“Who’s Next ???" ... A poem written by Big Virge 25/07/05
(Pt. III)
After the 7/7 bombing ...
This is part of a Trilogy of poems to remind people about
where some of their, " Anti-Islam Rhetoric ", started from ....
(BTW ... I am NOT, Pro-Islam)
People, as much as it seems,
disconnected from, the 7/7 attacks.
One should recognise,
The murder of Jean Charles De Menezes ...
Yeah ... Remember Him !!!
R.I.P.
It's CLEAR.

Islamist attack, or not ?

Motivational Musings in an Undead World
I've been wonderin'
if I can
pick it all up -
lift the solemn sentience
of yesterday's happenings
to the application
of each today.
I've forgotten
what's worth the insatiable
yearning
rushing in
with every rise of my eyelids.
I don't know
what to do with
all the time
that demands its own wasting.
Is it healthy
to simply adjust
to the manufactured rhythms
of our taxidermied days?
Is it a fool's game
to follow the paths available - ...

United We Create Wisdom
The serpent…
Intelligence, the fable creature
who touted his intelligence
to temp the innocent into craving
the capacity for learning,
reasoning and understanding;
acquiring an aptitude to grasp
truths, facts, meanings,
and then gathering or distributing of that
selfsame information,
especially secret information.
Ah it is a heady feeling indeed
when we feel we have bridged
the known and the unknown
accessing knowledge that is forbidden,
we easily become proud,
arrogant and haughty in our ...

The Modern Revolution Handbook
The only things trapping us to this earth
Are love and want
The sun will rise whether you do or not
The guns will rise
At everyones expense
We are all poor in this sense
None of us are immune to this disease
We cling to this life for want
Not for need but greed
Where the honor of Samurai fell
Desperation and cowardice rose
There are no true warriors anymore
Any man or child can pull a trigger...
We can take our life at any moment easily
But to live it, many are too afraid
Afraid to look past all their silly wants ...

MANKIND
(visual poem)
In humbleness
I prevail
Showing every failure
As humanly possible
Imperfectly aware
In blind rage
That only God
Forgives

Showing every failure

In Lima – Peru- a hippo was pulling the tram car with
its best friend a water buffalo. They had ended up
here, far from Africa, after the great flood ebbed and
had been blessed with eternal life, only being mere
animals they didn´t know this. In Lima no one made
a big issue of this, but when the wider world knew
and some adventurers set about trying to kill the pair,
in vain, the Lima people took another look, especially
since the church thought they were the devil´s own
handiwork and god would never had allowed beasts...

To the Graceful Swans
To answer your question: “Why in the world do they join the choir I'll never know”
Henry David Thoreau said it best, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
Everyone has a unique song inside, my vestal
fidus Achates friend
But many just carol along with other carnies
to follow the latest trend
But birds of grander plume, often
sing alone
while pigeons nibble street crumbs
to elevate their throne
Contented fowl sing for themselves, and often
sing it...

Curse Of A Suicidal Earth
The last words mumbled
Under weak breath
Will be a curse
To this day
But before that
I am anew
Cleansed of yesterday
And its mess
I walk along
Through other’s lives
Tired dissidence
All I find
A harsh philosophy
Rules the now
Save the world
Kill yourself
Burning buildings
To my left
Year-long riots
To my right
You’ve come and gone
So I’m not looking
For an answer
Stuck in the question
Doesn’t matter anyway
In front of me
Lies even worse news
World lost its...
