"Help" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 29/10/2005
So Many ... CLAIM ... !!!
They want to ... HELP ... !!!
but seem ... to me ...
To Help ... " Themselves " ... !?!
from ... " Charities " ...
to .... " Families " ....
Who Help .......... long after ........
........ " TRAGEDIES " ........
Even those in ... " Poetry " ...
Seem ... " reluctant " ...
to ..... " Use Me " .....
because of words .....
They Hear ... me speak ...
Black and White ....
have ... " Fear-Filled Eyes " ...
When They ... Hear Me ...
.... Use A Mic ....
I'm Sure ... In Truth ...
It's NOT ... " Just Me " ... !!!!!
but those who ... " Don't " ...
Use ... " Processed Speech " ...
and ... REJECT ... joining ...
..... PHONEY CLIQUES .....
They ...
Seem to ... Like ...
How Things ... now are ... ?!?
... " ILLITERACY " ...
from ...
Class to ... Bars
Their form of ... " Help " ...
Hasn't ... " Got Us Far " ... !!?!!
My use of ... Speech ...
Ain't Always ... " Street " ...
and ... Doesn't Always ...
... Frighten Peeps' ... !!!!!!!
But Nowadays ....
that's how you reach ...
" Youth " ... whose lives ...
.... " FEEL " .... Incomplete ....
I've heard this said
"Virge, kids would,
really, love your words !"
and now i'm finding ...
it's ... " The Youth " ...
Who Like ... my stuff ...
and think it's ... " Cool " ...
So now ... I'd Like ...
to work ... in schools ... !!!
and touch ... these kids ...
with ... " Different Views " ...
That's ... A Start ...
but ... " Uni's " ... TOO ... !!!!!
because ...
they are ... " Deemed " ...
to have ... " The Youth " ...
who'll ... Run The World ...
and make ... STRONG MOVES ... !!!!!
but now ...
I've Got To ...
Go To School ... !!!!
to ... Prove that I ...
Can Teach ... The Youth ...
So Much for ....
These ... " Funded Groups " ... !!!
Are they trying to ...
....... " Help " ....... ?
or ... FILL THEIR BOOTS ... ?!?
Just like ... MANY ...
... " Aid Groups " ... DO ... !!!
I'm now ... " Confused " ... ?
and may .... " Refuse " ....
to do .... What's Right ....
and ... Help The Youth ...
While .... Parents Cry ....
into ... " TISSUES " ... !!!!!
The ... " Poetry Scene " ...
is ... FILLED ... with dreams ...
but ... Run by ... "Those" ...
who are ..... unseen .......
They ... FLY ...
through here ... !!!
and ... FLY ...
through there ... !!!
but ...
Never Seem ...
to be ... Prepared ...
to bring ... " Those In " ...
Who are ... NOT SCARED ... !!!
to speak ... " Their Mind " ...
Through ... " Clever Rhyme " ... !!!!!
and use ... The Truth ... !!!!!
to .... " Reflect Times " ....
Times that ... WARRANT ...
HARDCORE LINES .... !!!!!!!!!!!
" Well " ... designed ...
and Yes ... " Refined " ... !!!
To ... HELP ... Our Youth ...
to ... STOP ... the crimes ...
Leading to ....
" Premature " ... FLATLINES ... !!!!!!!
Why ... " Decline " ... ?!?
to use ... " Such Rhyme " ... !?!
........ " Time " ..........
just ... Rolls on........................
You Can't ... REWIND ... !!!!!
and time ... Right Now ...
is .... " Running Out " ....
While ... groups like ... " These " ...
are .... " Making Pounds " .... !!!
and ...
Getting Grants ... !!!!!
to do ... " What's Right " ... ???
and .... ENERGIZE .... !!!
Our Youth to .... LIVE .... !!!!!
A POSITIVE LIFE ... !!!!!
by ... using those ...
who write ... Good Prose ...
and ... KNOW ABOUT ...
Life's HIGHS ... and ... lows ... !!!!!
From ...
Taking Dope ...
to ... Snorting Coc' ... !!!!!
because ....
things like ... these ...
ARE NOT .... A Joke .... !!!!!
and have left ...
MANY ... Young Hearts ...
...... BROKE ...... !!!!!!
It's ... CLEARLY TIME ... !!!!!!
to .... " Utilize " .... rhyme ....
If you don't believe me ...
Ask .... Stephen Fry .... !!!!
He LOVES ... poetry ...
as much as ... I ...
from ... Classics to ...
Contemporary Styles ...
when rap's done ... " WELL " ...
It Drives kids ..... WILD ..... !!!!!!
and when ... " Applied " ...
to ... " Childrens' Minds "
You may just find ... ?
They'll ... REJECT ... " Crime " ...
and be ..... CONSTRUCTIVE .....
with .... Their Time .... ? !!! ? ....
These words of mine ...
are YES ... " Heartfelt " ...
but ... Wonder When ... ???
These Groups will ... " Smell " ...
The Coffee ... and will ...
REJECT ... Tea ... !!!!!
and ... Utilize ...
My poetry ....
cos' words I write ...
Are Worth ... money ... !!!
and ... NEED TO BE ...
Passed on with ... STEALTH ... !!!!!
cos' right now ... I ...
DON'T LIKE ... The Smell ... !!!!!!
of those who ... CLAIM ... !!!
They're ... trying to ...
....... " HELP " ....... !!!
They want to ... HELP ... !!!
but seem ... to me ...

Simply my views...and my views only..help whatever form is just that..help...teaching and molding that's where future expansions are...can't "teach" in schools..then do so AFTER school...that's when the most "help" is needed...after the bells ring and life waves in....

Hey Nikinshell,
Considering I wrote this back in 2K5, i'm not sure I agree with you, but, as you say, YOUR VIEW, which you are of course, entitled to !!!
Help is HELP.
I'm really not sure these days, that people even get what it means to TRULY Help, is all ....
Bless Up.

I did note the date! Glad we can respectfully disagree...I guess my viewpoints is that the evolution (in many ways lack there of) of the school systems has left teachers and paras disenchanted and WORN out when it comes to thriving young minds bogged down with..for shortening purposes.."life"...It takes a village to raise a child...unfortunately our villages are not stepping up....so HELP starts at HOME...with us. OK---enough of that..appreciate the write..have to admit I get a lil intimidated to respond to your works...but I am working on putting on my big girl panties! :)
Hoped you had noted it !
Hey, don't let the words scare ya Niki !!! LOL !!!
Our Villages, or, Our PEOPLE, as in Humanity ???
I go with PEOPLE, but, if you are checking my works, you'd know my frustrations are mostly with IGNORANT people, of ALL Colour types etcetera etcetera !!!!!
You want me buy & then send you some, adult diapers, when I post fresh bits ?!?
LMAOL ....
Poetry is about EXPRESSION, is it not ?!?
So, EXPRESS YOURSELF girl ... !!!
I only give harsh responses, when ppl are disrespectful, but, criticism on my work, I expect, so .... Go fa ya life Niki ....
The V... ;-)

Reads almost like a comedy routine, except of course illiteracy and un-educated minds are nothing to joke about.
Now your getting me AC ... !!!
Many have claimed that my words are anger-filled, when in actual fact, i'm really taking sardonic swipes at the things people do, and, how society seems to actually run, rather than how people, "Perceive It", to be run ....
If I really was a as angry as people claim my words to be, i'd already be locked up ... !!! LOL !!!
" The Humour ", is in the fact that, most of the things that I take swipes at, in truth, are NOT, as you say man ... " Funny AT ALL " ...
All the best man ...
