"Meditation" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 22/3/2006

I Used To Meditate ...
In My YOUNGER Days ... !!!

The Day I Stopped ...
Was A Crying Shame ... !!!
But I Now Meditate ...
In A ... DIFFERENT Way ... !!!

I Meditate ... NOW ...
By Picking Up A Pen And Writing Down ...
ESPECIALLY When I Start To FROWN ... !!!!!!

Poetry FEEDS My ENERGIES ...
And Helps My Mind FIND ... " Inner Peace " ...

I Write About The Things I SEE ...
Within My Life And On The Streets ...

It's A Form of ... " Meditation " ...
My Poetic Word Creation ...

It FEEDS My RESPIRATION ...
Thus AVOIDING Palpitations ... !!!

Palpitations ... In My MIND ...
When Inclined To RECOGNISE ...
That MANY DIE Because of LIES ...
And THOSE Who CHOOSE ...
To ... PERPETRATE CRIMES ... !!!

" Meditation " ...
... Through My Rhymes ...
MAINTAINS My Search For LIGHT ...
That Helps Me STAND and FIGHT ...
For What ... I THINK Is RIGHT ... !!!

What's RIGHT For ... ME ...
Is ... REGULAR Use of Poetry ... !!!

It's As If I ... " MEDITATE " ...
When My Pen EMBRACES Page ...

And Starts To ... Relay ...
How I Feel About The World ...
And Our Lives ... Today ...

Sometimes I Simply ...
Drift AWAY ................................................
Through ... Time And Space ...
In Other Words Folks I ... MEDITATE ... !!!

I Write With A RHYTHM ...
Some People Say ...

That's Because of THE TUNES ...
I Put On .... " PLAY " .... !!!

That's Why My Wordplay ...
DOESN'T Seem To Be ... " Staged " ...

There Is ... NO STAGE ...
When You MEDITATE ... !!!!!

Are You Reading Me Folks ... ?
Cos' ... That's NO JOKE ... !!!

Words Like THOSE ...
You Should Let SOAK ...............

SOAK ... " INSIDE " ...
Your Heart And Mind ...

I DON'T Presume ...
To KNOW What's Right ... !!!
 
But You May Find ...
This Helps Your SIGHT ...
And Eventually SEE ...

How Poetry ...
CAN FEED Your NEEDS ... !!!

Write For ... YOU ...
And Then You'll Find ...
Your Rhythm Too ... !!!!!!

Meditation IS ...
... BENEFICIAL Food ...
When ... NOT ABUSED ...
By .... HARD DRUG Use .... !!!!!

CLARITY of Mind HELPS You Recline ...
And NOT Resign To MISSING Signs ...
of What Is WRONG And What Is RIGHT ... !!!

Mediation HELPS You FIND Yourself ...
And BREEDS A WEALTH of MENTAL HEALTH ... !!!!!!!!

It Also SOOTHES Your DARKEST Moods ...

ESPECIALLY When ...
It's USED To IMPROVE ...
How You FEEL About ... YOU ... !!!

The Basis of Which ...
Is Being ... TRUE ... !!!!!

My Poetry SEEKS .........................................
To TOUCH And REACH ................

A Place of BEAUTY ...
CALM And PEACE .........................................................

Meditation FEEDS My Poetic Creations ...
And Helps EXCEED My ... "Limitations" ... !!!!!

And EASES YES My ... Respiration ...

BREATHE In ..................................................................
BREATHE Out .................................................................

And Then ... EXPOUND ...
By USING Scripts Like RHYTHMIC Sounds ...
This Is How I MEDITATE NOW ... !!!

Which Is Why My Words ...
Are ... Humility Bound ... !!!

Humble Because The Path I've Found ...
Helps My Feet STAY ... ON The Ground ... !!!

My Form of ... " Meditation " ...
Helps BUILD My Education ...
ABOUT Our Population ...

That's Why I'm Now Relating ...
About THIS .... " Meditation " ....
That KEEPS My Soul ON TRACK ...
And ... Suitably STATIONED ... !!!!!!!!!

STATIONED In A Place ...
Where I CAN Meditate ...
And When I DO ...
THIS Poetry Tool ...
of ... Pen And Page ...

HELPS Me COOL My TEMPER Gauge ...
NO Time For HATE Or Getting IRATE.

Because They LEAD To EVIL DEEDS ... !!!

I'd RATHER Meditate Than MEET Their Fate ... !!!!
Whether Writing On Race Or The Welfare State ...

My Words Relate And Indicate ...
How I ... Choose To ...

....... " Meditate " .......

But If My Wordplay DEMONSTRATES ...
ANGER When My Pen Meets Page ... !!!!!

PLEASE ... OVERSTAND ... !!!
If I ... Start To RANT ... !!!

Being ... BLACK ...
Has It's ... PROBLEMS ... !!!!

So REMEMBER These Words ...
The Name ... " BIG VIRGE " ...

But When ...
ALL's Said And Done ...

I'm Just ... A MAN ...
Like Those Who Have ...
A .... " Lesser Tan " .... !!!!

When I Meditate Now ...
I'm CALMING Down ...

It's Just My Way ...
of RELEASING PAIN ... !!!
And Learning How To ...
SMILE ... NOT Frown ... !!!

It's ALL A Part of SHOWING Heart ...
Before Things Start To Fall A P A R T ... !!!!!!

I'm NOT That Smart ...
But ... KNOW What Makes ...
My ANGER ... PASS ...................

Pen And Page Night Time Or DAY ...
Are Times When I Now Meditate ...

Poetry Eases MANY Pains ...
That's My Thesis What Do You Say ... ?
Does Poetry Make YOU Feel THIS WAY ... ???

It Breeds ... CREATION ...
I'd Rather Have THIS Than ANY Playstation ... !!!

Synchronisation And Intonation ...
Mixed With Patience And EXQUISITE Cadence ...
is BOUND To TOUCH And FEED Sensations ...

... Similar To THOSE ...

We DEFINE As ...

.... " MEDITATION " ....
