"Inspiration" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 7/11/2005

Inspiration I NEED ... !!!
Like ... RESPIRATION ... !!!
 
So My Inspiration Needs Sep-ar-a-tion ... !!!  
From POINTLESS Stuff Like ... Procrastination ... !!!!!  
   
I'm Inspired By Things ...  
That REALITY Brings ...  
Like Natures' Winds ...  
NOT Things That Bling ... !!!  
   
NO ... NOT The KING ... !!!    
But GODFATHERS And QUEENS of Soul ... !!!  
   
... ARETHA KNOWS ... !!!
 
Because She's A QUEEN ...  
of ... ROCK 'N' ROLL ... !!!!!  
   
I'm Inspired By KINGS ...  
Who Boxed In Rings ...  
 
..... ALI And TYSON ..... !!!  
WITHOUT ... Ear Biting ... !!!!!    
   
These Men Have Inspired Me ... !!!  
To Write Stuff Like This Poetry ...  
   
D'Angelo To Jill Scott Tones ...  
..... Hip Hop Groups ....  
Well You Know How That Goes ... !!!  
   
That List Would Be ...  
TOO LONG Fo' Sho' ... !!!!!  
   
But Here's A Few ...  
To Give You Clues ...  
of Some People I'm iNTO ... !!!  
   
Guru YES To Pharoahe Monch ...  
Then We Move To Yes Pete Rock ...  
Masta Ace To Raise The Pace ...    
A Tribe Called Quest ...  
Were One of The BEST ...    
Just Like Kris I Mean KRS ... !!!
   
Exponents of Rap Poetry ...  
Better Known As THIS ...  
   
......... " EMCEES " ..........  
   
Kind of Like BIG VIRGE ...
That's .... ME .... !?!    
   
Critical And Quizzical ... ?  
of Bureaucratic Policies ...  
Kind of Like ..........

INSPIRATION Comes  ...  
From Those Who DON'T ...  
Get BIG AWARDS ... !!!!!  
 
From Followers ....    
Who Just APPLAUD...    
But Don't Know What ...  
They're Clapping FOR ... !!!?!!!
   
I'm Inspired By TRUTH ...  
With ... FACTUAL PROOF ... !!!  
That What You're Getting ...  
   
... Touches YOU .... !!!!!  
   
Sport Has Given Me GREAT LIFTS ...  
The Cricket Team of ... 76' ...

With YES ... KING VIV ...  
 
Whose Batting Was A ...  
... WONDROUS GIFT ... !!!!!    
   
And INSPIRED Me ...  
When I Was A Kid .... !!!  
And I Was Lucky Enough ...  
To ... Bowl To HIM ... !!!!!!!  
   
INSPIRATION Can Come ...  
From A HIGHER PLACE ... !!!  
Like Stars Up There ...  
In .... OUTER SPACE ....  
   
SPIRITUALITY ... Inspires Me ...  
The POSITIVE USE of ENERGIES ...  
Also Known As This Word ... CHI ... !!!
   
BEAUTY Within ....    
Comes From Such Things ...    
SIMILAR To These ...  
   
I Like A Pretty Face ...  
But That's Just Me ... !!!  
   
So People PLEASE ....  
Hear Out My speech ... !!!  
   
NOT ONE Creation ...  
is ...... " UGLY " ...... !!!!!!!!  
   
Beauty In Terms  of What We See ...    
For EACH of Us Will Be ... UNIQUE ... !!!  
   
UNIQUENESS Inspires me .... !!!  
The Will To ..... BE .....
 
FREE of CHAINS And ... Hierarchies ... !!!  
Things Like THESE DO Displease Me ... !!!  
   
But POSITIVES Balance Negativity ... !!!
   
Balance and Positives INSPIRE Me ... !!!  
As Do THOSE Who Live In PEACE ... !!!  
   
Those Who REJECT Angry Fits ...  
And Those Who AREN'T ...  
... FOOLISH RACISTS ... !!!!!    
   
I Focus On Those ...  
Who Show Love For Me ...  
And CHERISH The Love ...  
I Give FOR ... FREE ... !!!  
   
It's FREE Like The Air ...  
We Humans Breathe ... !!!  
 
And Costs Less Than An MP3 ...    
Technology Is Good To See ...    
When We Use It PROPERLY ... !!!  
   
Inspiration Goes With ...  
... GOOD Education ... !!!  
   
Lessons From Life Help Me Survive ...    
And Inspire Me To Sit And Write ...  
About Inspirations That Give Me HIGHS ... !!!  
   
Like ... TRUTHFUL GUYS ...  
Whose Words Are WISE ...  
And REJECT Fake Chatter ... !!!
   
That Line's For JABBA ... !!!  
 
A Friend of Mine Who INSPIRES ME ...    
To Keep On Writing My Beliefs ...    
   
..... Utilising Poetry ... !!!  
   
And Thanks To Him ...  
I'm Developing Styles ...  
That'll Drive Some People ...  
   
PAST ..... " 8 Mile " ..... !!!!!!  
   
I Hope One Day ... ?  
That Crew Will Smile ... !!!    
   
And Say Maybe ... ???  
That Poetry From The ...  
... BIG VIRGE File ...  
   
"Inspired them,  
to dismiss guns, and pick up pens !"  
   
I Guess That's Where This Poem ENDS ... !!!  
I Write This Stuff To UNIFY Nations ...
   
Because That To Me ...  
Is One More Thing ....  
That Gives Me THIS ...  
   
My Motivation And Better Still ...  
   
My ........
