“Tensions” ... A Poem written By Big Virge 24/7/2020

Now I Think That I Should Mention ...  
That Tensions Have Strengthened ...
In These ... CRAZY Times ... !!!  
 
Because of The PRESSURES ...  
of ... Modern  Life ... !!!  
 
Masks Now In Sight ...  
Daytime And Night ...?!?  
 
That NO LONGER Surprise ...  
Or Give People FRIGHTS ... ?!?  
 
But There’s An Off Key Vibe  ... !!!  
 
That Currently Rides ...  
When You Go Outside ....  
And The Sun Now Shines ...  
 
I Have To Be Honest ...  
It’s One That I DON’T Like ... !!!  
 
Cos It’s NO COINCIDENCE ...  
That A Word Like STRESS ...  
Is One That Rhymes With TENSE ... !!!  
 
Because TENSION And STRESS ...  
Are Clearly CLOSE Friends ...  
 
And Clearly Now Rests ...  
In A LOT of Humans ...  !!!!  
 
Talking of Friendships ...  
When Tension ... LIFTS ...  
 
It Seems That What Happens ...  
Is Worse Than Gun Clapping ... !!!
 
It Can Make Combatants ...  
Because of Detachments ...  
That Seemed Hard To Imagine ...  
 
BEFORE Tensions Captured ...  
And Caused The Type of Fractures ...  
That Come From The Battles ...  
That Tension CAN’T Handle ...  
 
That Are QUICK To DISMANTLE ... !!!  
Mind States That Are ... “ Fragile “ ...  
 
And DON’T Get It Confused ...  
The STRONGEST Dudes And Women TOO ...  
Prove That Tension Moves ...  
And Creates ... DARK MOODS ... !!!  
 
In People WHO Are Usually COOL ...  
 
Because Strength of Mind ...  
Is Subject To ... DECLINE ...  
 
When Tension Rides .......  
HIGH Like The Sky ...  
And Has No Time To Recognise ...  
Or Sympathise With The Wisest Guys ...  
 
Whose Tensions Tend ...  
To Use ... WEAPONS ... !!!  
 
But Tensions Now ...  
SURROUND Race Rows ...  
And World Lockdowns ... !!!  
 
And Policies That People Now Flout ...  
Across ... Various Towns ... !?!  
 
Even Though They KNOW ...  
That CORONA’s Around ... !!!  
 
And NO ... NOT The Drink ...  
That Makes Bottles Clink ... !!!  
 
The One I’m On About ...  
Is The Virus That’s Found ...  
 
... PROTEST Grounds ... !!!  
That Now Confound ...  
As Well As Dumbfound ... ?!?  
 
That’s Bringing Out Crowds ...  
Who Are Shouting OUT LOUD ...  
Cos’ They’re Trying To Drown ...  
The Sounds of Government Mouths ...  
 
Who Seem Willing Now ...  
To Send The Feds’ Out ...  
To Use Tear Gas Rounds ... !!!  
 
That Are Causing TENSIONS ...  
To Now KEEP Spreading ...  
 
.... FAR And WIDE ... !!!  
 
Which I Guess Is Why ...  
I’ve Written These Rhymes ...  
 
About This Thing ...  
That CLEARLY NEEDS To LESSEN ... !!!  
 
The PROBLEM of ....  
What Seems To Have STRENGTHENED ...  
 
The DISTURBING RISE ...  
of These ... GLOBAL ...  
 
.... “ TENSIONS “ ... !!!
