"They Seem To Be Afraid" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 19/3/2006

Governments Nowadays ...
Now Seem To Be AFRAID of Letting People Say ...
How They Feel About The World And How They RUN Matters of State ...

Could This Be Because of LIES ... OPENING Some Peoples Eyes ... ???
With The Way The World is Now They SHOULDN'T Be Surprised ... !!!

WHY Let The People SEE About ... CORRUPTED Deeds ...
When This Would CLEARLY Seem To NOT AFFECT Their Schemes ... ?!!!!?

They CLAIM There is a NEED To CURB Freedom of Speech ...
That's Gonna Cause A PROBLEM For My Style of Poetry ...
When Based Upon The Things I See On Streets, TV's And News Stories ...

My Scripture Paints Pictures of ............ REALITY .............. !!!

So ... WHY Are THEY AFRAID ... ???
When They KEEP Getting Paid ...
And LAID In ... DIFFERENT Ways ... !!!!!

The Actions That They TAKE Are CLEARLY Rather STRANGE ... !!!

They Have Their GRIP On ... EVERYTHING ...
Including YES ... TITANIC Ships ...
From Poetry To Sowing Seeds That SEPARATE Young Kids ... !!!

Some STILL HATE To See ...
People Like ME With ... DARKER SKINS ... !!!

And Choose To USE ... " INSIDIOUS Tricks " ...
Like USING AXES ... Or ... ICEPICKS ...
Or Packing GUNS Inside Their Fists ... !!!!!

These Things Are SEEN On Streets and Screens ...
But MANY CHOOSE To HOLD The View ...
That Things They Do Are CLEALY ... " Cool " ... !?!
And Do NOT Question Those Who ... THREATEN ...

When Will People HEED Life's Lessons ... !?!

Well Clearly SOME Are WISING Up ...
And DON'T Agree With ... SUCH Actions ... !!!

And MANY Now Have Had ... ENOUGH ... !!!
So Now Statesmen Are Playing TOUGH ... !!!

EVEN Though They Have CONTROL ...
They Seemingly Are SCARED of ... US ... ?!?

Those Who CHOOSE To Express Views ...
That STAND AGAINST The Plans They THRUST ...

Upon Humans ...
Whilst Wielding GUNS ... !!!!!!

Can Words and Speech Be SUCH A MAJOR ENEMY ... ???
They Seem To USE It Quite FREELY .................................................... !?!

Could TERRORISTS Write Poetry ... ???
Surely NOT Well That's NOT ME ... !!!

But Some ... BELIEVE ...
That We Should WATCH The Things WE SAY ...
Or PREPARE To Face Being ... " Locked Away " ... !!!

It's CLEAR THEY Seem To Be AFRAID ... !!!!!

AFRAID of Words Don't Be ABSURD ... !?!

Well Worms May TURN When People Learn ...
The TRUTH About How Businessmen Lend Governments Pounds ...
While Pension Payments SLOW RIGHT DOWN ... !!!!!

Now The Young Are AFRAID of Seeing ... " Old Age " ...
Because of How ... STATESMEN Get Paid ... !!!!!

EXPANSIVE Loans From CORPORATE Folds ... !?!
While Old Folks Go In ... Residential Homes ...
And Pay For CARE With What They Own ... !?!?!

While Men of STATE Seem To Be AFRAID ...
of The Things ... People Will Say ... !!!!!

I Am AMAZED How Can This Be ... ?
When THEY TAKE Peoples' PROPERTY ... !!!?!!!

Inheritance Tax Is PROVING That ...
By BREAKING MANY Families ... !!!!!!

I'm AFRAID of THEM ...
But They're AFRAID of ... ME ... ?!!!?

And AFRAID of THOSE Who Use FREE SPEECH ...
When USED To EXPOSE The Plans They ... "HOLD" ...
That Leave The MASSES ... " In The COLD " ... !!!

THESE Statesmen HOLD Their ... " Pots of Gold " ...
And CLEARLY Some ... WILL NOT Let GO ... !!!!!!!!!!!

EVEN WHEN On ... " News At Ten " ...
The World is TOLD About THEM And Their CORPORATE Friends ... ?!?

And How They Make Cash SETTLEMENTS ... !!!!!!

"The Money Was Lent !" ... Is Their DEFENCE ... !?!

I Wish They'd Lend Some Cash To ME ...
BEFORE I SEE That POVERTY Decides To Get A Bit Friendly ... !!!!!

It's All RELATIVE But TRUST In THIS ...

In Time This May Make People RAGE ... ?!?
FRAUDULENT Capers NEED To Be Tapered ...
And I Mean FAST NOT ... " 28 Days Later " ... !!!!

The People NEED To Have THEIR SAY ... !!!!!

Who In TRUTH At The End of The Day ...
May LOSE The ROOF Under Which They Lay ... ?!?

" POLITICIANS " ... Well I Would Be SHOCKED ... !?!

" Judges or Lawyers " ... Well Probably NOT ... ?!?

How About ..... " FINANCIERS " ..... ?

I'd Shed Some Tears of ... " SYMPATHY " ... ?
SORRY Son But ... NOT LIKELY ... !!!!!

I'm SURE They'd NEVER Leave Themselves ...
Without ENSURING That They're ... DEALT ...

Lives of SPLENDOUR And of ........ WEALTH ........ !!!
UNTIl It's Time To FACE ... " Angels " ...
Is It HEAVEN For Them Or Could It Be ... HELL ... !?!?!

Their Plans Are SET I'll TAKE That Bet ... !!!
That Pension Plans The TOP DOGS Have ...
Are LARGE Enough To Buy Some BANKS ...
And Then SUPPLY Them With ... LARGER TANKS ... !!!!!!!

So When You SEE With ... CLARITY ...
Their FUTURE Plans And ... PROPERTY ...

How Can They CLAIM FREEDOM of SPEECH ...
May Lead to MORE ... " VIOLENCE On Streets ! " ...

When What THEY HAVE Fuels ... POVERTY ... !?!

I HAVE To Say That ...
Words I Place Via Pen To Page ...
Are NOT The Things That Give Folks PAIN ... !!!

Some Would Say ...

" They DO STRESS Brains ... !!!!! "

But JOKES Aside I Make THIS CLAIM ... !!!
Things They DO Leave ... DISARRAY ... !!!
Who's NOT AFRAID of WAR Campaigns ... ?!?

Types Who THINK It's RIGHT To ... FIGHT ... ???

It MUST Be ... ME At the End of The Day ...
Who Finds It STRANGE That What We SAY ...

Seems To Have THEM ... " SCARED "...

And ......

.... " They Seem To Be AFRAID ? " ....
