“Point The Finger” … Written & performed by Big Virge

Yes Yes People !!!
Yes Yes People !!!
So, what’s going on in your world right now ?
Well, having just watched a very interesting movie about Botswanas’ not so distant history, of race driven shenanigans, that included, quite a bit of finger pointing by the British & South African Governments, ” A United Kingdom “, is a film that serves as a great reminder of the danger of pointing fingers, without justification, especially when yours are clearly, NOT SO CLEAN …. !!!!!!!
Fast forward to today, and there’s so much to think on these days, that connect to …..
” Fingers Being Pointed ” …..
…. that has led to much that we see in the world today.
Especially the modern political landscape of today, as pressures increase, safety concerns continue to disturb, from Migrants apparently, causing problems to Italy’s Southern Coastlines, to Brexit’ talks continuing to apparently, falter ….
…. and talking of faltering ….
NOT, that it was a failure, but sadly, it doesn’t look as though we’ll get to see Mr. Usain Bolt, pointing his arms and fingers to the air in celebration of a major championship 100 metre victory again ….
Ah well, such is life, but I have to quickly give props to this legendary athlete, for all his achievements on the track, and hopefully now, what he should translate into an, off the track legacy, that will not only help Jamaica, in multiple ways, but also, young athletes all over the world, to be inspired to achieve, something even comparable to the, ” Lightning Mans’ “, achievements.
Well done Usain, great career man !!!
However, back to this idea of pointing fingers, well, The Trumpster’ is hiring and firing as quickly as he can point his fingers clearly, Korea are pointing fingers at the US, as are Russia now, and Venezuela and Brazil, seem to have a lot of pointing going on, of much more than fingers sadly ….
and Of Course, one cannot forget the Grenfell Tower Blaze survivors, who are also pointing fingers at the UK Government and wanting, not only answers, but a place to lay their heads, after what now seems to be accepted as Corporate Manslaughter, so, I wonder whether judges will have the balls to point some MP’s to Jail, with no chance of getting Bail, or, a …
” Get Out of jail Free ” … card … !?!
Unlikely …… !!!
… as it seems to be unlikely that Barbadians will do anything more than, walk and talk about, how tight things now are in this island paradise, because of Prime Minister Freundel Stuart, pointing to who knows what, to ensure his legacy of governance is not forgotten, for quite some time …..
So, for this month, as there does seem to be a lot of this going on, right about now ……
Some verse worth pondering before you join the brigades doing it ……
I suggest you check YOURSELF, before thinking you can do it …..

“April Who ? ” … written & performed by Big Virge
Posted by Virge | Filed under Performance, Vocals
Yes Yes People !!!
Well, i’m back to sharing some thoughts on this crazy world of ours…..
…. from more political wrangles to, Nuclear tests, Brexit of course, the French Election, and North Korean moves to, President Trumps’, first 100 or so days in office, there has been much that could be deemed as foolish, of recent …….
So, as the month of April ends……
It struck me a while ago, that it seems a little unfair to give the burden of encompassing all the Fools on this earth, and their Foolish actions, one day of acknowledgment … being April the 1st ?!?
…. when it’s pretty clear now, that Foolishness runs 24/7, somewhere on this earth, within someones’ movements, actions or behaviour …..
So, this month’s little ditty gets into this day, and the fools of this earth, and suggests that April shouldn’t really have to carry the load, all on her own ……
So, take a listen…..
and don’t feel bad, if you deserve a fools cap …..
We’ve all been there at some time or another …..

