"Apocalyptic Times" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 31/7/2007

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 ... "The Box" ...    
... 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 ...    
That 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 .....    
   
... " Apocalyptic Times " ...
