“In The Sand” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 18/9/2020
In These Days And Times ...
It Seems That Minds Are Inclined ...
To Plead ... IGNORANCE ...
When It Comes To The Plans ...
of These Government Clans ...
So Are Dipping Their Heads ...
That’s Right ... IN THE SAND ... !!!
I’m Hearing Chat From A Lot of Mans ...
That Is ... TRULY SAD ... !!!
When Talk Like THIS ...
Is Now Coming From Lips ... ?!?
“They Won’t Stop Me ...
From Keeping My Freedom !”
And .....
“I No Longer Watch The News,
Cos’ They Corrupt The Truth !”...

Institutionalized
Institutionalized,
A narrative sown in history
Has branches growing back
Some several thousand years
As humans started keeping track,
And a wise man once said
“You better learn or else you’re doomed,
"Repeating ancient history
"Kinda like my Moody Blues.”
So here we are,
It’s the current year;
Another catastrophe...

One Step Forward .....?
Humanity began to grieve
Over a man, that couldn't breathe
That this reflected, an unbalanced inhumanity
As the world witnessed, a toxic insanity
As a cold, and callous individual
An audience recorded, their nightmarish vigil
They witnessed the actions, of this one man
That had oft been repeated, by others of his clan
All the rotten apples, that fell from this same tree
We're joined together, in a harsh brutality
Surely humanity, can be better than this
And love our diversity, a long time amiss
We all bleed red, and breathe the same...

Observing Things
Did humans through Cain and Abel introduce ourselves to death
Will we begin burning skeletons when there's no rain forest left
We're cutting down bodies at the same rate as trees
Wars leaving us on the battlefields like dead fucking leaves
Someone dreamt to build industry all along waterways, a poisonous dream
This dream was a nightmare declaring death to everything down stream
Logging again adding to the destruction, poisoning rivers and creeks
The eroding land left behind is still reaching it's peak
Topsoil washing away carrying...
Will we begin burning skeletons when there's no rain forest left

Solipsism: the universe amazes, appals, and AMAZES me
I know
I am not
the creator
of the universe
because I would never
do some of these things
to other people!

By Hatchet, Axe and Saw
Another lesson learned burned into my mind
As it turned into a philosophical perspective
Is equality really equal if it’s enforced by law?
Are we not the same made by nature’s objective?
Should we be careful with what we ask for?
Will the consequences have a different effect?
But the professor had been a fan of Rand
He was a well-read man and was full of intellect
For a while I pondered, wondered and sundered
Should we be happy with our place in the universe?
Do we strive for more light, for more power
For some it may be...

rules of engagement
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for
them which despitefully use you, and persecute you..."
Matthew 5:44 KJV
he was a prisoner
of war,
by far
a wicked treasoner;
yet, when i saw him so
athirst,
my first
instinct compelled me to
go fetch him water,
and charge him after.
he was an hungered for
some bread;
i fed
his gut, despite the war.
naked was he in chains:
he stood
there...

Growth - With Women
When Big to Small, the Macro and All; Can Sense the Deep Due Time; When a Person is on the Strength of his Mind; But her to see the Sense of Me, When Troubles Plea the Reality. How Hope the Found is in Dear Good Time, When Measures do Come in the Reality of the Mind. "I" Have Seen How Things do Really Occur, When Mankind Do things in their Store. They Hold the Peace for a Certain of Time, Then they Wash over to War in their Mind. I Can Not Sense the real in Peace, Because the Worry is set out to Diss. The People do War and Hold Their Time, In Their Set of Peace their is no Mind: Growth

Free Speech
Legislators tell us that free speech is a constitutional right of every citizen,
Yet they fight with one accord against the people who speak the truth
Politicians become so agitated when someone exposes their evil plots
They try to silence the persons who speak out against injustice and corruption
Furthermore, they even violate the rights that they say the citizens have
According to the education that we have received, what is free speech?
Free speech is the right to publicly express any views without censorship or restraint
This means that we...

the grocery/wine shop
The grocery/ wineshop
Once when he lived in Faro (Portugal) and walking about
he came across a grocer shop that was new in 1950.
As window display a packet of washing powder, fossilized
the name of the powder was Blenda, of the same type
his mother had used and tinned sardines.
He entered and was gripped by the sadness of the shop.
It was bigger than he had thought, barrels of wine, and in a dark corner, old men sat drinking in silence.
So, it was an unofficial wine shop, a hiding place
for the aged who had resigned to their fate of...