” I Go ” … A poem written & performed by Big Virge
Posted by Virge | Filed under Performance, Vocals
So folks, another month of 2016 gone, and we approach the end of the year, and the beginning of a new one, that will, as ever, be filled with many comings and goings …..
Obama goes … as Trump comes to the Whitehouse, Brexit’, well, who knows whether it’s coming or going, and if so, exactly how it will be effected … ???
Today, the indication is that there will be a new Italian PM, in 2017 ???
A lot of footballers are coming to the table, to expose the incredible levels of apparent, player abuse by British coaches !!!!!
Right wing movements across Europe, bar Austria, of all places, are on the go, and seemingly, on the rise …..
(A third of Austria’s populous voting for a Far Right group, should not though, be overlooked !)
Racism is definitely on the go, as ever, and immigration may well be the next thing to go, in terms of borders being open, to those escaping Syria in particular, but, I think that this is an excuse to keep more than Syrians, or more importantly, Muslims out of Europe …. and if Trump has his way, out of America too …..
Fidel gone, so who knows where Cuba will end up, in the coming months and years ???
Oh and just one quick mention of the case that has, somehow, found it’s way to being a mistrial … ?!?
…. that of, the shooting of Walter Scott by a certain, Officer Slager, as described in the piece, Open Season, which I posted recently …..
Looks like Officer Slagers’ case will be, yet another, to go on the list of cases against the police, that have left the victims family without any sense of justice, or respect for the fact, that, their loved one was essentially, gunned down in cold blood, by one charged with the duty to … ” Serve & Protect ” …
YEAH RIGHT … !!!!!
So many things going on …..
I figure that it’s time for me to explain and show, some of the places that I have been and will continue to …. Go …….
So, here are some of the places that ……..

Election Week, so, a good time to speak on … ” Cliques ” … A Poem written & performed by Big Virge …
Posted by Virge | Filed under Vocals
So, after last month, speaking on the lack of certain things, this month I speak on something, we could probably do with a few less of … !!!!!
Now, I never really was one for, fitting into them …..
However, of course, like most young men, I ran with a crew or two, but, always felt that the dynamic held, hidden agendas, ulterior motives, and invariably, a lot of suckers and, lying Motha’ F’kers …..
Not much has changed in my opinion, from artistry, to a great many things in this world …..
So, for this subject, even though I wrote this, basically, ten years ago, it’s content is pertinent and relevant, especially as it’s been quite a year for the exposure of many of these collectives, The BREXIT Cliques, JOKERS … !!!!!
The FIFA Cliques, of the seemingly, money grabbing, embezzling, deceitful members, of it’s hierarchy ….
The Drug Cheat Cliques, and their cohorts ….
The … INCREDIBLY Deceitful, Ryan Lochte, Clique … Tut Tut Tut ….
The Paedophile Cliques of the BBC and seemingly, much further afield in the, apparently, not so … ” Uni ted ” … Kingdom ?!?
(Again -JOKERS !?!)
The EU Clique ….
The … Of course, “Black Lives Matter” ….
and …. ” ALL Lives Matter ” … Cliques …
ISIS, Terrorist Cliques, and the cliques that, THREATEN, Western Freedoms & Liberties…. whatever they are ….
Which of course, brings me to … The Police …
A Clique who work to preserve our freedoms and safety, well, if you believe that, then you are probably part of the Trump, and ….
Hold on … Wait a minute, Clinton Cliques too … !!!!!!
So, for most people, it would seem that, they fit into one or t’other of these cliques ….
I’m happy to be part of a … “very small clique” … !!!
Well, a virtually, non-existent one, who wants to use artistry to expose these Fukwits …. for what they are … SHEEP … or, better defined, SHEOPLE’, who bleat, more than they, claim their …
INDIVIDUALITY ….
So, as we are in the heat of US, Presidential Election week, in the, again, CLEARLY ….
NOT SO …. Uni ted …..
States of America …..
Due to their, Democrat & Republican Cliques,
(Both being, JOKERS who embrace the use of … BIG GUNS, BOMBS and, BIGGER EGOS !!!)
This piece would seem to fit perfectly with much that we’ve seen in 2016 …. and sadly, throughout, human history …
” Cliques ” …..

