"Stop Saying I'm Scary !!!" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 31/5/2005

When You People See ME ...
Do You Start To Feel ... "Scared" ... ?!?  
  
If You Do ...  
Let Me Ask You ...  
   
" ARE YOU PEOPLE FOR REAL ? "  
   
What Is The REAL DEAL ... ???  
   
Let's ... INSPECT Your FEAR ...  
Let The TRUTH Be REVEALED ... !!!  
   
Do You Start To Feel SCARED ...  
Because of My STARE .... ?  
   
Or ... Is It Because ...  
My Nostrils Start To FLARE ... ?  
   
Or Maybe It's Because ... ???  
I've Got A ... BLACK GLARE ... ?!?  
   
It Seems ... This Is The View ...  
That ... Most of You Share ...    
   
Well .....  
   
Here Is ... MY VIEW ... !!!  
   
DON'T Look At ... " My COLOUR " ... !!!  
DON'T Look At ..... " My SIZE " ..... !!!  
   
STUPID ... Racist Remarks ...  
Are Really NOT WISE ... !!!!!  
   
DON'T Do It With ME ...  
Cos' You'll Be SURPRISED ...  
DON'T .... " STEREOTYPE " .... !!!!!!!!  
   
It Could Be Your DEMISE ... ?!?  
   
I SEE THROUGH Your Guise ...    
The FAKENESS' and LIES ...    
   
You've STILL GOT A PROBLEM ...  
With FORTHRIGHT Black Guys ... !?!  
   
YES Those Thought PROVOKING ... !!!  
And Those NOW ... OUTSPOKEN ... !!!!!  
   
DON'T LAUGH When You Read This ...  
Cos NOW I'm NOT JOKING ... !!!!! ...  
   
I'm NOT Just A ... " TOKEN " ... !!!  
For YOU To Sit ... POKING ... !!!  
Your RACIST Type ... " JOKES " ...  
While You ... SNIFF The Coc' ...  
   
Now DON'T Get Me Wrong ....  
NOT ONLY White Blokes ... !!!!!  
   
Caucasians To Asians ...  
Now Get My Blood RACING ... !!!!!!  
Because of The IGNORANT Things ...    
   
... You ARE Saying ... !?!?!  
   
   
"Your Attitudes THREATENING ... !!!  
Your DRESS is AGGRESSIVE ... ?!?  
Your Tone is DISTRESSING ... !?!"
 
   
"My Attitudes ... THREATENING ... ?!?  
What The HELL Does That Mean ?!?"
 
   
My Lifestyle Is THREATENED ...  
By ... Government SCHEMES ... !!!  
   
Governments Run By ...  
   
" WHITES ONLY " ... Teams ... !!!  
   
Let's Just Get This STRAIGHT ... !!!  
   
The Blacks Who've Now ...  
... " Joined Them " ...  
   
Just Make Me IRATE ... !!!!!!!  
   
They ARE just As Bad ...  
With Their Nose IN THE AIR ... !!!  
 
PLAYING To The TUNE ...  
of Men Just Like ... BLAIR ... !!!    
   
They STILL HATE The ... " Dreads " ...  
   
"Boy, cut down your hair !"  
   
Like Barbers and Shavers ...  
Have ALWAYS BEEN THERE ... ?!?!?  
   
I No Longer Care ...  
About Being Black ... !!!  
   
OH YES ...  
That's A FACT ... !!!!!  
   
Some Black Folk Look At Me ...    
As If I'm On CRACK ... !?!  
   
My Father Is ONE ...  
Who Stabbed Me IN MY BACK ... !!!!!  
   
NOT Just Me But My ... " Mum " ...  
....... That's A FACT ...... !!!  
   
NOT ... " LITERALLY " ...  
That's A DIFFERENT Story " ... !!!  
   
Let's ......  
Get Back To The Subject ...  
How I Am ... " Perceived " ... ???  
And Why Most of You Think ...  
   
I'm REALLY ... " Scary " ... !?!  
   
You People DON'T LISTEN ... !!!  
You Sit There .................................................................................... Dismissing .....  
   
The Problem's Blacks' Face ...  
In ... EVERY Workplace ... ?!?!?  
   
We're STILL Underpaid ...  
And Being ABUSED ...  
And ALWAYS Fall VICTIM ...  
of New BOGUS Rules ... !!!!!!!!!!  
   
Believe If You Like ...  
   
DISMISS If You Choose ...    
   
But ALWAYS REMEMBER ...  
We Can LOSE OUR COOL ... !!!!!  
   
And These Days It's GUNS ...  
Just Check In The News ...  
   
DUMB Rappers Sold Out ...  
For ... Financial CLOUT ... !!!  
And That's The New Message ...  
The Media ... " TOUTS " ... !!!  
   
You DUMMIES BELIEVE ... ?!?  
That's What Blacks Are About ... !?!  
   
EVERY Young Black ...  
Is NOT A Damn Lout ... !!!!!  
   
But That's Your EXCUSE ...  
When Young Blacks ...  
Start To SHOUT ..... ?!?  
   
Back In The Old Days ...  
In The .... " U.S. of A " ...  
   
We Were TOLD NOT TO SPEAK ... !!!  
To Simply Be ... "meek" ...    
And WATCH OUT For WHITE SHEETS ... !!!!!  
   
But When Brothers Came ...  
With A ... Message of PEACE ...    
   
BOTH Malcolm and Martin ...  
Were BOTH ... "Put To Sleep" ...    
   
If We SPEAK ... We Get BEAT ... !?!  
If We DON'T ... We Get BEAT ... ?!?  
   
SO STOP Your ACCUSING ... !!!  
When YOU KEEP ABUSING ... !!!  
Cos THIS You May FIND ...  
   
Is A DEATH LINE Your Choosing ... !!!  
   
I'm Writing This Prose ...  
To Stay OPEN ... NOT Closed ... !!!!!  
   
Just Like MY NOSTRILS ...  
When Frustration SHOWS ... !!!!!  
   
Let Us EXPRESS ...    
OTHERWISE Take The BLOWS ... !!!!!!  
   
Muhammad Has SHOWN You ...  
How THAT Contest Goes ... !!!!!!  
 
REMEMBER These Words ...  
 
What YOU SEE Is ABSURD ... !?!

   
I'm A PERSON Like YOU ... !!!  
NOT A ... Violent Tool ... !!!  
   
STOP Trusting Your Telly ...  
The Message Is SMELLY ... !!!!!!  
   
Just Because I Am Black ...  
You DON'T Have To Be ... " WARY " ...  
   
My Moods Like Yours ...... " VARY " ......  
   
So ...  
Do Me A FAVOUR ...  
   
" Stop Saying I'm Scary !!! " .....
