"Outspoken" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 20/11/2005

Folks ... People AREN'T Joking ... !!!

When They Say I'm ... " OUTSPOKEN " ... !!!!!

Sometimes I Say Things ...
That Leave People ... BROKEN ... !!!!!!!!

Some People Have Cried ...
Because of The Way I Speak About Life ...

Suffering PAIN And Dealing With STRIFE ... !!!
But Things That I Say Are Simple Reflections On Things In My Sight ...

Sometimes They Are WRONG ... !!!
Sometimes They Are RIGHT .... !!!!!!!!

But Speaking My Mind Should NOT Be A CRIME ... !!!!!
My Words Are Designed To Simply Invite ...
A Place Within Darkness Where CLARITY SHINES And LIGHT Is DEFINED ... !!!!!
Words I Now Write Are Simply Inclined To Lyrically Dine Recline And Be PRIMED ...

To Do What Is WISE And Pay CLOSE ATTENTION To REALITY'S ... Signs ... !!!

On How To Live A POSITIVE LIFE ... !!!

I'd Rather DO THAT Than Live Life To Fight ... ?!?

I'm NOT In A Rush To Lay Down And DIE ... !!!!!

Since I Was A Kid I've Always Been Quick ...
To Air My Opinions And Speak About Things ...

I LOVE TO Enlist The Use of EXPRESSION ...
It's CLEARLY A Gift And Now An OBSESSION ... !!!!!
Poems KEEP COMING Just Like A PROCESSION ... !!!!!

But Some Do NOT Like The Words I Recite ...
And DON'T Like The Sight of My Lips By A Mic' ... !!!!!

But Hey That's Okay ... !!!
They REALLY Miss Out At The End of The Day ... !!!

My Wordplay Has SUBSTANCE ...

EVEN When I RAGE ... !!!!!
But NEVER Indulges In ... Inciting HATE ... !!!!!!

But CLEARLY Reflects My Mood When IRATE ... !!!!!

But My Moods Like The Weather Show CHANGE EVERYDAY ... !!!!!

I Can't Be The Same And Always Be ... " tame " ... !?!
Those Who Want That Like CONTROLLING Brains ... !!!!!

And CLEARLY Are People Who NEED TO REFRAIN ...
From Trying To LIMIT What People Should Say ... !!!!!

We Need To Be Mindful of Those Who Relay ...
A Message That GLORIFIES DEVIANT Ways ... !!!!!!

Those Who Spread HATE And MURDEROUS Traits SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY ... !!!!!

But That's Just MY VIEW At The End of The Day ... !!!

Freedom of Speech Is BEAUTY To Me ... !!!

NOT Trying To Teach Or Trying To Preach ...
We ALL Have A Mouth I'd Rather Use SPEECH ... !!!
Than PHYSICAL CLOUTS That KNOCK People DOWN ... !!!!!

Brainpower FEEDS Off Wordplay That SPEAKS ...
To Souls Within People Who Choose NOT TO SEE ... !!!!!

A World Where We STOP Our Freedom of Speech ... !!!

Music Is SO GREAT When Wordplay Relates ...
A Feeling That TOUCHES And SENSUALLY CLUTCHES ...

SOMETHING DEEP Inside And HELPS PAIN ... Subside ................................

This Is One Reason I Now LOVE TO WRITE ... !!!!!
Because My Expression HELPS CHANNEL Aggression ... !!!
And Helps Me To STRENGTHEN My Use of Expression .... !!!

My OUTSPOKEN Nature Has Brought Me My TROUBLES ... !!!
But Has Been My SAVIOUR And Keeps Me From FORCES DARKER Than Vader's ... !!!!!

GREEN Is The Colour of YES My Light Sabre ... !!!!!

GREEN As In Country Where Animals ROAM ...................................................................
EXPRESSING Themselves In EVERY Zone .... !!!

We Sit And Watch Them When They Use EXPRESSION ...
And CANNOT DEFEND The Vision of Them Behind A ZOO Fence ... !!!

Don't Get It Confused I'm Simply Suggesting ...
That Airing Our Views Is SURELY A Thing We Should NOT REFUSE ... !!!

EVEN When People Say Things That ABUSE ... !!!
Because You Then KNOW If You Can Be COOL ...

And Even If NOT May Help You To Choose ...
A POSITIVE Way To RESOLVE Your Issues ... !!!

Being OUTSPOKEN Is NOT Always Good ... !!!!!
But Does Help A Person To Give You Some Clues ...
On What Fuels Their Mood And May Give You PROOF of What They're Into ...

I Now Prefer THAT Than Being With THOSE ...
Who Simply Sit Back And Wait For The Chance To Make An ATTACK ... !!!!!

What Is It THEY LACK That Makes Them DO THAT ... ?!?

Some Folks Are Like This And That's Just A FACT ... !!!!!

These Are The People Whose Words I'm Now Quoting ...
And NO ... I'm NOT JOKING ... !!!!!

These Are The People ...
Who Say .... " Virgil's " ....

...... " OUTSPOKEN " ...... !!!!!!!!
