Sabika Dec 2020
I close my eyes because
I want to sleep through the darkest nights
Of December,
Sink into the depths of my consciousness
Who doesn’t remember
The events of earlier today.

They’re trying to **** me.

Polluted my mind,
Body
And soul.
Left me to rot, freezing
In the bitter cold.

Poisoned me with pure
Lies and deception.
Almost made me believe there is
No solution.
Almost made me believe I
Have no power in this situation.
So yes,
I should cancel my endeavours?
And wait until the damages are reversed?
So yes,
I should stay inside and
Keep my head down
Staring into the
Darkest glowing light
And get ****** into an abyss and miss
On what it truly means to be free?

You almost made me believe it.

I close my eyes in hope of a reset.
I worry if my future will be plagued
By regret.

The soul of my civilisation is infested
With worms and centipedes from the root.
My generation have been bent, burned
And broken into submission.
My elderly in ambivalence die neglected
In isolation,
My needy bite their lip in frustration
Because yet again they have to get
Used to a new brand of corruption.

And we stay silent and lower our heads
And keep our tails between our legs
And say “yes do whatever you please”
And hope that finally they have
Our best interest?

Is this madness?

This is a form of sick, twisted art,
But when did this level of manipulation
Even start?

And there comes a point where
I have to ask myself:
In all this mess,
What is my part?
Why is the government not asking the people, the citizens how they can protect us? And why are we okay with them making decisions without them consulting us? They are spreading lies about everything from the origin of the virus. You want normality so bad you are prepared to sell your soul and still in the back of your mind you know you will get nothing in return. This is actually a world war 3 and the funny thing is that we don’t even realise it.

Now I Have Had It Said...
That I’m Pretty INTENSE... !!!

Which I Guess Is Because...
My Thinking Is STRONG... !!!

As Is My Poetry...
Because My Verse Deals...
In... HARSH REALITIES...
Rather Than Fallacies...
And Foolish FANTASIES... !!!!!!

So... My INTENSITY...
Is A Thing That Runs DEEP...
Just Like The Oceans' Seas... !!!

And Political Scenes That Are Seen Currently...
That Affect How It Is That People Now Live...

Now To Me They’re INTENSE...
Like Todays Regiments...
of... Leaders And Heads... !!!

Like Those Now In Congress...
Who Are Causing Folks STRESS...
Due To How They Address...
Todays Global Problems...
That Are INTENSE To Me...
When It Comes To Disease... !!!

Like This Corona Virus...
That’s Intense Like Gang Violence... !!!

That WAS Seen On The Streets...
BEFORE Lockdowns Were Seen... !!!

An INTENSITY That Runs...
Like Streets That Hold Guns...
When People Are STUCK...
Like A Nun Who Wants Some... !!!

If You Get What I Mean... ?!?

When It Comes To The Needs...
That Their Vows Do NOT Feed... !!!

Yes I Mean SEXUALLY... !!!

A Thing That’s INTENSE...
When You Want But CAN'T Get...
To Have... INTENSE ***...
That Makes Women Get Wet... !!!

But Intensity Runs...
WAY BEYOND ****** Stuff... !!!

Like... Trying To Bluff...
When You’re Really NOT Tough...
And Deep Down Want To RUN...
From... Confrontations...
That Could See Loss of Blood... !!!

Just Like Those Dark Times...
When Somebody Close Dies... !!!

Because Most Cannot Deal...
When Intensity Feels...
Like They Just Cannot Cope...
When Things Hit Those Dark Zones... !!!

Like... Societal Woes...
That Nowadays Roll...
That Feed INTENSE Times...
Like Those Now Supplied...
By These Corona Vibes... !!!

And Modern Day Crimes...
Like Those That DENY...
A Way To Live Life...
ABOVE Poverty Lines... !!!

And INTENSE Elections...
That Now Need Inspection...
Like Talk of Infections...
That Breed INTENSE TENSIONS... !!!

