"Propaganda & Lies" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 16/10/2006

You Know It ...  
Seems That Through Life ... ?  
Propaganda and Lies ...     
Are Fed By Those Guys ...    
Who Wear ... " Corporate Ties "    
   
So ....    
Don't Be Surprised ...    
If Your Life Seems ... Contrived ...    
   
The ... Systemic Rise ...    
of .... Divisive Styles ....    
Has Been Long Designed ...    
By Those Who Reside ....    
   
In Places With Houses    
They've Painted In ... WHITE ...    
   
Or Those Numbered ... 10 ...    
 
Where They And Their Friends ...   
KEEP ... Feeding Us LIES ...    
Again And ... AGAIN ... !!!!!!!!!    
   
See ...    
It's All A PRETENCE ...    
Their Calls For ... " Defence "... !!!    
   
" Defence of The Realm !!!" ...
While They're At The Helm ....    
 
Is Something The Masses ....    
Now Needs To ... DISPEL ... !!!     
   
Because It's Quite Clear ...    
They're  Just ...  
Helping ... " THEMSELVES " ..... !!!!!!    
   
Propaganda ... SELLS ... !!!    
Just Like Their Talk ... " SMELLS " ...    
of Something That ... " STINKS " ... !!!!!!!!!    
   
Something ... "Prepared" ...   
In Their ... Public Speech Scripts ...
    
The Type of Lyrics ...    
I Try ... NOT TO Enlist ... !!!    
   
Cos' It's ... All About TRICKS ...    
To Make The Masses Live ...   
In Poverty ... So ... !!!    
 
That Their Brains ...  
... OVERLOAD ... !!!!!!!    
   
NO ... "Old Kent Road" ... !?!    
Or ... Getting Past GO ... !!!    
 
"Well, what do you know ?    
my lifestyle's so quick !    
While theirs seems so slow !"
 
   
Well ...  
Ignorance Leads ...    
To You ... Paying A Toll ...
    
Government Polls ...    
Are CLEARLY ... Bank-Rolled ... !!!    
   
So ... What Did You Do ... ?    
With Your ... Power To Vote ... ?    
   
" Huh  " ... ?!?
 
Fall For Their Lies ... !?!    
Well I Think You May Find ...    
You Jumped On ... " The WRONG RIDE " ... !!!!!    
   
And Now It Would Seem ...   
You Are Paying The Price ... !!!    
INFLATED ... Gas Hikes ... !!!
    
NO Good Schools ...  
For Your Child ... !?!
    
Or ... Homework For Them ...   
And You ... Wonder Why ... ???    
   
We've Now Got ...  
These Problems ... !!!!?!!!!!    
   
Our Leaders ... "conceal" ... !    
And Are NOT ... Holyfield ... !!!    
   
So ... Are NOT ...   
The REAL DEAL ... !!!!!    
   
But Feed ... Propaganda ...    
With PUNCH Like ... " Evander !!! " ...    
   
While Lyrics I'm Writing ...    
Keep Biting Like ... TYSON ... !!!
    
Which Clearly Is Why ...    
Most People Get ... FRIGHTENED ... !!!    
By Wordplay I Use ...    
That Proves That I'm ... " Shrewd " ...    
 
What I'm ... Saying To You ...      
Is To  ... D i ss e c t  The News ... !    
   
And ... Government Views .... !!!    
Don't Let Them Confuse ...  !!!    
Through ... Moves That They Use ...    
   
Political Coups ...    
Are Used As A ... " Ruse " ...    
To Keep You From Seeing ...
    
What Really Is ... TRUE ...    
Their Complete DISREGARD ...    
For .... Public Issues ....    
   
Those That Affect ... ME ... !!!    
And Those That Affect ... YOU ... !!!    
   
If You Turn TEN Around ...   
It Just Becomes ... NET ... !!!    
   
Well The TRAP'S ...  
Long Been ... SET... !    
To Keep People ... DOWN ...    
And Wearing A FROWN ... !!!    
   
UNLESS You Are Wearing ...    
A Wig And A Gown ...    
 
And CLEARLY ... Of Course ...    
All These ... Government Clowns ... !!!    
   
So ...  
How Does That Sound ... ?    
Am I .... Lying To You ... !?!    
 
Or Am I Just ... Trying ...    
To ... Pass On Some Truth ...    
About ... PROPAGANDA ...    
And LIES .... Leaders USE ...    
To Give Themselves Pounds ...    
Through Trust They ... ABUSE ... !!!!!    
   
See The ... " Poverty Gap " ...    
Is All ... Part of Their Plan ...    
   
Immigrants THIS ...  
And ... Immigrants THAT ... !!!    
 
Their Words ...  
Divide Masses ...  
 
And ... W I D E N S ... The Gap ...    
While They Plan .... Rubbing Hands .... !!!    
   
See ... Communities ...    
That Are FILLED With PEACE ...    
RELY ON ..... UNITY ..... !!!!!!!    
   
Which ... In Turn ...    
Should Then Mean ...    
That They ... No Longer Need ...    
HEAVY HANDED Police .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!    
   
Now ... CAPITALISTS ...    
Are Just ... New Age FASCISTS ... !!!
    
Or YES ... You Have Guessed ..... !!!!!    
Are ... New Age SEPARATISTS ...    
   
So ... Who In The End ...    
BENEFITS From ... All This ... ???    
   
PLEASE ... THINK About This ...    
BEFORE ... Parting Your Lips ..... !!!!!    
   
if We ...  HATE Each Other ...    
Because of ... Our COLOUR ...    
 
Or ... Because of PRIDE ...    
That We Should Put ... ASIDE ... !!!!!!!!!    
   
These People In Power ....    
Just ... Sit Back and Smile ...  !!!!!!    
   
And KEEP Passing Laws ...    
That ENSURE That The Poor ...    
STAY ... Right Where They Are ... !!!    
   
Are You With Me So Far ... ???  
   
The Rich Just Get RICHER ...    
And Watch The Rest ... " wither " ...    
   
Because of ... The Strain ... !!!    
APPLIED To Our Brains ... !!!!!!!    
   
From ...  
Riding On Trains ...
To Bills We Must Pay ...
    
Just To Maintain ...    
A Life ... " LESS Restrained " ... !!!      
   
Well ...  
That's What They'll Say ...    
So Let's ... Check That Okay ... !???!    
   
Working ... " LONGER DAYS "    
To Earn ... " HIGHER PAY " ...    
So You Can ... Get A BREAK ...    
Like A ... NICE Holiday ... !!!    
   
But ......  
Travel These Days ...    
Can Now Create ... PAIN ... !!!    
   
TERRORISTS ... They Complain ...    
May Be On ... YOUR PLANE ... !!!?!!!    
   
So You ...  
Now NEED ... A BREAK !!!!!    
AFTER Your ... Holiday ... !!!!!!?!!!!!    
   
It's All ... Part of The Game ...    
That's Run By These SNAKES ... !!!    
Who ... CLEARLY Are FAKE ..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!    
   
I Think Its Time ...    
WE CALLED ... " Time " ... !!!    
   
On Those ....    
Running OUR LIVES .... !!!!    
   
Through Their ...  
FALSE Diatribe ...............    
   
" PROPAGANDA and LIES " ...
