'Meditation' ... A Poem written by Big Virge 22/3/2006

I Used To Meditate In My YOUNGER Days... !!!
The Day I Stopped Was A Crying Shame... !!!
But I Now Meditate In A... DIFFERENT Way... !!!

I Meditate NOW By Picking Up A Pen And Writing Down...
ESPECIALLY When I Start To FROWN... !!!!!!

Poetry FEEDS My ENERGIES...
And Helps My Mind FIND... " Inner Peace "...

I Write About The Things I SEE...
Within My Life And On The Streets...

It's A Form of Meditation... My Poetic Word Creation...
It FEEDS My RESPIRATION Thus AVOIDING Palpitations... !!!

Palpitations... In My MIND When Inclined To RECOGNISE...
That MANY DIE Because of LIES...
And THOSE Who CHOOSE To PERPETRATE CRIMES... !!!

..................… ” Meditation " …................

Through My Rhymes MAINTAINS My Search For LIGHT...
That Helps Me STAND And FIGHT For What I THINK Is RIGHT... !!!

What's RIGHT For ME Is REGULAR Use of Poetry... !!!
It's As If I MEDITATE When My Pen EMBRACES Page...

And Starts To Relay...
How I Feel About The World...
And Our Lives... Today...

Sometimes I Simply Drift AWAY............................... .................
Through... Time And Space...
In Other Words Folks I... MEDITATE... !!!

I Write With A RHYTHM Some People Say...
That's Because of THE TUNES I Put On PLAY ... !!!

That's Why My Wordplay DOESN'T Seem To Be... " Staged "...
There Is NO STAGE When You... MEDITATE... !!!!!

Are You Reading Me Folks Cos' That's NO JOKE... !!!
Words Like THOSE You Should Let.... SOAK...............

SOAK INSIDE... Your Heart And Mind...
I DON'T Presume To KNOW What's Right... !!!

But You May Find This Helps Your SIGHT...
And Eventually SEE How Poetry CAN FEED Your NEEDS... !!!

Write For... YOU...
And Then You'll Find YOUR Rhythm Too... !!!!!!

Meditation IS... BENEFICIAL Food...
When NOT ABUSED By HARD DRUG Use.... !!!!!

CLARITY of Mind HELPS You Recline...
And NOT Resign To MISSING Signs...
of What Is WRONG And What Is RIGHT... !!!

Mediation HELPS You FIND Yourself...
And BREEDS A WEALTH of MENTAL HEALTH... !!!!!!!!

It Also SOOTHES Your DARKEST Moods...

ESPECIALLY When It's USED To IMPROVE...
How You FEEL About... YOU... !!!
The Basis of Which Is Being... TRUE... !!!!!

My Poetry SEEKS To TOUCH And REACH................
A Place of BEAUTY CALM And PEACE............................

Meditation FEEDS My Poetic Creations...
And Helps EXCEED My... "Limitations"... !!!!!
And EASES YES My... Respiration...

BREATHE In................................. .................................
BREATHE Out................................ .................................

And Then... EXPOUND...
By USING Scripts Like RHYTHMIC Sounds...
This Is How I MEDITATE NOW... !!!

Which Is Why My Words Are Humility Bound... !!!
Humble Because The Path I've Found...
Helps My Feet STAY... ON The Ground... !!!

My Form of... " Meditation "...
Helps BUILD My Education ABOUT Our Population...
That's Why I'm Now Relating About THIS Meditation....
That KEEPS My Soul ON TRACK And Suitably STATIONED... !!!!!!!!!

STATIONED In A Place Where I CAN Meditate...
And When I DO THIS Poetry Tool of... Pen And Page...

HELPS Me COOL My TEMPER Gauge...
NO Time For HATE Or Getting IRATE.

Because They LEAD To EVIL DEEDS... !!!
I'd RATHER Meditate Than MEET Their Fate... !!!!
Whether Writing On Race Or The Welfare State...

My Words Relate And Indicate...
How I Choose To....... " MEDITATE ".......
But If My Wordplay DEMONSTRATES...
ANGER When My Pen Meets Page... !!!!!

PLEASE OVERSTAND If I Start To RANT... !!!
Being BLACK... Has It's PROBLEMS... !!!!

So REMEMBER These Words...
The Name... " BIG VIRGE "...

But When ALL's Said And Done...
I'm Just A MAN Like Those Who Have A LESSER Tan ... !!!!

When I Meditate Now I'm CALMING Down...
It's Just My Way of RELEASING PAIN... !!!
And Learning How To... SMILE NOT Frown... !!!

It's ALL A Part of SHOWING Heart...
Before Things Start To Fall A P A R T... !!!!!!

I'm NOT That Smart...
But KNOW What Makes My ANGER PASS...................
Pen And Page Night Time Or DAY Are Times When I Now Meditate...
Poetry Eases MANY Pains That's My Thesis What Do You Say... ?
Does Poetry Make YOU Feel THIS WAY... ???

It Breeds CREATION...
I'd Rather Have THIS Than ANY Playstation... !!!

Synchronisation And Intonation...
Mixed With Patience And EXQUISITE Cadence...
is BOUND To TOUCH And FEED Sensations...

... Similar To THOSE...

We DEFINE As...

..................... " MEDITATION ".................