About … Wearing MASKS...
And Freedoms Now PARKED...
And DISTANCED Like Hearts...
That Are Now Kept A p a r t... !!!

Because of The Need...
To Be Given VACCINES... ?!?
That May Breed INTENSE Scenes... !!!

Because of... " Theories "...
That Are Now INTENSELY...
Spread On Internet Feeds... !!!

It Seems INTENSITY...
Is What Societies...
Are Feeding To People...
To Keep Many Feeble...
And Dealing In EVIL...
WITHOUT A KNIEVEL... !!!

The Ride’s Now INTENSE...
When It Comes To Defence...
Against Being JOBLESS... !!!
And STRESSING Out Friends... !!!

Because of The PRESSURES...
That Now Need To LESSEN...

So ALWAYS REMEMBER... !!!

That Pressures Suppress...
A Way To... Reject...
The Things That Cause Stress... !!!

As Well As The Way...
That Some People Behave...

And That SERIOUSNESS...
Is Just How Some DEFEND...
Against Letting Pretence...
And A World of NONSENSE...

Lead To Causing PROBLEMS...
That They CANNOT Deflect... !!!

And To KEEP AWAY... Punks...
Who Think They Can Pull Stunts...
After Running Their Mouths...
When They Act Like Sad Clowns... !!!

So Make SURE You’re CORRECT... !!!
BEFORE You... Suggest...

That The Way Someone Acts...
Is... REALLY...

..... “ INTENSE “.....
Inspired, as the poem says, by the suggestion that i'm an intense guy !
Big Virge Dec 2020
Well It Seems That These Days...
That FAKES And SNAKES...
Are ALL OVER THE PLACE... !?!

From Those With Names...
Now Claiming... FAME...

To Those Who Partake...
In The Political Frame...

Where What They DISPLAY...
Are Political Games...
That Are A DISGRACE...
And Have NO SHAME... !!!

In... Displaying Ways...
That Are INHUMANE... !!!

FAKING And TAKING...
In Ways That Be SHAKING...
People Til’ They’re QUAKING...

In MORE Than Their Boots... !!!

Now CORONA Has PUSHED...
Folks Into Their Rooms... !!!
ISOLATED And Confused...
By This Corona Flu... !!!

And Of Course The FAKE News...
That’s Now Claimed To Be TRUE... ?!?

I Need To CHECK That Line...
Cos’ That Doesn’t Seem Right...

Cos If The News Is FAKE... ?
It’s CLEARLY Run By SNAKES...
And The Types Who LIE...
EVERY DAY of Their Life... !!!

One Has To Wonder WHY... ?!?

Well These CORPORATE Guys...
Women AND Their Wives...
Are Now CLEARLY Displaying...
A Wish To Be MAKING...
Instead of Now Paying...
Money To Their PATRONS...
Or Those At Work Stations...

Because MOST Are Now VACANT... !!!
ESPECIALLY Those In Tourist Destinations...
That Have Now Been SHAKEN... !!!

Just Like A... Bond Bar Scene...
On RECURRING Rotation... !!!

Where He’s Dealing With SNAKES...
of The... HUMAN Shape...
Whilst HE’s Being FAKE... !?!

I Mean For HEAVENS SAKE... !?!

I Guess The *** STIRS...
When These Fakes CONFER... ?
To Leave The Masses HURT...
Because of Lies They Work...
To Feed Chicken Like ****... !!!

With The Type of Spice...
That Now HOTS Up Lives... !!!!!

Like The REALITY Rhymes...
I Now... Sit And Write...
That Define What’s TRUE...
NOT... Falsified Views... !!!!!

Now Filling Newsrooms...
And Of Course Bedrooms...
Where These Alphabet Crews...
Have DOCTORED The Truth...
For Their Partners... WHO...

CLEARLY Had NO CLUE...
Who They Were Making Love To... ?!?

Because These Shape Shifters...
Deceived Them Like GRIFTERS...

