVES …. !!!
that send … SHOCKWAVES … !!!
As Fires … BLAZE …
For …. DAYS and DAYS …. !!!!!
APOCALYPTIC …. Yes … !!!
So ….
What do you say … ?
Does THIS Poem …
and it’s … Wordplay …
Make … You Think …
I NEED A … ” Shrink ” … ?!?
Maybe … I DO … ???
But here’s the … ” Koo’ ” …
Apocalyptic things ….
ARE …… Happening …… !!!!!
CLOSER … to home …
and that’s … NO JOKE … !!!!!
Most folk … are BROKE … !!!
Or … SNORTING … Coc’ … !!!
With ….
NOWHERE … to go …
to find some … ” Hope ” … !!!
” OH I’M A PESSIMIST ! ”
” If You Insist ! ”
I’m simply …
writing things …
Through … ” Poetic Scripts ” …
That … Reflect how …
I Feel …
Right NOW …
Some Music … ” FILLED ” ……..
My Mind with …. THIS ….
Thoughts of … GLOOM …
and MUCH … “Darkness” … !!!!!
A … ” Discreet Flava ” …
DARKER THAN … ” Vader ” … !!!
Try to …. DENY …
and you … ” May Find ” …
That ….
What You … FIGHT …
Inside … ” Your Mind ” …
is the ….
TRUTH About ………
What’s ….. Coming …..

…. And … Something Musical, from Inity Fyah … Prod. by Strat Carter
Posted by Virge | Filed under Musings
Well what can one say about recent issues of the badge and gun variety eh folks … !!?!!
Well, I really don’t know these days, apart from hypocrisy & over-reaction are INDEED …
ONE HELL OF A DRUG … !!!!
to take the words from Rick James ….
An ambiguous statement from me, about much that sticks very closely to ambiguity
but, to me, it is really quite CLEAR & SIMPLE …
The Po’ Po’ are dealing in a bunch of it, and black folks ….
YUP, you there running with it too, as well as,
receiving THE BRUNT OF IT … !!?!!
A lot of things get said, AFTER … DISTURBING Events … !!!!!!
Rather than ensuring, we, CONSTANTLY, work with things that prevent
unnecessary events & deaths ….
Okay, nuff said.
I gine’ let another man represent, pon’ such subjects, for a sec ….
This is a tune that’ll make you reflect
whilst making you move and nod ya head … !!!!!
Nuff Respek’ to the brothers ….
Inity Fyah & Strat Carter ….
You never know, one day they might do a full project ???
But this fuh’ sure, I think y’all should check ….

” What Cause is it that they, REALLY, Stand For … ?!? ” … A Poem written by Big Virge 10/11/2013
Posted by Virge | Filed under Musings
Following on from my previous post, when it comes to police tactics in situations warranting use of their arrest powers …. a suitable question would be, Why Do They Do It ?
However ….
Now that Eric Garner & Mike Brown,
amongst others, have died,
due to police encounters,
and won’t be returning …
and now that ……..
Judiciary inquiries have produced,
NO INDICTMENTS … !?!
So Many … Protests !!!
So Much … Rhetoric !!!
So Much … Media Talk !!!
Well, I have another question,
for everybody in truth,
from celebs, to looters,
but, specifically for,
smart-mouthed white folks ….
and that question is ….
So … what cause is it ?
that they REALLY … stand for ?!?
because nowadays …
i’m getting … Irate …
due to … ” Fancy Talk ” …
from those … NOT POOR … ?!?
About ….
” How they help,
and can’t do more … !!! ”
or … is that … WON’T … ?!?
when they come from
……. WEALTH ……..
and … Ignorant Hoards …
Families … “FILLED” …
with … ” Separatist Wills ” …
Talking of … ” WILLS ” … !!!
What’s left for them … ???
Monetary Problems … ???
or a cause … instilled …
to change … ” Their Ilk ” …
from … ” Lusting ” … for bills …
Yen … or … Pounds … ?!?
How does that sound … ?
if you’re … ” One of Them ” … !?!
Does your cause stem … ?
from a wish to … END …
… ” Elite Ignorance ” … !?!?!
The type that … ” Defends ” …
White Men who … ” Pretend ” …
to … Give A Damn …
about … Black man …
when the truth is … THIS … !!!
Their talk is … WEAK … !!!!!
cos’ they’re … “Human Sheep” …
who THINK … their skin …
gives them … the right …
to say … What They Like … !!!
about things in sight …
As if black minds …
are … Completely Blind … !?!
to the cause of things …
When … Pressure Liks’ … !!!!!!!!
Like … it is … NOW … !!!!!
Now that things are … FOUL …
They’re …. ” CRYING OUT ” …
for … ” THINGS TO CHANGE ” … !!!
Well okay …
That’s GREAT … !!!!!
