“These Days And Times” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 20/7/2020

In These Days And Times ...
It’s Getting HARD To Find ...

People On Whom ...
You Can TRULY RELY ... !!!!!

Because of The Mood ...
That’s Now Defining Life ... !!!

COMPULSORY Orders ...
To ... PROTECT Borders ... !!!

CONTROLS For Souls .....
Now LOSING HOPE ... !!!

Due To LOSING Their Jobs ...
And ... RISING Costs ... !!!!!

So What Have We Got ... ???
A ... CORONA ROT ... !!!

That’s TRULY SHOCKED ...
And CLEARLY ROCKED ...

The Lives of ... MANY...
That Are Now UNSTEADY ... !!!

In THESE Days And Times ...
It’s Now ... HARD To Find ...

... TRUE Peace of Mind ...

Which Is Why I Write Rhymes ...
To ... STOP My Brain ...
From ... Going INSANE ...
In These CRAZY DAYS ... !!!!!

Because Its All A Haze ...
And Now The Type of Maze ...

That May Well Leave Some ...
Finding Themselves STUCK ...
With NO Place To RUN ... !!!

It’s ... FAR FROM FUN ...
Watching Governments ...
Now DESTROY Freedoms ... !!!

Because It Now Seems ...
That They Want REGIMES ...
That ALLOW Their Teams ...
To DICTATE What’s Seen ...
And ... WHO Can Speak ... !!!

But In Truth Isn’t That ...
How Its ... ALWAYS BEEN ... !!!

Within Their So Called ... “ Societies “ ...
So Now Theories ... About CONSPIRACIES ...
Are Those That Feed What MANY BELIEVE ...

But The Sheople’ OUTNUMBER ...
Those Who Refuse To Play The Roles ...
of ... DUMB And DUMBER ... !!!

When It Comes To The Vibes ...
of These Days And Times ...
Where Racism IGNITES ...
Like ... DYNAMITE ... !!!

And Is Causing FIGHTS ...
All Because of Black Lives ...
That Apparently MATTER ...
Once They Have ... DIED ... ?!?

So Now There Are Countries ...
That Are ... FAR And WIDE ... !!!!!

Where The Race Discussion ...
Is ... Reaching Minds ...
Who Preferred To Stay Blind ...
To How Ignorance Functions ...
And STILL Affects Lives ...

WAY BEYOND Police Lines ... !!!!!

It’s ... ALWAYS BEEN ...
What Black People Have Seen ...

But Suddenly ... APPARENTLY ...
It Requires MORE TALK ...
Than ... EVER BEFORE ... ?!?

But In ALL HONESTY ...
It’s Beginning To BORE ... !!!

ALL This TALK of CHANGE ...
From ... FAMOUS Names ...

Who’ve Played The Game ...
of ... Waiting For A Train ...
Or ... BANDWAGONS ...
For Them To JUMP ON ... !!!

When They’ve Been ...
... " Playing Along " ...
To Get To ... The TOP ...

of These Industries ...
Where Racism BREATHES ...
Quite ... EASILY ...................... !!!

As LONG As THEY ...
Were RECEIVING MONEY ... !!!

There’s MUCH HYPOCRISY ...
In Times Like These ... !!!

So People Should Read ...
... BETWEEN The Lines ... !!!

BEFORE They Find Themselves ALIGNED ...
With The Types of ... Figures ...
Who Are Really ... SHAPE SHIFTERS ... !!!!!

Or In Other Words ... GRIFTERS ...
Who Are Known To Be TRICKSTERS ... !!!

And ... Societal WINNERS ...
Who Are The WORST Kind of SINNERS ... !!!

Sitting At ... DINNERS ...
With The Type of Thinkers ...
Who Prefer To Wear BLINKERS ...

Than To SEE THE TRUTH ...
About ... RACIST Moves ...

And The Type of ISSUES ...
That Now ... Confuse ... ?!?

That Are Fuelling DARK MOODS ... !!!
It’s A ... " WHOLE NEW WORLD " ...
That Now ... UNFURLS ... !?!

And Has REARRANGED...
How The Game of Life ...
Will Now Be ... Played ... !!!

Which Is Why I Find ...
Myself Inclined ...
To Sit And Write Rhymes ...

About What Life’s Now Like ...

In ....

“These Days And Times” ....