Or Snakes That SLITHER...
And Leave The Truth LITTERED... !!!

With POISONOUS VENOM... !!!
WITHOUT Yoko Or Lennon...
To Imagine Or See...
Through Their FALLACIES... !!!

It’s Now A TRAGEDY...
... Full of CALAMITIES... !!!

WITHOUT Doris Day... !!!
Cos’ Now... Humanity...
Has FAR TOO MANY...
Who Behave In Ways...

That SHAME And DISPLACE...
TRULY Being... HUMANE...

It REALLY Is A SHAME... !!!
To See People Behave...
Like They’ve Got NO BRAIN...
In This Modern Age...

of The... NEW AGE SLAVE... !!!
Which Is Why I Now RELATE...
This Last FACTUAL CLAIM... !!!

That You Should STAY AWAY...
From Most People These Days...

Because Nowadays...
It’s CLEARLY Fair To Say...

That Most Now Choose To Behave...
And Sway Like Those Named...

As.......

... “ FAKES And SNAKES “... !!!
They're out there folks, I suggest you beware !
Big Virge Dec 2020
So Now It Seems FAIR To Say...
That People These Days...

... REALLY DO AMAZE... !!!

From Their VIOLENT Displays...
To The Things That Some Say...
To How They Then Behave... !?!

Some Are Acting INSANE... ?!?
And Being... INHUMANE... !?!

As If ABEL Is The Name...
of Their Brothers Today... !?!

The Lines That They Now Toe...
DEMAND Masks Being Shown
... Wherever They Now Go... ?!?

Cos’ It’s A CRAZY Time...
To Now Be... ALIVE... !?!

... Corona Vibes...
And Protests Designed...
To I Guess... AMAZE...

By... Causing AFFRAYS...
ALL Over The Place... !!!

As Fires... BLAZE...
Throughout Nights And Days... !!!

Where What We Now See...
Is People Acting CRAZILY... !!!

Like CONFRONTING Police...
Across WORLDWIDE Streets... !?!

Because They WON’T Stay...
A Few Feet...... AWAY...... ?!?

To PROTECT The WELL BEING...
of... People They're Seeing... !?!

And Of Course Now RACE...
Has Caused A Level of SHAME...
For These WESTERN States...

Well Actually Countries...
NOW MAKING Apologies... !!!

For The.....
Way That They’ve Indulged...
In Using... SLAVERY...
Throughout Their Histories...

To Make Themselves Wealthy...
And Leave Blacks In Poverty...

UNLESS They Were Willing...
To... COMPLY With SINNING...
For Them To Be GRINNING...

While Slaves Received WHIPPINGS...... !?!?!

... I MEAN...
The Claims That Some Make...
REALLY DO... AMAZE... !!!

About The Things That They Produce...
That Are... BETTER Than Good... !!!

That … NEVER EVER Get...
To The Places That They Should...
Where Their AMAZING CLAIMS...
Can Actually Be PROVED... ?!?

People... ALSO AMAZE... !?!
With The Plans That They COOK...
When They’re Shook Like Crooks...
With... CORRUPTED Books...

Where Money Is Found...
That Surrounds DARK CLOUDS... !!!

Cos’ In The World Right NOW...
People REALLY Act... FOUL... !!!

Walking Round With SCOWLS...
Throwing... ***** TOWELS...
At These Government Clowns...
Who... AMAZE With HOW... ?!?

They’re Now Treating Crowds...
Who Are Shouting OUT LOUD... !!!

They’ve Just Called The FEDS’ Out... !?!
To Now CONTROL TOWNS...
With... THOSE Gun Sounds... !!!

And Are REJECTING Calls...
For Some HONEST Talk... !!!

Which DOESN’T Amaze...
Because HONEST Folk KNOW... !!!
They’ve Got Tongues Like FORKS... !!!

