"Difference" ... A Poem written by Big Virge on the 18/3/2007

So Do The Things People Say ... ?  
Really Make ... ANY DIFFERENCE ... ?!?    
     
When At The End of The Day ...    
Most Display ... INDIFFERENCE ...      
     
Indifference Towards ...    
Promoting A Cause ...    
     
Like .... Reducing Wars ...  
And Corporate Fraud ...      
To Ensure That THE POOR ...     
Suffer LESS Than MORE ... !!!!!    
     
See Apathy REIGNS In Many Brains ... !!!   
Just Like Cocaine ....    
... INFLAMES MEMBRANES ... !!!  
   
Nowadays The Game's ...    
... Become A STRAIN ... !!!    
     
Which I Guess Is Why ...  
Indifference FLIES .... !!!!!!!    
Like Chemical Highs ...  
That Now Supply ....    
     
Submissive And ...    
... ILLICIT minds ... !!!    
     
Indifference In Them's ...    
Causing ... PROBLEMS ... !!!    
     
Check The News At Ten ...    
And You'll See The Effects ...    
     
Bullets To Heads ... !!!    
Stab Wounds To Chests ... !!!    
     
Parents UPSET ... !!!  
Because Their Children ...    
Face ... TOUGH Tests ... !!!   
     
RADICAL Men Inciting Trends ...   
That Lead To VIOLENCE And DEATH ... !!!  
     
And Let's Not Forget ...    
Our Government Friends !!!!!    
     
What THEY Submit To ...  
Clearly FUELS DIVISIVE Crews ...    
To Make ... DIFFERENT Moves ... !!!    
     
That DO Make A DIFFERENCE ...    
To ME And ...... YOU ...... !!!  
     
Feuds That Lead To .....    
... RACIST VIEWS ... !!!!!!    
     
Political Coups ...    
Bred To ... Confuse ... ?!?    
     
Issues Used Like ...   
... LOoNeY Tunes ... !!!     
     
WITHOUT The Jokes ... !!!    
When What They Do ...    
Leave People BROKE ...     
Blackened And Blue ...     
And Drained of Hope ... !!!    
     
Let Those Words SOAK ... !!!    
Into Your Pores Like Suds of Soap ...    
     
INDIFFERENCE Strokes ...    
Like Ropes Do Dopes ... !!!    
of Ignorant Hoards ...    
Whose Thoughts Are Flawed ... !!!!!    
     
See That's A Big Virge Quote ...    
Built To CHOKE Weak Throats ... !!!!!    
     
Ali ... AWOKE ... !!!!!    
While Joe Just SMOKED ... !!!    
     
FRAZIER For Those ...    
Too Young To Know ... !!!    
     
See Figures Like THESE From History ...    
Made A DIFFERENCE To ME ...    
Because of How They Made Me FEEL ... !!!!!!    
     
Which I Guess Is Why ... ?    
..... My Poetry .....    
     
"Floats like Butterflies    
and Stings like Bees !!!"   
     
But Who Do The Youth ...    
Look Up To .... NOW .... !?!    
     
Sporting Thugs Who Now Take Drugs ...    
Or Rappers Who Put Up A FRONT ...      
About The Guns They Shoot For FUN ... ???    
     
Since When Was THAT ... ?    
Defined As .... " FUN " .... !?!    
     
Shooting A Gun ...    
To See Blood Run ...    
From Another Human ... ??!??    
     
Well Here's MY STANCE ... !!!!!!    
     
Some Rappers TRULY ...  
Should Be HUNG  ...    
Then Unduly Burnt ....    
With Their Guns WELL DONE ... !!!    
     
Because Their Words .....    
DO Affect Young Herds ...     
And DO Make A Difference ...    
To ... Younger Ones ... !!!    
     
Young Attitudes ....    
Provide CLEAR PROOF ...    
That Raps Consumed ...    
Do Affect Some Youth ... !!!    
     
Some Think It's Cool ... ?    
To Now Be Rude ... !?!    
And FEAR Is Used ...    
Just Like A Tool ...    
To Threaten And ABUSE ...   
Like ... Government's Do ... !!!!!    
     
Do You Get The Link ... ?    
Take A Minute And ...................    
     
THINK .........................    
     
Gangsters Come In MANY FORMS ....    
Those In Suits May Not Perform ...    
     
But When You Think About Rappers ...    
... And Government Heads ... ???    
     
Ask Yourself This ... ?    
Are They THAT DIFFERENT ... ?!?    
     
I'll Let You Decide ...    
While I Use My Rhymes ...    
To Be Your Guide ...    
To A Place Where Minds ...    
Become ... MORE WISE ... !!!    
     
See They'll ... Sell Their SOULS ...    
For A ... LARGE ANK ROLL ... !!!  
     
Do You REALLY Believe ...    
EVERYTHING That They Say ... ?!?    
     
It's Pretty Clear Nowadays      
That Governments THIEVE ...    
And Rappers DECEIVE ...    
just To ... " Get PAID " ... !!!    
     
What Happened To ...   
The ... Good Old Days ... !?!    
     
When Emcee's Ruled ... !!!    
And Made Their Name ...    
WITHOUT False Claims ...    
To Earn Their Wage ... !!!!!!!!    
     
It's All A Game .....    
of ... DIFFERENT Strains ...    
     
Indifference Claims So Much Today ...     
That I'm Afraid It's Now TOO LATE ...     
To Re-arrange And Make A Change ... !!!    
     
See Girls Are Now INDIFFERENT ...    
To Advances From MEN ...    
Which Pretty Much Ends ...    
Any Chance of .... Sex .....    
     
Or BETTER Still LOVE ...    
... KISSES And HUGS ...      
     
While Men Now Sense ...    
That Girls Are TENSE ...    
     
So Now They TOO Are Indifferent ...    
To ... Trying To WOO ,,,    
     
Most Now Want Sex ...    
Without The STRESS ...    
of Women Who Use ......    
     
... Periodical Moods ... !!!    
     
As Their Excuse ...    
To ... Hurl ABUSE ... !!!    
     
See These Are Things ...    
INDIFFERENCE Brings ...    
     
Our DIFFERENCES ...    
Are UNIQUE GIFTS ... !!!   
     
NOT Presents That ....    
We Should ... Reject ... !!!    
     
It's Time I Sense ....    
To CONNECT Much MORE ... !!!  
And ... Separate LESS ... !!!!!!    
     
So Many Divorce ....    
From Life's Problems ....    
That When They Come ...    
They Get Struck ... NUMB.    
     
Life's Now NOT FUN ...    
Because We've RUN ...........    
     
From Making Sense of ...      
NONSENSE Fed By Governments ...    
Who Feed Us STRESS ...    
To Reduce Our Attempts ...  
To ... STAND AGAINST ... !!!    
     
Their ... DUD Concepts ... !!!!!!  
     
Please Folks PLEASE .... !!!!!    
Heed The Words That I Have Said ....    
     
And I Merely Suggest ....    
That You TRY Your BEST ....      
     
........ YES ....... !!!!!    
     
To Make A ......  
 
..... " Difference " .....
