“Hostile Environments” ... A Poem written By Big Virge 30/6/2020

MAN These HOSTILE Environments ...
REALLY NEED RETIREMENT ... !!!

From WINDRUSH’ Scandals ...
To ... Black Lives Battles ...
These Environments RATTLE ...
And HERD Like ... CATTLE ...

The Types of RABBLES ...
Who Want To DISMANTLE ...
The Types of Panels ...

Where Racists LIE And Then Decide ...
What’s ... BEST For Black Lives ...
When Our Lives FLATLINE ... ?!!!!?

Because of Designs ...
Where Environments HIDE ...

How Racism Lives And STILL ENLISTS ...
EVERYTHING From Politics ...
To ... Employment Tricks ...

To Make Things HOSTILE ...
For Blacks NOT On Trial ... !!!

But You’d Best BELIEVE ...
That These LEGAL Teams ...
AREN’T ... Squeaky Clean ... !!!

When It Comes To BLACK DREAMS ...
of ... Justice Peace And Equality ...

Where ... HOSTILITIES ...
Are REMOVED QUICKLY ...
From Where Black Folks Be ... !!!

From Jobs To The Streets ...
To ... Dealing With Police ...

Where Hostilities Supply ...
Environments Where Black People DIE ... !!!

EVEN When They ...

DON’T Commit The Type of Crimes ...
of ... Corporate Guys ...
Or White ... PAEDOPHILES ... !!!

Whose Environments LINK ...
To The WEALTHY And RICH ... !!!

Who DON’T Feel The Sting ... !?!
That Environments Bring ...
To ... Young Black Men ...
And ... Black Women ...
When Policemen Decide ...
To Be MORE Than Hostile ...!!!

When They Feel That They ...
Can Act ANY OLD WAY ... ?!?

When Dealing With Blacks ...
And Those Words Are FACT ... !!!

But ... HOSTILITIES ...
Have MORE Subtleties ... !!!

When It Comes To How ...
White Employers Treat ...
Black People Like MEAT ...
When We Work For ...
... Their Companies ... !!!

Where NEW Slavery ...
Is The Modern Theme ... !!!

That STILL Deals In Hostilities ...
Because of ... Policies ...
That DON'T Seem To Deal ...
In Fair PAY Or Opportunities ... !!!

Like Our Counterparts Get ...
Because of Their WHITENESS ... !?!

So Now ... UNITY ....
Is Now Proving To Be ...
A BIG PROBLEM SUDDENLY ...
In ... Twenty Twenty ... ?!?

Where ... HOSTILITIES ...
Are Now Being ERASED ... !!!

But Is That ...
... REALLY The Case ... ?!?
Because I Read Today ...

That ... Melissa Rolfe ...
Has Lost Her Job ...
Apparently Because ...
of ... Political Moves ...
That She Claimed Has To Do ...
With ... Her SUPPORT ...
For ... Policeman Crews ... !!!

Because Her Stepson ...
Has Now Become ...

A Policeman Charged ...
Because He Chose To Shoot ...
Just A Little TOO FAST ...
At ... Rayshard Brooks ...
And TOOK His Life ...
Like Some Kind of Crook ... !!!

The Environments Now ...
Are Getting MORE HOSTILE ... !!!

Because The PC Crowd ...
Are Now SHOUTING LOUD ... !!!

Tearing Statues Down ... !!!

And In My Honest Opinion ...
Are Behaving Like CLOWNS ... !!!

Just ... RUNNING Around ...
Who AREN'T THINKING About ...

The PROBLEM That LIVES ...
Because It’s ... POLITICS ...
And The Racists Who ...
Are Hidden From View ...
Who They NEED To Bring DOWN ... !!!

Because Things WON'T CHANGE ...
Because of Disarray And Violent Displays ... !!!

It’s IN COURTROOMS And Chambers Too ...
Where Laws Are ABUSED And Used To Set LOOSE ...
HOSTILITIES ... That Now Need To CEASE ... !!!

Because The Race War Now ...
Is What’s Causing FROWNS ...
And Environments Are ...
Becoming Like WAR Grounds ... !!!

And That’s NOT A GOOD LOOK ... !!!
Like Something OVERCOOKED ... !!!

There’s NO Doubting That ...
The System Is STACKED ...
MUCH MORE THAN Heavily ... !!!
Against Those Who Are BLACK ... !!!

But We Need To RECOGNISE ...
Who It REALLY Is That We Need To Fight ... !!!

So I’ll REPEAT The First Lines ...
of This Set of Rhymes ...
Just ... ONE MORE TIME ...

For Those Who USE Their MINDS ...
When It Comes To The FIGHT ...
To Make ... RACISM DIE ... !!!

Because ...

What REALLY NEEDS RETIREMENT ...

Are These POLICIES ...
That Are Used To BREED ...
And Now ... INCREASE ...
These Political TYRANTS ...

Who Now Seem To FEED ...
Off These .....
