"Brave" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 31/10/2006

Some Think That ...
I'm ... " BRAVE " ... !!!

To Say The Things I Say ...
About The Ways ...
We Are ... "ENSLAVED" ...
By Those Who LIVE ...

By ... Getting Rich ...
OFF People Who SLAVE ...
EVERY SINGLE DAY ... !!!

So That THEY Can DISPLAY ...
A Life of EASY PLEASANT Days ... !!!

While Those WITHOUT Financial CLOUT ...
TRY Their Best To COVER Their Chest ...
of ... BILLS To PAY ... !!!!!!!!!!

INCREASING STRESS That Places STRAIN ...
On Hearts And Veins And Peoples' BRAINS ... !!!

Such Views EXPRESSED ...
Through My POEMS Is Why I GUESS ... ?
Some Say I'm BRAVE ... !!!
Well I Have To Say ...

What's BRAVE About That ...
When SLAVERY Goes With ...
Words Like BLACK ... !!!

And WHITEY' Knows ...
Those Words Are FACT ... !!!

But Just A Minute Now ...
WAIT ............................................................
Didn't Blacks ENSLAVE ...
Before White Folks Came ... ?!?

So ... Who In TRUTH ...
Can We REALLY BLAME ... ?!?

It's ... CLEAR To Me ...
We DON'T HELP OURSELVES ... !!!

GREEN Is The Colour ...
That Makes Blacks SELL ...
Their Souls To The DEVIL ...
And BURN THEMSELVES ... !!?!!

It's CLEARLY BRAVE To Trust ...
Black People Who LUST ...
For Money OR Holding A GUN ... !!!

I'd Rather See BLACKS ...
Raise ... STRONG Children ...
And Listen To Those ...
Who Have ... WISDOM ... !!!!!

So Many NOW ... QUICKLY SUCCUMB ...
To Doing Things That Leave Them STUNG ...
Then Wonder WHY They've Got PROBLEMS ... !!?!!

Why EMBRACE PAIN Time And AGAIN ... ?

"Embrace it once, then move on son !
Otherwise your actions, prove your dumb,
and, may just be your final ones' !
Especially if, policemen come,
Now that's not brave, that's stupid son !
Living your life, locked in prison !"

It Seems Some HATE To See A Black Face ...
EVEN When Theirs IS The SAME ... ?!?

How Can This Be EVEN ... Today ... !?!
PRIDE Envy And YES JEALOUSY ...
Are Keeping Us From ... UNITY ...
And This Just FUELS Black Poverty .... !!!!

While Those ABOVE KEEP Having FUN ...
Because of DIVISIONS And IGNORANCE ... !?!

From Those Whose Names ...
Are ... NOT Worth Saying ... !!!
NOW I've Got To Ask ...
Are These Fools INSANE ... ?!?

It Seems They ARE ... !!!
Mix With Them ... NAH ... !!!!!

They Think They're COOL ...
When In Fact They're FOOLS ...
Learning How To Bring Blacks DOWN ...

NO ... " MINSTRELS Show " ...
But YES They're ... CLOWNS ... !!!!

Taking ... CENTRE Stage ...
DOESN'T Make Them BRAVE ... !!!!

Unless They're READY To Lyrically AIM ...
At Those Who CLEARLY Run The Game ... !!!

SEPARATISTS Who GOVERN Things ...
Like WHO Stays RICH And Who They STING ...
And Who They KILL Like X And KING ... !!!

The PLANS They USE Are NOTHING NEW ...
They CONTINUE To ... Do Their Do ...
While Some Blacks Choose To YES REFUSE ....
To RISE ABOVE ... PETTY ISSUES ... !!!

"How black are you !"

"Who you talking to ?"

"I'm talking to you !
White girl, white world !
Don't you know your roots !"

"Well, I guess you do,
but let me just, respond to you !
Your attitude provides clear proof,
that, you're a fool who's not been schooled,
in, divisive tools ! You're the type,
who can't take the truth,
and hides behind a crock of lies !
You clearly are one of those guys,
whose blackness is, your foolish pride !
Now I believe in Black Love, but hear me out cuz',
united we stand, but, division of thought,
is bound to see our people fall !
I'd like to see more unity !
So, will not suffer fools gladly !
They get dismissed, whatever skin they're in,
but, if you use your brain, then we can attain,
respect and love, on a higher plane !"

It Would Seem Fair To Say ....
That ... Stating A Case ...
For ... Making The World ...
A ... BETTER Place ...
For Those With NOTHING ...
On Their Plates ...
And UNITY ... Instead of Hate ...

CLEARLY Makes Some Feel AFRAID ... !!!
Which I Guess Is WHY Some People CLAIM ...

" That Big Virge Guy ...
Is TRULY ....................... "

........ " BRAVE " .......
