"Important" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 10/12/2005
So what's ... ???
IMPORTANT ... to you ... ?!?
Well ... for me ... ?
" My Health " ... for one ... !!!
and Food ... for two ...
and ... Number Three's
.... MY POETRY .... !!!!!
I hear you ask ....
"But V, what about
your family ?"
Well now my mum
rests peacefully
My family ...
mean ...
"little" ... to me ... !!!
because ... My Fam' ...
CLEARLY ... Believe
that ... Cash Money ...
Means ... MORE ...
than facing ... Tragedies ... !!!
that ....
Sometimes ... HIT ...
Young Families ...
Cashing cheques ...
and having ... Sex ...
are how they've been ...
That's Why ... they mean
"little" ...... to me .......
DON'T ... "pity me" ... !!!!!
because I ... Don't Need ...
Your ... " Sympathy " ... !!!!!
When ... most believe ...
that life is .... ALL ....
About ... MONEY ... ?!!!?
" Greed "... DOES NOT ...
Fulfil .... Your Needs ....
and Won't ... " Save You " ...
from ... " Evil Deeds " ... !!!!!!
Those who ... "Envy" ...
may just ... FEED ...
by taking ....
ALL YOUR ... " Luxuries " ... !!!!!
MTV ...
" Breeds " ... JEALOUSY ... !!!!!
"I Want What,
The Rich have got !"
Well .....
Don't be ... Shocked ...
if you are ... " Owned " ...
and ... HAVE TO DO ...
What you are ... TOLD ... !!!!!
to ... HOLD ONTO ...
THAT ... " Pot of Gold "
That's the way ...
" The Business " ... goes ...
You ... may not like ... !?!
" That " ... kind of life ...
" Everyone " ......
Can't Win ... TOP PRIZE ... !!!!!
Why place ... ???
... IMPORTANCE ...
on ... Such Highs ... !?!
They're not as great ...
as some ... may say ... !!!
That's why they ... NEED ...
HARD DRUGS ... most days ... !!!!!
Their life becomes
A ... " Purple Haze " ...
Hendrix Died ... !!!
because of ... drugs ...
He was ... Supplied ...
Admired by ... " Most " ...
from .... Coast to Coast ....
but then was .... Lost ....
to drugs like ... " Coc' " .... !!!
Just like ... " Rick James " ... !!!
Another Man
who lived ... A Life ...
of ... " Glitz and Fame " ... !!!
but .... Clearly took ...
TOO MUCH ... Cocaine ... !!!!!!
I place ... " Importance " ...
on ... Gaining Knowledge ...
" Knowledge is Power " ... !!!
and makes fools ... "cower" ... !!!
Knowledge of ... " Them " ...
DEFINES ... " Pretense " ... !!! ...
You're ... Better of ...
" Dismissing " .............. Fools .......
from your .................. presence .............................
So what ... " In Truth "
is ... Important to ... " You " ... ?
Well ... nowadays ...
We're Given ... " Clues " ...
from ... Things We ... SEE ... !!!!!
in ... News Reviews ...
The ... " Ones and Twos " ...
for those who ... walk ...
in ... " Hip Hop Shoes " ...
" TORTURE " ... it seems ...
for ... Government Crews ... !!?!!
because ....
The ... " In Thing " ... now ...
is ..... " NOT TO LOSE " ...
to ... Terrorist Groups ... !!!!!
Which ....
Simply leads
to ... More Issues ... !!!!!
" Leading to... "
Use of ... " Tissues " ...
What has happened ... ?
to ....... VALUES ......... !?!
IMPORTANT ... things ... !!!
and that's the ... TRUTH ... !!!!!
" Valued " .... Can ....
be .... Defined ....
as something that
is ... IMPORTANT ...
but values now
are ... CLEARLY ...
" dormant " ...
" Racists " .... now ....
will ... SCREAM and SHOUT ...
" GET THE BLACKS
and MUSLIMS OUT !!! "
We're ... CLEARLY ON ...
A ... " Roundabout " ... !!!!!
It's ...
" Funny " ... how blacks ...
are ... STILL ... put down ... !!!
Actually ... It's NOT ... !!!!!!!
" WE " ... Joke so much ...
about .... " Our Lot " ....
What kind of values ...
... Have We Got ... ?!?!?
" LYNCH " ...
is ... STILL ...
Providing ... " KNOTS " ... !!!!!
for ... " Uncle Toms' " ...
to sit and ... "Plot" ...
with .... Governments ....
who ... WILL NOT ... Stop ... !!!
Until ... " Black People " ...
Pay the ... COST ...
Like ... James Brown said ...
to be .... " The Boss " ....
" The Boss " ... of what ... !?!?!
OUR LUST ... for ... " Wealth " ...
may see us .... " ROT " .... !?! ....
What's .....
IMPORTANT ... to me ...
is ... " Knowledge of " ... SELF ... !!!!!
Then ... " Passing on..... " ...
The things i've seen ...
and YES ... been through ...
before ... Our Youth ...
CAN'T FIND ............ The Truth ............... !!!!!!!!
" The Truth " ..... about .....
how we were ... LYNCHED ... !!!!!
and ... Made to ... " WINCE " ... !!!!!!
and ... Constantly TOLD ...
"DON'T TRY TO THINK !!!!!"
Play Sport and ... " Sing " ... !!!
or .... Rap about ...
Your ... " Drug Dealing " ... !!!!!!
That's why .... SO MANY ....
FEEL ... " The Sting " ... !!!!!!!
Confinement in ...
" RACIST PRISONS " ... !!!!!
Where ... Many Now ...
just ... Hang Themselves ... !!!!!
Cards like ... THESE ...
have ... " Long been " ... dealt ...
by men like .... " Lynch " ....
whose story has ....
A .... " Racist Smell " ....
Things like ... THIS ...
are ... IMPORTANT ... to me ... !!!!!
NOT ... !!!
" Cash Money " ... !!!!!
or ... " Terrorist Speech " ...
While ... " Government Men " ...
Simply ..... " Retreat " ......
to .... Values like ....
Their ... " Private Beach " ... !!!!!
Surely folks ...
You ... " Must Agree " ... ?!?
Whats .....
IMPORTANT ... to ... THEM ...
is ..... DIFFERENT TO .....
What's ...
IMPORTANT ... to ... YOU ... !!!
and CLEARLY ... what's ...
IMPORTANT ... to ... ME ... !!!!!!!!
These things ... FUEL ...
My .... " Attitude " ....
because of ...
... IGNORANCE ...
Most ... " Choose " ... ?!? ...
I place ... VALUE ... !!!
on things that ... SHOULD ...
be taught in .... " Schools " .... !!!
My views are ... STAUNCH ... !!!
and ... NOT ... " Dormant " ... !!!!
because .....
Truth ... be told ...
They Are ...
... " IMPORTANT " ... !!!
IMPORTANT ... to you ... ?!?

