"Patience" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 13/6/2005

When PRESSURE Comes Knocking ...  
How PATIENT … Are You ... ?  
 
Do You Remain COOL ... ???
 
Or Are You The Type ...  
To Start HURLING ABUSE ... !?!
 
I Try To … STAY COOL ...  
When Dealing With Fools ... !!!
 
Cos' These Days IMPATIENCE ...
Can Leave Your Bed VACANT ... !!!  
 
It's Simply That BLATANT ...  
Violence Is ... FLAGRANT ... !!!
 
While Patience Is SOBBING ...  
Are You ... IN A RUSH ... ?
To Have Tears On Your Coffin ... ???  
 
My Patience Is SHORTER ...  
Than ... EVER Before ... !!!!!  
But I’m Looking For PEACE ...  
Instead of ... Street Wars ...  
 
... ANGER Now SOARS ...  
Through MOST Peoples Pores ... !!!
 
... TOO MANY Now THINK ...  
That They're REALLY HARDCORE ... !?!
 
Now This ISN'T NEW ...  
I've Said This BEFORE ... !!!  
 
Your Blood Will Just POUR ...  
Cos' BADMAN DON'T Give You ...  
A Chance For ... BIG TALK ... !!!!!
 
So DON'T Talk The Talk ...  
UNLESS You WALK THE WALK ... !!!
 
ACTING The ... BADMAN ...  
Can Cut Your Life Short ... !!!
 
And Then Come The SIRENS ... !!!  
So ... Patience or Violence ... ?!?
Take A Moment And THINK ..............  
 
I'll Give You A Moment ...  
To ... SIP On That Drink ................................
 
Before You End Up ...  
In A Church FILLED With ... " Silence  " .......................................................
 
But Patience Is Needed ...  
In ... Much of Our Lives ... !!!!  
 
From Dealing With Colleagues ...  
To ... Dealing With Wives ...  
 
... Women Or Children ...  
And YES ... STUPID Men ...  
Can Make You LOSE Patience ...  
When Dealing With Them ... !!!
 
I Try To Stay … “ Calm " ...  
BEFORE CLOSING My Palm ... !!!
 
Cos' Fists Are A Weapon ...  
That Can Bring You HARM ... !!!  
 
I'm Simply Suggesting ...  
To VALUE God's Blessing ...  
Use What You're GIVEN ...  
Your Body's For ... LIVING ... !!!!!  
 
A BRAIN And A HEAD ...  
Try THINKING ... NOT KILLING ... !!!
 
ABUSE of THIS Tool ...  
Will Leave Your Brain DEAD ... !!!
 
DON’T Walk With ... "The Blind" ...  
... KEEP USING Your Mind ... !!!!!!!
 
And Maybe One Day ...  
It's PEACE That You'll Find ...  
 
That's What I’m Looking For ...  
… During My Life ... !!!!!  
 
It's Something I'd DIE For ... !!!!!  
A World WITHOUT War ...  
A World FILLED With PATIENCE ...  
Right To The Earth's Core ... !!!
 
Do You See What I’m Saying ... ???  
Or Do I Need To Say MORE ... ?!?  
 
THIS Is A Subject ...  
With Pictures To Draw ...  
 
Pictures of ... LOVE ...  
From Sons To Their Mothers ...  
 
Pictures of ... LOVE ...  
From Brother To Brother ...  
 
PATIENCE From ALL ...  
REGARDLESS of Colour ... !!!
 
I'm Trying To Touch Ya ...  
With ... POSITIVE Vibes ...  
Cos' Right Now I'm Seeing ...  
... TOO MANY Folks CRY ... !!!  
 
From Friends I Grew Up With ...  
To People Who Thought ...  
That ... BEAUTY Was Life ...  
 
LIFE IS ...  
A BEAUTIFUL Thing ... I AGREE ...  
 
But Every Body ...  
Is NOT FILLED With Beauty ... !!!!
 
Just Look At Most MP's ...  
And Then You WILL SEE ...  
 
Their TOLERANCE Level ...  
Is Somewhat ... AT SEA ...................................  
When They Are SO QUICK ...  
To Judge Those In Streets ...  
 
People Like YOU ...  
And ... People Like ME ...
 
PATIENCE Is Something ...  
That Presidents NEED ... !!!  
 
Just Look At ... The Bush's ...  
George And His Daddy ... !!!!  
 
Patience Is Something ...  
They BOTH Seemed To NEED ... !!!  
And Then The U.S. ...  
Might NOT Be SO STRESSED ... !!!  
 
Patience And STRESS ...  
Are CLOSELY Related ... !!!  
STRESS Is A Problem ...  
That Can Be ABATED ... !!!
 
It's Simply A Matter ...  
of Being MORE GRACIOUS ...  
When IGNORANCE Bates Us ... !!!
 
And This Can Be Dealt With ...  
By ... SHOWING MORE ...
 
..... " PATIENCE " .....