” Open Season ” … A Poem written & performed by Big Virge …
Posted by Virge | Filed under Vocals
Hmmmm ….
Well, Olympics or not !!!!!
COME ON Usain …. !!!!!!
Certain subjects, Nah get dropped …. !!!!!
The cops and this whole …
Black Lives Matter Phenomena ….
Well,
Opinions are a plenty fa sure … !!!!!
So, of course, I have a few ………….
However, this piece was written soon after, the ….. (not so much mentioned) ….. Walter Scott EXECUTION, by some extraordinarily, ” Trigger Happy “, cop !?!?!
Anyhow, much surrounds these events, like different attitudes that come to light from people, of course, from races not directly affected by these horrendous killings of people, who, innocent or not, don’t get a chance to explain themselves to anybody but ….
Well …..
BULLETS, or the apparently, ” Humane Hands “, of law enforcement officers …. !! ? !!
Crazy ish’ people ….. ?!?
…. and of course, London now increasing it’s armed police presence, coincidentally, days before an incident in Russell Square, and a Black Lives Matter protest, that affected people trying o get to Heathrow, for a number of personal reasons on Friday morning ….
NOT …. !!!
…. the subtlest way to get your message heard, but, it has drawn media attention, so, England ISN’T, quite the bed of tolerance and unified thinking, as has been so readily reported, and argued …. since the arrival of people of different races, to basically, every arena in which the media presents itself, sports and EVEN, politics, so, things are fine right … ?!?
Weellllllll …..
Maybe not, if todays protest suggests there to be things, to be concerned about ???
The subsequent, television coverage, had an interview was with an activist, who was an articulate young lady, who was explaining that, although killings of the style in the US, are honestly, not so prevalent ….. in the UK …..
Smaller country, different laws ….. etcetera etcetera ….
Convictions in the instances of police inefficiency, which results in loss of black lives, are basically, non-existent, and have been, for a considerable time now ….
So, more armed police will result in what, exactly, less gun play … ???
I think NOT, but, time will tell ……
and one final thing here, with regard to policing globally, i’m talking the extreme cases of loss of life, but, let’s not pretend that general interactions with police are being run with the professionalism, and, public courtesies, that people should expect from those who apparently …. SERVE US …. ?!!!?
The ideal of how people are stereotyped by colour, also lends itself to a very subtle, but effective, form of white superiority and control ….
So …. do ….. ???
White Glass Ceilings exist still …. ???
…. in the hierarchies of these arenas where people of varying, darker skinned races, are now seemingly, “Fitting in”, quite nicely, and doing good things …….
Just questions … ???
However, there are divisions within those same, different shades, that aren’t always so readily brought to light, because of again, the veneer of … well ….
” Getting Along ” ……
Well, as a man who has grown with all types of races, nationalities & colours, which applies to the ladies too, there are certain mixtures that aren’t so common ….
Not ReeeeeEALLY’ …
…. but people just play it down, because sticking to ones’ own, is the way to go …..
Really … ???
… with so many varieties in the world to choose from …
Not everyman wants a … BIG BOOTY, or, fair-skinned, SAME SKINNED … !!! … ting’, to get his groove on with, as with the ladies now clearly.
So, don’t, for one second.
…. think that words you hear, indicate a man who does not see the positive effects of integration, from business, to personal interactions now, however, things in essence, remain at the core, the same …. and do need to be, i’d say, ” Re-Arranged “, just a bit ……
and one of the things at the top of my list, is the subject of the lyrics in this poem …..
So, as the Olympics get in full swing, with it’s opening ceremony today in Rio …..
There are a few things that are … Open …
right about now,
So, I warn you, NOW …
DO NOT ….
…. press play, unless you’re ready to deal with REAL subject matter …. that’s leaving lives SHATTERED …. !!!!!
While …..
#BlackLivesMatter …… ???

” Patience ” … A Poem written & performed by Big Virge
Posted by Virge | Filed under Deliberating, Vocals
All I will say is …..
The way people seem to be behaving these days, due to their shades, and varying …. ways …..
A lot of folks could probably do with, A LOT OF THIS, from themselves and certain, influential heads …..
The poem speaks on these things, in what it expresses …. and more …..
STOP THE VIOLENCE ….
Once …. and …. FOR ALL.
