"Questions" ... Written by Big Virge 21/3/2005


So ..... What makes these stupid blacks think that crime and selling crack will get them out the ghetto ? What makes these fools think that ?!? And ...... What makes white people think that when they've had a drink they can act the way they like !?! But blacks can't How's that right ?!? And ..... Why do white folks love their pets ? give them treats and keep them fed Even take them to ... " Club Med " ... but won't let black folks in their bed ?!? Do you get what i'm saying ? Okay ... NUFF SAID. And ..... Why do people say ? "Hi, you're a cool guy !" But then won't look you in your eyes ? And ..... What's with these blokes who sniff the Coc' and take this life thing for a joke ?!? Women like to sniff it too ! What's with you girls ? Don't you like you ? It seems you don't ... I don't either ... Does this mean that we are cool ??? Why have children ? If you're just gonna kill em' !?! And ..... What makes me like to hear the Irish say ... " Fil-um-m " ... !?! And ..... What makes the English Language So ... AWFULLY CORRECT ... ? When the royal family's from a German Sect ?!? And ..... Why do poets fear me ? Because my voice makes mellifluous noise !?! Or ... could it be ... ? because i'm black and speak what's fact ?!? Why can't poets deal with that ? And ..... Why don't poets just connect with my form of intellect ? I guess it's cos' I challenge these self obsessed poets ! And ..... What's with these greedy rappers who walk straight into debt just for a spot on MTV ? Those words don't come from jealousy ... I wrote those words because of these ! MTV Rappers make the WORST CD's ! I'm NOT Feeling Them Are you feeling me ? Are you feeling my style of poetry ? It's NOT Rap Don't get trapped ! I'm filling the gap with poetic rap ! And ..... Why do critics Keep on STRESSING ! "Art gives freedom to creative expression !" But ..... When artists use Freedom to express Critics try to censor them ?!? Question THIS Or ... Question THAT These are questions based on FACT !!! Cos' TOO MUCH FICTION Clouds ... Mass Vision ... So what do you make of my lyrical depictions ? You may say ... "Hey, that's quite a display of questions about our world today !" Well ... That is true ... but it's more about You ... How You See Me ... and how we see our society Do you feel free Or ... Do You FLEE ......................... From ........................................... REALITY ... !?! Well that could be ... cos of HIS- Story ?!? Now MY Story's Built From HONESTY ... !!! Honesty based on the things I see INSIDE of You and ... INSIDE Me ... People who tell LIES FREELY ... ?!? People STOPPING My Poetry .... From ... Getting to the people It needs to reach Sometimes this ... Does make me mad ! More time it ... Just makes me sad ... But when I read from ... ..... My Notepad ..... Words i've written Make Me GLAD ... !!! Because things I write Want GOOD ... NOT Bad ... !!! and won't become a Passing Fad ... !!! Maybe It Will ... ??? Now that would be a ... ... BITTER PILL ... !!! But through my will I'll keep water testing ... And Hope The Creator Will Keep On Blessing ... Me with thoughtful poetry and answers to these ........ .... " Questions " ....