Sadly this speaks nothing but truth...and to see that it was written in 2005 and today not much has changed except not there's more than just MTV glitzing and glamming life and not knowledge! Question...as you look over this poem..written 7 years ago...would you add, change, or move anything around? Just asking poetically.
Hey Hey Nik !!!
Oh, so you got the adult diapers now then !!!!! LOL
Very cool and interesting question, in answer, i'll say this, there are many things that my creative head has written, that years later, I could probably amend, but, as I pride myself on being as real with what I complete !
... as I can, I wouldn't change a thing, NO, because since then, I have written things, that, define a progression, or slightly different angle on something I had less knowledge, or, experience of ... Before ...
The poetic additions/amends, are in the pieces that have been written since and continue to be written ...
Good enough ???
Once again, nice to see that you could bring yourself to click and read ... ;-)
Bless & hope all is well with you and yours ....

Good to come back to another work of awesomeness.
So many good poems you've written and all so long ago, makes me anxious to write more material myself.
You are still one of my biggest modern inspirations you know.
You should really consider putting more of these into video. (mostly to truly capture your wicked flow, but also because videos are just easier to share.)
I will share this with my poetry group on Facebook though, let's get you some notoriety.

Hey Hey AC !!!!
Blessings to you sir, thank you very much for your compliments and support man !!!
It really is appreciated !!!
and keeps me equally as motivated and inspired .....
I am glad and humbled, that you see my writing as an inspiration !!!
Yeah, am trying on the video front bro, but, disputes and fear seems to have put vids on hold for now !!!
However, you'll be glad to hear I have been recording ... " THAT FLOW " ... you speak of ... just last week, so, to get things to share, you'll have to go to my webpage and pass on the vocals man .....
Movements are occurring, but, slow and steady wins the race I guess .... ???
As you have said, wait til' I get to posting, some of my more recent works, i'd like to think that i'm still improving ... !!!!
All the best ...
Virge !
