A Civil Discourse
So it starts with a welcome to country
Which for some reason doesn’t sound too welcoming?
And seems to be about ownership & possession
And hidden behind the words is skin colour & racism
And revenge & hatred for the sins of the past
And the mistakes of the past still seem to be repeating
Only now they’ve been twisted around to the other side
And it’s all about sides & which side people are on
And the bigotry of the past is replaced by a new bigotry
So who is worth more now - black, brown, yellow, white?
And how is it valued –...

“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...

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...

But the truth is, there's no black and white

Within Our Human Pool ... ?!?...

Divided
Just when we get a victory,
The very first win...
Here comes the reminder:
This is a state we’ll always be in.
A country built from the labor of slaves,
I suppose I shouldn’t expect much more,
After all, this has always been their way,
To live our lives without fear is too much to ask for...
Instead we just have to say a prayer after we’ve opened the door.
Pray for a save return,
Because you never really know,
Never know when a homicidal manic may decide it’s time to feed his Ego.
They claim to fear for their lives, ...
The very first win...
