Comfortable Sarcophagus
Pain only shows that life isn't hopeless
It only make an individual more focus,
"A grip on their reality with ultimate control
As they become king of their own black hole,
"A black empire that cries tears of blood
With the bleak option if they wanna show love,
"Or mercy-which ever one is to their liking
But fear can be employed like an invading Viking,
"Determination motivates those never to quit
Making hatters feel like they stepped in dog shit,
"Disgusted because they're shit out of luck
But like a...

A Telling
Shorn of pride
To see was Samson made blind
And daily the rut of a circle tread
A circle's without beginning
A circle's without end
A circle's eternal
And so is the spirit
And from his rounds
Beaten
And mocked in woe
Brought to stand between columns
Two pillars or poles
Two poles with Samson centered made three
The triptych
The gateway ...

“They’re Really Not About That” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 10/9/2021
Now When It Really Comes To …
People Hearing Truth And Facts …
Do Not Get It Confused …
They’re Really Not About That … !!!
These Deceitful Crews …
Who Like To Run BIG CHAT …
That Stinks MORE Than Crap … !!!
“ Oh I Can Handle The Truth ! “
“Now you know that’s not true.
There’s no movie crew,
filming in a courtroom,
and your name ain’t Jack !
So stop putting up acts,
that you know you can’t back !
You’re more like Tom Cruise,
trying to act like your cool,
when the truth hits you !”

Individualistic v. Collectivist Culture
Man: That fire is coming toward my house!
Neighbor one: That’s not my problem
Neighbor two: Regardless, we should help before the fire spreads to us all
Neighbor one: That’s not my problem
Neighbor two: Regardless, we should help before the fire spreads to us all

Just an observation
Some things are perfect
Like rainbows
Like stars
Like sunsets
Like water droplets
Some things are perfectly imperfect
Like autumn leafs
Like trees
Like stones
Like fire
Some things are purely human
Like religion
Like money
Like morality
Like art
Like you
Like rainbows
Like stars
Like sunsets
Like water droplets
Some things are perfectly imperfect
Like autumn leafs
Like trees
Like stones
Like fire
Some things are purely human
Like religion
Like money
Like morality
Like art
Like you

world wreath
We started at the end.
At the darkest point , we never arrived, soul brushed , bruised and sun blind.
We carried life as an unborn fetus not knowing . The midwife of mourning stood
in the shaded shards weaving her garments of ashes. Molded into molasse where
a carcass lay bare.
Heaven
No one knew if it was inherit to any human,
to any animal, to any bio sphere, of any diaspore.
Into soil and matter was made into beehive of the brain.
Hell is in your eyes
moon
and
I
cry

“Building Bridges” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 8/7/2021
It’s A Funny Old Business ...
This Burning of Bridges ...
Because Speaking Your Mind ...
Seems To Be What Defines ...
The Type Who Burns Bridges ...
Who Just Won’t Play Nice ... !!!
So Does Burning A Bridge ...
Simply Mean Speaking TRUTH ... ?
Because When You Speak It ...
It Tends To Give Proof ...
That Bridges Existence ...
Then Get Burned With Swiftness ... !!!
Or Do LIES ... Truly Bind ...
Building Bridges And Ties ... ?!?
When Bridges Have Interests ...
That Invest In Sinning ... ...

“Organised” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 19/8/2021
Now I’m A Disciplined Guy ...
Or That’s Right I’m Organised ...
But ... My Oh My ...
In These Covid Times ...
... Disorganisation ...
Seems To Be Stationed ...
In A Lot of Locations ... !!!
And Is Causing Heads ...
A Great Deal of Upset ...
Due To Workmen ...
Whose Work Practices ...
Are Far From The Best ...
So Are Causing Heads Stress ...
When They Come Incorrect ... !!!
Because They’re Not Organised ...
When It Comes To The Times ...
That They Choose To Arrive ...
And...

Unbalanced
If the world
Was indeed flat
I'm sure it would tip over
Just like that
Like scales
The weight of the West
Would unbalance
The rest
As we would then
Be catapulted into
The darkness
Of space
Equal
Only in death
Everything that lives
Can't just take
It needs to also
Give
Love, and care
Alone
Does not feed
The hungry
As words
Will not repair
The home
We all share
When we damage the Earth
We are damaging ourselves
Like masochistic
Warriors
