"Turn A Blind Eye" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 21/9/2005

Why ... Oh WHY ... ???  
Would You ... " Turn A Blind Eye " ... ?  
To Things That ... " Could " ... ?  
Affect ... Your Life ... ?  
 
MP's ... Do it ...  
ALL The Time ... !!!  
 
But It's An ... English Thing ...  
So I'm ... NOT Surprised ...  
 
As The Saying ... Goes ...  
 
" Until It Happens To You " ...
 
You're ... Living In A World ...  
WITHOUT ... Sherlocks' Clues ...  
 
I've ... Written A Piece ...  
Called ... " What Would You Do ? " ...  
 
To ... SHOW People ...  
NIGHTMARES Come True ... !!!  
 
New Orleans ... Sri Lanka ...  
And ... Texas TOO ...  
Are ... Places Now ...  
With ... Living Proof ...  
That ... ANYONE ...  
Can LOSE Their Roof ... !!!!!  
 
EVEN ... The Rich ...  
Are ... Having To Move ...  
And ... Leave Behind ............................................  
" Expensive Shoes " ...  
 
What Would ...  
You ... Choose ... ?  
 
LAVISH ... Things ...  
Or ... " Food and a Roof " ... ?!?  
 
FORGET ... The News ... !!!  
You'd ... Better Be Shrewd ... !!!  
 
Cos' When ...  
DISASTER STRIKES ... !!!!!  
It Just ... TAKES LIFE ... !!!!!!  
 
Black or ... White ... ?  
Say ... What You Like ... !!!  
 
But ...  
REMEMBER These Words ...  
 
" Goodbye and Goodnight " ... !!!!!!!!!!  
 
Turning A ... "Blind Eye" ...  
REALLY ... Ain't Wise ... !!!  
 
Cos' ...  
One Day .... YES .... !!!  
You'll Be ... SURPRISED ... !!!!!  
 
And Find The Time ..............................................  
To ............. " Analyse " ...............  
 
What You Have Done ...  
Within ... " Your Life " ...  
 
Have You ... " Done Wrong " ... ?  
Have You ... " Done Right " ... ?  
 
Have You ...  
 
Tried To ... Div - ide  ... ?  
Or Were You ... QUICK TO UNITE ... ???  
 
Have You Shown ...  
... RESPECT ... ?  
 
And Been ... " Polite " ...  
 
Or ... Have You Done ... ?  

WHAT THE HELL YOU'VE LIKED ... ?!?
 
I Can ... Say This ...  
 
I've ... Tried To Write ...  
And ... Use The Mic' ...  
To ... Make Some See ...  
 
This World ...  
AIN'T RIGHT ... !!!!!!  
 
From ... " Race-Based HATE " ... !!!  
To Those ... WITHOUT ...  
A ... Food-FILLED Plate ... !!!
 
Sometimes ... YES ...  
I Get ... IRATE ... !!!!!!!!!!!!  
 
Because of ... " Those " ...  
Who ... WILL NOT Face ... !!!  
 
The Problems of ...  
The World ... Today ... ?!?  
 
Yesterday ...  
 
and YES ... Tomorrow ... !!!  
 
They're Simply ... " Hollow " ...  
and Willing To ... Follow ..........................................................  
Bend Over ... And SWALLOW ... !!!  
 
ANY OLD Thing ...  
Officials ... Say ... ?!?!?  
 
But That's ... The Way ...  
Most People ... " Stay " ...  
 
"Ignoring" ....................................... FACTS ..........  
About ..... Axe Attacks ......  
 
And ... Economies Working ...  
To .... "RESTRICT Blacks" ... !!!  
 
Since Bombs Have HIT ...  
London's ... Tube Tracks ...  
 
How Many Blacks ...  
Have Got ...  " The Sack " ... !?!  
Or Faced ... THE PUSH ...  
Out of ... " Backdoors " ... ?  
 
I'm ... " Not Sure " ... ???  
Who's ... Keeping Score ... ???  
 
New Orleans Has Shown ...  
How Those ... " In POWER " ...  
Ignore .............................................. " The Poor " ............... !!!!!
 
And ...  
Leave Them To ... DIE ... !!!  
Whether ... Black or White ... !!!  
 
OPEN ... Your Eyes ... !!!!!!  
INSTEAD of ... Your Thighs ... !!!  
 
Children NOW ...  
Are ... Compromised ... !!!  
 
Because of .... WHAT .... ?  
NO ... " Fuel Supply " ... !?!  
 
Truancy Now ...  
Is Running ... RIFE ... !!!  
 
TOO MANY ... "lows" ...  
And ... NOT ENOUGH Highs ... !!!  
 
DON'T BE A Fool ... !!!  
Things ... AREN'T Right ... !!!  
 
I Write These Things ...  
To ... OPEN Eyes ...  
 
If You ... Have A Child ...  
 
DON'T ... Let Them Buy ...  
Kate Moss's ... Clothes ...  
 
Because ... What Comes Next ...  
Is A ... Coc' FILLED Nose ... !!!!!  
 
THIS Is ... Simple ...  
Use of ... Prose ...  
 
To ... WAKE UP Those ...  
Who ... CLEARLY CHOSE ...  
To Think They'll ... " NEVER " ...  
Suffer .... WOES ... ?!? ...  
 
So ..... How'd You Like ...  
These ... Lyrical Blows ... ???  
 
It's Time To ... END ...  
REALITY ... Shows ... !!!!!  
 
and REALISE ...  
 
It's Just ... NOT WISE ... !!!  
To Do ... THIS THING ...  
 
" Turn A ...... Blind Eye "
