“Mistaken Identity” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 11/2/2014

Ya Know I Read Today On A News Webpage …
That Samuel Jack Was Mistaken For Laurence Fishburne' MAN … ?!!!?

Well It Seems As Though This White Media Bloke …
Thinks Samuels’ Role In Django … HOLDS …

... TRUE Fa’ REAL … ?!!!?

It’s Really NOT A Big Deal Cos’ As Sam Explained …

“ All of us blacks, still look the same !”

Well This Would Seem To Be The Case … ?
For IGNORANT BRAINS With RACIST VEINS … !!?!!

That’s NOT A CLAIM I’m Merely Saying … !!!
Racism STILL RUNS Or Am I MISTAKEN … ?!?!?

When What’s IDENTIFIED Is A Lack of RESPECT …
From Those GENTRIFIED SUITED LOVELY White Men … !!!

Whose Identity’s ... "Hidden” …
Kind of Like Robin Givens … !!!!!!

Mike Tyson KNOWS When Covers Get BLOWN … !!!
That MISTAKES Can Lead To Prison Scenes … !!!!!!

Where Mistaken Identities …
Can Be Left In Penitentiaries … !!!!!!!!

Well Maybe They DO And Maybe They … DON’T … ?
I Don’ t Have A Clue And Don’t Hold Much Hope …
That Blacks HELD In Cells Are ALL Criminals …

Identities In Court Are NOT All Born From TRUTHFUL Tales …
That Would Seem CLEAR From That Flick ... " Primal Fear “ … !!!

Some Set Sail After Being PREPPED By Those Adept …
At MISLEADING And Then PLEADING To Juries Seeing A DIFFERENT Being …

To The One In The Dock Who’ll LIE Like A Dog ...
To Convince And Deceive Like A Grifting Thief … !!!!!

Trust Me BELIEVE EVERY Skin' Teet’ Does NOT Breed … " Smiles “ … !!!
More Like Mistrials When What’s Profiled Allows Cons’ To ROAM WILD …................. !!!

But Let Me Change The Style of These Words I Now File …

Mistaken Identities Are MANY And … PLENTY … !!!!!
But Soon Become CLEAR When Things They Hear …
Affect Their Ears To The Point Where THEY FEAR … !!!

... Their OWN VENEER …. !!!!!

Like Those QUICK To CLAIM … !!!

... “ They Don’t Discriminate !!! ” ...

Which Is A MISTAKE If Talk About Race …
OFFENDS Their Brains To The Point Where They Have To Run Away ...

From Colour Lines That They CLAIM To STAND BY …
But Are QUICK To …............ BRUSH ASIDE ..............… ?!?!?

These Days ONLINE And In REAL LIFE …

It’s HARD To Find People Inclined To Speak Their Mind … !!!
Who Deal In STRAIGHT TRUTH … !!!
TOO MANY ABUSE The BASIC RULES … !!!!!

If You’re Gonna HOLD BACK It’s CLEAR You Lack … !!!
What It Takes To Be REAL ... See There Are NO DEALS … !!!!!

When It Comes To TRUE Expression ... !!!!!!
You Must STILL NEED SCHOOL If You’ve NOT Been Taught THAT LESSON … !!!!!
of Speaking From YOUR HEART From The End Back To The START … !!!!!

It’s CLEAR These Days That ….. “ Women “ …..
Well ACTUALLY They’re … “ GIRLS “… !!!!!

IDENTIFY Their Worlds With TRUTHFUL OPEN Ways … !!!
When The Truth Is What They Closet Are More Secrets Than Gays … !!!!!
Identities MISTAKEN ... Mostly When They Lay … !!!!!

So Fellas Get To Listening Cos’ These Words HERE Are STRAIGHT …. !!!!!!

A Lot of Girls Be Swimming In Lakes Filled With MISTAKEN …
IDENTITIES … WELL Hidden From End Right To BEGINNING … !!!!!

So Fellas DON’T BE … “ Winking “ … !!!
Unless You’re Down To PLAY The Game I’ll Name As ……………………..

" Who Is It You THINK You REALLY ARE ... ?!? “

Because The Game Is Getting ... HARD … !!!!!

NOT THAT WAY ... CLEAN Up Your Brain … !!!!!
The Way Girls Behave Just Makes Me LAUGH … !!!!!

So Here’s The Deal … !!!
I’m Seeing NOW That What SURROUNDS …

Does JUST THAT ......... NOTHING MORE …. !!!!!!!
What’s At THE CORE of Human Scores …
Is MUCH MUCH MORE Than What’s ON SHOW … !!!!!

DON'T Believe YOU KNOW How People ROLL … !!!!!!
MISTAKEN Roads ... IDENTIFY Holes …
In What Resides … Inside SLY Minds …. !!!

They’ll TRY … They’ll TRY … !!!
To Say … “ It ain’t so !!! “ …

They Will DENY Til’ The Cows Say … NO … ?!?
That’s Just A JOKE Before One Last Quote ...

These People Are A PLENTY … !!!
So Keep Your Vibe ROCK STEADY … !!!!!

When Drinking With These … “ Entities “ …
Who CLAIM TO BE … “ Allegedly “ ... ???

Those Who Live RESPECTFULLY ...
Because They Have This … “ Tendency “ …

To Hide Behind Their Own FAKE GUISE … !!?!!

DISCREPANCIES ....... And ……….

...... “ Mistaken Identity “ ......