So What DOES AMAZE... !!!
Is The Talk That They Court...
About... What IS FAKE...
In The News These Days... ?!?

It’s A... CRYING SHAME... !!!
To Now See The Type of Games...
That Are... Being PLAYED...
That DON’T Make The Grade...
of Just Being... HUMANE... !!!!!

Which May Be A Phrase... ?
That’s Seen It’s LAST DAYS... !!!

Because of The RAGE... !!!
That’s Become A New CRAZE...

Or... HAS IT... ???
Because When We REVISIT...
What... The PAST EXHIBITS...

... IS...
White SUPREMACISTS...
Perpetrating... SINS...

That Were WORSE Than Those...
That Are NOW ON SHOW... !!!

And On THAT NOTE...
It’s Time For Me To GO...
And Bring This Piece To It's CLOSE...

Because What’s Been SHOWN...
Is The... Type of Show...
Where EXPLETIVES Should Roam... !!!

Ya Know It Really Is A Shame...
To See The World Today...
And How People Now Behave...

Like... Modern Day CAINS... !?!

Whose Displays These Days...
Are TRULY... INHUMANE... !!!

Because In ALL HONESTY...
I Feel COMPELLED To Say...

That.....

“They Really Do AMAZE”... !!!
People these days, in my honest view, REALLY now do...
Big Virge Dec 2020
Now I Be Putting In Work...
When It Comes To My Verse...

But UNLIKE THE CRIPS...
My Bullets Are WORDS... !!!

So Require NO HEARSE... !!!

Because They’re Well Observed...
To Leave A Fool... SERVED... !!!

Now I’m NO Violent Kid... !!!
But What I KNOW IS THIS... !!!
You’d BEST RESPECT Them Crips... !!!

SUCKERS KNOW WHAT IT IS... !!!

While My Gang Now Enlists...
NO MORE Than Twenty Six... !!!
REAL VERSATILE Members... !!!

That’s Right They Are LETTERS...
That YES... Wage Vendettas...

MORE VICIOUS Than... “ V “... !!!

So DISMISSES... Lizards...
And These... Politicians...
Who Choose NOT To Listen...
To THIS V’s... Poetry... ?!?

That RIGHT Cos' BIG VIRGE...
Puts In... SERIOUS Work... !!!

When It Comes To Composing...

Word Flows STRONG Like OCEANS...
That Create ... HIGH SEAS... !!!

Where... Sea GIANTS Be... !!!
I’m A Black Shark That Wails...
With Rhyme Verse ... SONIC SEE... !!!

NO HEDGEHOG...
Just... DEEP LOGS...
of... Vocally FREE...

Opinions That Reach...
Levels... WAY BEYOND Treble...
When They're Heard SONICALLY... !!!

DON’T You See I LINK Themes... ?!?!
Through Connections Investing...
In Knowledge That Feeds...
OFF of... Natural Vibes...
So Are NOT Things Contrived...
Like... New World Policies... !!!

I Mean Really . . . . . . SIX FEET . . . . . . ?!?

It’s A SHAME That Police...
Stand TOO CLOSE To My Peeps...
And CONTINUE To FEED...
Off of BLACK TRAGEDIES... !!!

I’m A DANGEROUS Breed... !!!
Whose Freedom of Speech...
DOESN’T Work Qualities...
Where My Work Can Receive...

PRAISE For It's REALNESS...
And YES... HONESTY... !!!

So... STAND Next To The V...
Are You Folks Kidding Me... ?!?

When My Mind Runs So FREE...
That My EGO Can Seem...
To Be... BEYOND BELIEF... ?!?

Cos' My Works DISRESPECTED...
By Those In... "COLLECTIVES"... !!!
Who... CLAIM To BELIEVE...
In The BEST Artistry... !?!
Being What They Should Feed...
To The Masses Who Need...
To Receive What's REAL... !?!

When Their Creative Themes...
STINK Like Faeces of FLEES... !!!
NO... CORONA Disease...
Just WEAK Artistry... !!!

