“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.
whether you believe, 7/7 was a Muslim,
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 ...
Are love and want
The sun will rise whether you do or not
The guns will rise
At everyones expense

Where the honor of Samurai fell

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...

A Sky Without Clouds
All the clouds fled from the sky
So the people tried to get them back
Luring them with flowers the color of hard candy
Tempting them with songs that sounded sweet like children’s laughter
But the clouds kept drifting until
There was nothing but empty sky
And clear skies leave too much room for reflection
The people could not see the beauty in broken things
The sun was too honest, uninterrupted by clouds or filtered by fog
It burned their skin and made them feel
Transparent and overexposed like a film negative
And its hard to fall in love in a...

Possessions
Thoreau was right... so
let me make a few confessions
I yearn not to have a lot of possessions
the clothes that I like and my favorite book
picture albums and some utensils to cook
I like the idea of living on less
too many things can make such a mess
because how many things do people really need
in order to be happy and have enough to eat
robbing the earth of treasures galore
for what -- most people just want
more more more
when will it ever be enough ...
