“Hard Line” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 29/11/2020
It’s TRUE That I’m A Guy ...
Who Writes The Type of Rhymes ...
That Take A HARD LINE ...
Or Stance ... If You Like ... !!!
On Everything From Race ...
To Things That Equate ...
To Being ... INHUMANE ... !!!
In Ways That Dish Out PAIN ...
And NOT USING Our Brains ...
So HARD LINES That I Take ...
Are NOT Made For GAIN ... !!!
Or To Join ... MONEY Trains ... !!!
They Deal In Something MORE ...
Like ... HIGH Levels of Thought ... !!!
So AREN'T Those That Are BOUGHT ...
Like Sex Acts...

Yes, it happened
here in the United States
a mere 100 years ago
yet the bulk of Americans
are just now learning about it
Oklahoma
Tulsa
Greenwood
---up to 300 Black lives
and billions in wealth
by todays standards---
an entire neighborhood
erased by jealous people
bent on creating a world
where only Whites...

"They Can't Break Our Spirits"
Treaty lies hidden behind smiling eyes
Shaking hands baring blood of shaken lands
The remains of buffalo slaughter surrounding all sides.
Misinformed malicious murderers making massacre
On Cypress Hills side.
Wounded Knee brings Terrorist America to a bloody knee.
The forgotten stories, hidden atrocities, defiled casualties of
Early blood-thirsty democracies.
Treaty lies hidden behind smiling eyes
Shaking hands baring scars of fractured hearts
The haunting remains of Residential School stains.
Assembling Christian...

Shaking hands baring scars of fractured hearts
The haunting remains of Residential School stains.

I wouldn't mind if this one gets degraded and hated
Do you know why we never seem to acknowledge how much we have in common,
But know what we have so different?
Because our Media select what we seeing
Riots, hatred, violence and everyone thinks they're the victim.
When was the last time you turned on a TV and saw a black man and white man hugging it out?
It's black lives matter, and all lives matter
The Morden segregation that none of us seem to figure out.
I wouldn't mind if this one gets degraded and hated
But the truth is, there's no black and white
It's us who select to see...

Words given at sunrise
Meticulous mayhem”--
What a paradoxical phrase to wake up with!
And yet, there it was this morning,
begging to be put to use;
but I had no idea how.
This evening, an assignment I’ve chosen;
learning history, politics, spirituality,
violence inflicted by country and church
on indigenous brothers and sisters;
stories gut-wrenching and hard,
but white woman’s tears serve no purpose here;
my job is to listen and learn.
This work requires intentionality,
discipline for difficult conversations,
a conscientious,...

Fingertips
Did you feel it
The shame of what you did?
I did
I wished I bit my tongue.
Did you feel the wrongness,
That you had no right-
I did
I wished I’d “minded my own business.”
Did you know
The way your action spread hatred?
I did
I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.
Were you embarrassed?
When I said “that’s not okay”
I was.
I wished I could disappear.
Did you really think
Linger on your own words?
I did
I thought you might be right
(Was I being too sensitive-?)
Did you regret your actions ...

“Come Together” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 19/2/2021
So Will Humanity EVER ...
REALLY COME TOGETHER ... ?!?
When Racism Factors ...
In EVERY Chapter of Human Matter ... !!!
When Pale Skin Clans ...
Don’t Like Those With Tans ...
And Those With Tans ...
Have Problems With Blacks ... ?!?
And The Flavour In Asia ...
ISN'T One To Savour ...
When The Darker You Are ...
The Lower Your Caste ... !!!
To The Point Where Dark Crews ...
Are Called ... UNTOUCHABLES ... !!!
Does Togetherness Rule ...
Within Our Human Pool ... ?!?...
