Do you know Jesus
For how am I to know Thee
if I do not introduce myself to You
These rags I wear, the words I speak
are not worthy for Your view
Outward appearance, and composure
which makes me look so cool
the way I act, the things I say
only myself, is who I fool
Others can not see
whats in my heart, I hide
Secretly my greed and lust
they feed my haughty pride
For when I come to You in prayer
the words that I let slip
It is not You that will condemn me
my own heart, will read its scripts
The truth will...
if I do not introduce myself to You
These rags I wear, the words I speak
are not worthy for Your view
Outward appearance, and composure
which makes me look so cool
the way I act, the things I say
only myself, is who I fool
Others can not see
whats in my heart, I hide
Secretly my greed and lust
they feed my haughty pride
For when I come to You in prayer
the words that I let slip
It is not You that will condemn me
my own heart, will read its scripts
The truth will...

Small Farmers
They say
the bread basket
of a nation
is the land
But without
those
who know
how to use it
without the help
that they need
from us
we will
sooner or later
Starve
In this day and age
Everybody
bites the hands
that feeds us
by our Silance
In this
day and age
in our
concrete jungles
our only interest
in the land
is not
what grows from it
it is what
grazes
apon it
the bread basket
of a nation
is the land
But without
those
who know
how to use it
without the help
that they need
from us
we will
sooner or later
Starve
In this day and age
Everybody
bites the hands
that feeds us
by our Silance
In this
day and age
in our
concrete jungles
our only interest
in the land
is not
what grows from it
it is what
grazes
apon it

The seat of the mind
This sentience is a curse upon us all
To know one's self is to know one's pain
To feel life is to feel the fear of death
The brain is the seat of all Human suffering
To contemplate life is to contradict yourself
For in thinking there is doubt, and in doubt surety
Only surety in knowing just how uncertain you are
That you are the only self-aware creature here
Or anywhere for that matter
And perhaps you aren't self-aware at all
To know one's self is to know one's pain
To feel life is to feel the fear of death
The brain is the seat of all Human suffering
To contemplate life is to contradict yourself
For in thinking there is doubt, and in doubt surety
Only surety in knowing just how uncertain you are
That you are the only self-aware creature here
Or anywhere for that matter
And perhaps you aren't self-aware at all

“CLEARLY NOT Like ME !” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 30/6/2020
Now My Name’s NOT Shaggy ...
But It’s Clearly NOT ME ... !!!
Who Will ... EVER Be ...
A Star Like Those Who Hold BIG Shows ...
Where Droves And Droves of People Go ... !!!
To Hear Them Sing And Do Their Thing ...
As In ... Perform Their Music ...
Or Be On Stage ... Acting ...
Or Be Someone Who Gives ...
... Public Speeches ...
About How To Live ...
Because They Are Rich ... !!!
But That’s Okay ... !!!
Because What I CLAIM ...
Is Worth MORE Than Fame ...
And A FAMOUS Name ... !!!
...
But It’s Clearly NOT ME ... !!!
Who Will ... EVER Be ...

Understanding what a great happiness it is to be able to take the self on a spiritual path which includes
pharmaceutical blockers of testosterone
(goddess worship)
–the me which I had locked myself into
was a shell–
I kept trying to pierce that bubble. Two
and a half years; deconstructing
my mind; going completely mad
voluntarily; losing it. Doing so because I
knew that on the other side of that, in
conjunction with following a self-
consciously defined "spiritually
transgender path," there lay a different
person.
And I knew that I would have given
everything...

Cracking
It's strange
when you
think about it
Living within
straight edges
straight angles
Corners
Living
in a clearly
Defined
Box
While in Nature
the only
angles
and corners
that you see
Are Cracks

You, Me and Eternity - a Quantum Puzzle
If every outcome exists
in a haze of probability
then when I see you
you aren’t showing me
your very best
instead you show me
the life I need to see
in you all
my teachers
of all life lessons
to become the
very best
possibility
in quantum eternity
that I can be
in a haze of probability
then when I see you
you aren’t showing me
your very best
instead you show me
the life I need to see
in you all
my teachers
of all life lessons
to become the
very best

Hoax
What a hoax, this life
Like burning candles bright
Fading, melting into a night
Like a falsified star
Exploding lies evades a goodbye
You creep and crawl, like an evil spy
What a hoax, your love
Your tragic eyes
You fade like stars
From dawn through night
Your lies, deceit, ruptured pride,
You broke my joy,
Reject my cries.
What a hoax, this emotion
That leads me awry
Steal my innocence
You left me blinded and sorry
Searching for truth, and for my sanity
You left me emotionless
Horrified by my...

"truth of life"(the bottom line)
people say things like, things will get worse before it gets "better"....
the problem is that people will always have their own idea of what "better" is....
everything up to this very moment; it's not "better", it's not "safe", it hasn't been "fair", it hasn't been "right"....
religion, politics.... we're born in "sin"(a chaotic reality); that much one can agree with.... and a contract with fine print one hasn't signed up for....
born to grow up to ride a high horse that isn't...

Walking these streets
My feet stick to the pavement
Wet with blood and cum
The air thick and stagnant
Settling in the lungs like ash
All around are seas of broken glass
And scattered shards of dreams
Children with vacant eyes
Playing at gutter wars
Their miniature armies
Filling the night with screams
Teenage existentials
Nursing junk habits
Prepubescent mothers
Trading food stamps for meth
Beggars with cellphones
Pacing the medians
Pigs in blue getting head
In silent...
My feet stick to the pavement

Filling the night with screams
Teenage existentials

Noah's Ark
Noah's Ark
To be found
In the US Mid West
Dinausors inclusive
Though, as per Creationists
The world is but
Six thousand years old
And flat on top of that
While dinausors had been
Around and eliminated
Way before (one theory
Of extinction or another)
Did it also perhaps have
On board north american buffaloes?
A land unknown at the time...
Faith goes one way
Truth and science quite
Another.