So My Work DOES NOT Serve...
To Support Industries... !!!
Or These Government Chiefs...
Whose Work Has CLEARLY...
Brought People Who LEAD...
... To **** HUMANITY... !?!

Because of DENIAL...
of Humans Living... FREELY... ?!?

Folks They...
... NEED To STAND TRIAL...

Cos Their Work Now Feeds...
... Modern SLAVERY... !!!
And New TECHNOLOGY...

That Moves SO QUICKLY...
That It’s Now HARD To See...
A Future Where Humans...
Aren’t Replaced By Machines... !!!

But One Thing They WON'T Do...
Is Do Work Like... BIG V...
And Write DEEP Poetry...
That Has A... HUMAN FEEL... !!!

And Wordplay That's COOL...
And Smooth Like A Groove...
FILLED With PURE ARTISTRY... !!!

That Does NOT Require...
Any Robots Or Wires...
Or... Internet Feeds... !!!

Just Wordplay That FIRES....
BULLETS Like Those CRIPS... !!!
That DISTURB Peoples NERVES... !!!

But... NOT Like My Fellas...
My Lettered Gang Members...

Who FOLLOW BIG VIRGE... !!!

So Be....

.... “ Putting In Work ! “....
I really do be !

****** dropped bombs on him
It was nothing personal
There was just a war on
He came under the heading of enemy
Blew the ****** front door in
His mum got shot at by a Messerschmitt
In the middle of the street
So he had to do the shopping after
Its dangerous out there send the kid

Served his country in the Royal Fusiliers
Made it to sergeant teaching squaddies
How to read and do their sums
Posted to Germany as army of occupation
Did his bit as the saying goes
Then back on civvy street worked in the city
Steam train took him every day
From the market town where I was born
To smoke and smog and daily grind

Now I am teaching him the iPhone 6
At eighty seven he’s doing great
From a socially acceptable distance
Of course so we can keep in touch
Face to face and he won’t miss us
Now by himself rattling around
The big old house where I grew up
How times have changed
Still he should be used to queuing up
A poem about my dad during these strange times.
Autumn Coleman Dec 2020
OK
You say that you're that you're going through a lot right now
That's why you forget about me for weeks on end
Months

You know what I wanted for my birthday this year
For you to REMEMBER me long enough to say
Happy Birthday Ma
The four years we've been with each other you never
REMEMBER me

Out of being "supportive" of you and the
"**** that you're going through"
I kept quiet about the **** that I'm going through
Fed up I tell you

Sister, nephew, and now aunt testing positive
Missing brother for months, now on live
Cutting himself
ME hurting away from my family unable to be with them

"OK "
That's all I got from you
Hurt is what I get
And so
The end of us is what we get from each other
Rachael Dec 2020
the world is on fire,
but i am at peace.
the situation's dire,
and this year was so bleak.
who knows what twenty one
will have in store?
will this virus be done?
will we go to war?
whatever awaits,
i'll be so okay,
passively accept fate
'cause i am unphased
by trudging though days
that are just as grey
as those filled with rage,
as those filled with pain,
that always lit my way.
Mirza Lazim Dec 2020
Whirling... Keep it solid there. It is still whirling...
"Often" turned into "sometimes", "sometimes" into "seldom".
Never needed a drug or something else
I can even be drunk on my boredom.

All were devastated just in a blink
within my last existential crisis,
left behind the previous insouciant life
carrying along my painful inner screams.

The last thing I felt was a sudden crack
the one you never definitely cared about
and I pierced you back into the waters
like a tiny golden fish slipping out

You are always welcome, dear,
left for you a door ajar
It has been so long since I visited you
and heartily greeted your elegant car...

Put my faith in the wavy waters
believing someday you will fly through,
the Sun will dazzle my misted eyes
and the sky will turn to blue...

Fly sometimes...
Fly somewhere...
Fly in the end...