But …
” Back in the day ” …
when … ” Momma had slaves ! ”
ALL OVER THE PLACE … !!!!!
Were they … CRYING … back then … ???
for slaves …. BETTERMENT …. !?! ….
and … Educating them …
about … ” RACISM ” …
and ……
EXPOSING … THE TRUTH
about … ” Daddy’s Boardroom ” … ?!?
I’m a bit … ” Confused ” … ???
as to …. ” The Cause ” ….
They seemed to …. ignore ….
that they now …. ” IMPLORE ” ….
as if it’s … NEW …
and should be … USED … !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear … REVOLUTION …
coming from … White Lips …
Oh so …
That’s a … SOLUTION … !!!
Well …..
I’ve got to ask … THIS … !?!
When the Ku Klux Klan …
were hanging … Black Man … !!!
Were they and their fam’ … ?
Taking … THAT STAND … !!!?!!!
“Oh, that was the past !”
“Man, kiss my arse !”
Ignorance was … ” Bliss ” … !!!
Until the pinch … FLIPPED … !!!
and hit ….. ” New Skins ” …… !!!
… ” Financial Tricks ” …
” New Age ” …. Racists ….
” Politics ” … in the mix …
of … ” Corrupting Things ” … !!!
Isn’t this how … ???
it’s always been … ?!?!?
“Well, that was then !
This is now !”
are the … ” Usual Sounds ” …
that come from mouths …
who act like … CLOWNS … !!!
but are quick to … “drown” …
The sounds of thoughts
coming from black minds
as if we’re inclined …
to run …. WEAK TALK … !!!
that is … ” Biased ” … Fa Sure … !!!!
when it seems … Our Cause …
is just … ” Talk That HAUNTS ” … !!!!!
See …
They’ve always got an answer … !!!
As if they are …. ” Smarter ” …. !!!!!!!
Than blacks who take time …
to … Dis-sect … their lives …
and all their … ” Charters ” …
that have made life … HARDER … !!!
Even under …. ” Obama ” …. !!?!!
” Hypocritical Types ” …..
who … THINK … they’re cool …
cos’ they know … Black Folks … !!!
Who Enjoy … ” Their Jokes ” …
Well …..
I Ain’t … THAT BLOKE … !!!!!
and Don’t … deal in quotes …
that hold ….. NO WEIGHT ….. !!!!!
which is why they’re … AFRAID …
of the things I … RELATE …
in my ….. wordplay …..
I’m sick of them … ” Hearing ” … !!!
But NOT ……. ” Listening ” …….. !!!!!
because they’re … ” Adhering ” …
to … “limited” … Thinking …
“Limited by …”
Historical Ties …
They’d rather … DENY … !!!
as being … ” The Cause ” …
for … ” Veteran Wars ” …
and … Humanitys’ fall …
It’s NEVER … their fault … !!!
It was actually …
” The Force ” … !!!!!
“Oh, it was down to Star Wars !
wait a minute now, pause !”
Man i’ve got to laugh …
otherwise i’ll … FROWN … !!!
and decide to … TAKE DOWN …
Them and … ” Their Crowd ” …
of ….. ” KNOW IT ALLS ” ….. !!!!!
Who … ” Choose to Hear ” …
What Suits … their ears … !!!!
They … REALLY DO … !!!!!
and then … ” Run Talk ” …
when the … ” Penny Drops ” … !!!
as if they … KNEW …
what was … said before … ?!?
in talks that … ROCKED …
Their lil’ … ” Cotton Socks ” … !!!
“At the time I was wrong !
and just being headstrong !”
Well …
CLEARLY NOT … !!!!!
When they come back …
NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT … that …
They … ” Bought Into ” …
Fallacy Filled Views …
They’ve read in … ” Books ” …
or been fed … by the news …
It’s … CLEAR TO ME … !!!
We blacks should speak !!!
but … NOT ABOUT … ” Them ” … !!!!
or … ” The Cause ” …
They … DEFEND … ?!?
When they …
” Help The Poor ” …
by … doing stuff …
that’s a … ” Short-Term Fix ” …
So their … ” GUILT ” …
Can … ” Desist ” …
Well …..
Me and My … ” Chip ” …
now write … These Scripts …
that prove … ” My Cause ” …
Is NOT … about me … !!! …
But … EQUALITY …
for … EVERYBODY … !!!!!!!
Even if … i’m seen …
as the … ” Villain ” … of the piece
because it’s … CLEAR … !!!
I Really do … STAND TALL … !!!
and … DON’T MAKE … Dud calls … !!!
like those … whose actions …
” BETRAY ” … Thoughts …
that seem … ” Distracted ” …
from … This Question … Fa Sure … !!!!
” What Cause is it that they,
REALLY, Stand For … ?!? ”
