"Difference" ... A Poem written by Big Virge on the 18/3/2007

So ....... 
Do the things people say ... ? 
Really make ... ANY ... Difference ? 
  
When ... At the end of the day ... 
Most display ..... "Indifference" ...... 
  
"Indifference" ... towards ... 
Promoting a .... "Cause" .... 
  
like .... Reducing Wars 
and .... Corporate Fraud 
  
to ensure that ... THE POOR 
suffer ... LESS than MORE ... !!!!! 
  
See ...... 
"apathy" ....... REIGNS 
in ... Many Brains ... !!!!!! 
  
Just like Cocaine .... 
"INFLAMES ... MEMBRANES !!!" 
  
  
Nowadays the game's 
become a ... "Strain' ... 
  
which I guess ... is why ... ? 
Indifference .... Flies .... !!!!!!! 
like chemical highs .... 
that now .... supply .... 
  
Submissive ... and ... 
Illicit ... minds ... 
  
Indifference ... in them's ... 
causing ... Problems ... !!!!!!! 
  
Check the ... News at Ten 
and you'll see the ... Effects ... 
  
Bullets to heads ... !!!!! 
Stab wounds to ... "Chests" ... !!!!! 
  
Parents ... UPSET ... !!!!! 
because their children ... 
face ... Tough Tests ... 
  
"Radical" ... men 
Inciting ... trends 
that lead to ... VIOLENCE 
and ....... " DEATH " ....... !!!!! 
  
and ... let's not forget ... 
our ... Government Friends !!!!! 
  
What THEY ... Submit to ... 
clearly ... FUELS ... !!! 
"DIVISIVE" ... Crews ... 
to make ... "Different Moves" 
  
that DO ... make a ... "Difference" 
to ME ..... and ...... YOU ...... !!!!!!!!!!! 
  
Feuds that lead to ..... 
  
RACIST VIEWS ... !!!!!! 
  
Political coups ... 
bred to ... "Confuse" ... ???!?!? 
  
Issues used ... like .... 
"LOoNeY Tunes !!!" .... 
  
WITHOUT ... The Jokes ... !!! 
  
when what they do ... 
leave people ... "Broke" ... !!! 
Blackened ... and ... Blue 
and ... Drained of ... Hope ... !!! 
  
Let those words ... "SOAK" ... !!! 
into ... " Your Pores " ... 
like ... "Suds of Soap" ... 
  
"Indifference" ..... strokes ..... 
like ... "Ropes Do ... Dopes" 
  
of ... Ignorant Hoards ... 
whose thoughts are ... 
...... " Flawed " ...... !!!!! 
  
See ... that's a .... 
Big Virge ... quote ... 
Built to ..... CHOKE ..... 
.... "Weak Throats" .... !!!!! 
  
Ali ...... AWOKE ....... !!!!! 
while Joe just ... SMOKED ... !!! 
  
FRAZIER ... for those ... 
to young to ... know ... !!! 
  
See ... figures like ... THESE ... 
from ..... History ..... 
made a ... Difference ... to ... ME 
  
because of how they ... 
made me ... FEEL ... !!!!!! 
  
which I guess is ... why ... ? 
  
My ..... Poetry ...... 
  
"Floats like Butterflies 
and Stings like Bees !!!" 
  
but ... 
who do ... The Youth ... 
look up to .... NOW .... !!!???!!! 
  
Sporting thugs ... 
who now ... take drugs ... 
or ..... Rappers who .... 
Put up a .... " FRONT " .... 
about ..... The Guns ..... 
They Shoot for ..... FUN ..... ??? 
  
Since when was ... THAT ... ? 
Defined as .... " Fun " .... !!!?!!! 
  
Shooting a ... Gun ... 
to see ... blood run ... 
from ... Another Human ... ??!?? 
  
Well ........ 
  
Here's my ... STANCE ... !!!!!! 
  
Some rappers .... TRULY .... 
should be .... " HUNG " .... !!!!! 
then .... Unduly .... Burnt .... 
with ... Their Guns ... 
  
