"A Fine Line" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 21/7/2006

Folks It Is A ... " Fine Line " ... !!!
That CLEARLY DEFINES ...
The Road That I Walk With Words That I Rhyme ...
Cos' Words That I Talk May See Me In Court ... !!!
WITHOUT Sean Or ... " Just Cause " ... !!!
Because of YES THEM Those In Governments ...
And Those Who They Send To Enforce POOR Judgements ... !!!!!
But Of Course They'll Contend That My Wordplay ... OFFENDS ...
And May Well STIR UP TROUBLE And Cause VIOLENCE ... !?!
But It's Okay For THEM To Say What They Like ... !???!
And Declare Their War Fights As Forms of Defence ...
When Plans They Design Keep Causing PROBLEMS ... !!?!!
Well It Doesn't Seem Like Their Actions Are Right ... !?!
When Every News Night The Things In Our Sight ...
KEEP Showing Us VISIONS of People Who ... DIE ... !!!!!
Now That's A Fine Line I Have Re-Designed ...
From Princes' Great Song The ... " Sign 'o' The Times " ... !!!
So Don't Get Me Wrong My Lines Are Refined ...
And Clearly BELONG Where Fine Lines RECLINE ... !!!
Each Line That I Write Proves My Mind Is Inclined ...
To Write About Crimes Affecting Our lives ....
And It Is A Fine Line That Helps Me To FIND ...
A Way To Express My Anger And Stress ...
About How We TRY To Do What Is RIGHT ... !!!!
But What Does This Mean In A World So UNCLEAN ... !!!!!
What Do We Stand For When Going To ... WAR ... !?!
We Should Take A .................................. Pause ..............
And THINK of Our Cause ...
Is Making Blood POUR What We're Really Here For ... ?!!!?
If You're Thinking YES Are You .... REALLY SURE .... ???
How Would You Feel If The Blood Poured Was ... YOURS ... !!!
Or Someone YOU LOVED And REALLY ... CARED FOR ... !!!!!!
Well As These Lines State ...
It Is A Thin Line Between YES.... " Love and Hate " ....
But Hating For REAL WON'T Help Us Relate ... !!!
These Days It's Quite CLEAR The Dangers of FEAR ... !!!!!
But That's Nothing New The Past's Given Clues ...
of How IGNORANCE Fuels Individuals To USE ...
Torture And Abuse Through Crews Filled With FOOLS ...
Who THINK ... Hatred IS COOL ... !!!!?!!!!
Well Hatred Profiled Does NOT Lead To Smiles ...
It Leads To A Place That's NOT Quite So Great ...
And Leads Us Through Leaders Who Like To DICTATE ....
Like Those Around NOW Who Want To CLAMP DOWN ...
On People Like Me Whose Wordplay's So Neat ...
That Our Poetry Gives Policemen A Beat ...
That Makes Them ... RETREAT ... !!!!!
See What I Mean My Poetry Seams Are Suitably Clean ...
And Walk A Fine Line of Quality Rhymes That BYPASS Extremes ... !!!
Because They're Inclined To UNIFY Minds ....
See That's How I'd Like My Wordplay DEFINED ... !!!
Speaking Your Mind Should NOT BE A Crime ... !!!
UNLESS What You Say Divides And Spreads HATE ... !!!
I'd Rather Spread LOVE Through Kisses And Hugs ... !!!
While Most Now Indulge In Acting Like THUGS ...
And Taking HARD DRUGS When They've Had Quite ENOUGH ... !!!!!
People Like THESE Make Me Want To CUSS ... !!!!!!!
But These Days I'm TRYING To Rise uP ABOVE These Wannabee Thugs ... !!!
Who Spread Talk of Dying Cos' Their Words NEED ... " REFINING " ... !!!!!!
Things You Put Out Come Back Son DON'T DOUBT ... !!!!!
Now That's A FINE LINE That's Got LOTS of CLOUT ... !!!
So Think CAREFULLY BEFORE Running Your Mouth ... !!!!!
Fine Lines That I Write of Upsetting Designs ...
Are NOT To Start Fights So REMEMBER That Line ... !!!
They May Cause Offence And May Cause Arguments ...
But USE COMMON SENSE And REJECT ... VIOLENCE ... !!!
Keep A Cool Head Like Des Dekker Said ... !!!!!
Then Pick Up A PEN Rather Than Make Attempts ...
To Bring Me DISTRESS Cos' You Want To SUPPRESS
A View I've Expressed That's Left You ... UPSET ... !!!!!
THAT Message Is SENT To Those ... JEALOUS Gents ...
Who Think They're The BEST At Writing Fine Lines With Words That They Rhyme ... !!!
Well CLEARLY They're BLIND And OUT of Their Mind ... !!!!!!
To Think That Their Rhymes Are ... BETTER Than MINE ... ?!?
Those Causing Us STRESS Are Those In GOVERNMENTS ... !!!
They PLAN To DIVIDE NOT See Us ... " UNITE " ... !!!!!
THINK About That Before Starting FIGHTS ... !!!!!
Black On Black Crime Has Been LONG DESIGNED ............................
Don't You Think It's Time ... ?!?
We Start To Fight THEM And Their BOGUS Systems ... !!!
That's Where I Will END This Simple Poem ...
Cos' Words In Those Lines May Cause Me PROBLEMS ... !!!!!
Even Though Their JUST Rhymes
That Flow And DEFINE How The Words I Transcribe ...

REALLY WALK ...

............... " A Fine Line " ............