....." WELL DONE "..... !!!!!! 
  
because their words ..... 
DO affect ... young herds ... !!!!! 
and do make a ... "Difference" 
to ... "Younger Ones" ... !!!!!! 
  
Young attitudes .... 
provide ... CLEAR PROOF ... 
that ... Raps ... consumed ... 
Do affect ... some youth ... !!! 
  
Some think it's ... Cool ... ? 
to now be ... Rude ... !?! 
and ... FEAR ... is used ... 
just like a .... " Tool " 
to ... Threaten and Abuse 
like ... "Government's do ... !!!!! 
  
Do you ... Get the ... Link ... ? 
Take a minute and ................... 
  
............ Think ......................... 
  
Gangsters come .... 
in ... MANY FORMS .... 
  
Those in ... Suits ... 
may not ... Perform ... 
  
but ........ 
  
When you think about rappers 
and .... Government Heads ... ??? 
  
Ask your self this ... ? 
Are they ... THAT ... Different ?!? 
  
I'll let you ... decide ... 
while I use ... My Rhymes ... 
to be ... your guide ... 
to a place where minds ... 
become ... " More Wise ... " 
  
See ... they'll ... 
  
"Sell their souls !!!" 
  
for a ... LARGE ... Bank Roll 
  
Do you REALLY ... Believe ... !?! 
everything that they say ... ????? 
  
it's ... Pretty Clear ... Nowadays 
that Governments ... THIEVE ... 
and rappers ... DECEIVE ... 
just to ...... " Get PAID !!!!! " 
  
What happened to ..... ? 
The ... "Good Old Days !?!" 
  
when ... "Emcee's Ruled" ... !!! 
and .... made their name ... 
WITHOUT ... False Claims ... 
to earn their ... wage ... !!!!!!!! 
  
It's all a game ..... 
of ... "Different" ... strains 
  
Indifference claims ..... 
So Much ..... today ..... !!!!! 
  
that ...... I'm Afraid ...... 
it's now ..... TOO LATE ..... !!! 
to ..... " Re-arrange " ..... 
and ..... make a ..... " Change " ... !!!!! 
  
See ........ 
  
Girls are now .... Indifferent .... 
to ... advances from ... "MEN" ... 
which ... pretty much ... Ends 
any chance of .... Sex ..... 
  
or ..... Better Still ...... 
  
.......... " LOVE " .......... 
  
KISSES .... and .... HUGS 
  
While men now ..... Sense ..... 
that girls are ..... "Tense" ...... 
  
So now .... they too .... 
are .... " Indifferent " .... 
to .... trying to .... " Woooooo " 
  
Most now ... want sex ... 
Without the ... " STRESS !!!!! " ... 
of women who ..... use ...... 
  
"Periodical Moods ... !!!!" 
  
as their .... excuse .... 
to .... Hurl .... ABUSE .... !!!!! 
  
See ... these are things ... 
Indifference ... brings ... 
  
Our differences ..... 
are .... "UNiQUE GIFTS" .... !!!!!!!! 
  
NOT .... Presents that .... 
We should ........... Reject ..... !!! 
  
It's time I .... "Sense" .... 
to ... "CONNECT" ... Much MORE ... !!!!!! 
and ... Se-p-a--ra---te .... LESS .... !!!!!! 
  
So Many .... Divorce .... 
from .... Life's Problems .... 
That ... when they come ... 
they get struck ... "numb" ... 
  
Life's now ... NOT FUN ... 
because we've ... RUN ... 
  
From ........... 
  
Making sense of ... 
NONSENSE Fed ... 
by ... "Governments" 
who feed us ... STRESS ... 
to reduce ... Our Attempts 
to ... STAND ... AGAINST ... !!! 
  
Their .... " Dud Concepts " .... !!!!!! 
  
Please folks .... PLEASE .... !!!!! 
  
Heed the words ..... 
that I have .... said .... 
  
  
........ Annnnddd ......... 
  
I merely .... Suggest .... 
  
that you .... TRY ... 
.... Your BEST .... 
  
........ YES ....... !!!!! 
  
to make ....... 
  
A ...... Difference .......
