"What Cause is it that they, REALLY Stand For ?" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 10/11/2013

So What Cause Is It ... ?
That They REALLY Stand For ... ?

Because Nowadays I'm Getting IRATE ... !!!
Due To FANCY Talk From Those NOT POOR ... ?!?

About ... " How they help, and can't do more ! " ...

Or Is That ... WON'T ... ?!?

When They Come From WEALTH And Ignorant Hoards ... !!!

Families FILLED With SEPARATIST Wills ...
Talking of ... " WILLS " ... !!!

What's Left For Them Monetary Problems ... ???

Or A Cause Instilled To Change Their Ilk ...
From ... LUSTING For Bills ...

Yen Or ... Pounds ... ?!?
How Does That Sound ... ?
If You're ... " One of Them " ... !?!

Does Your Cause Stem From A Wish To END ...

... " ELITE IGNORANCE " ... !?!?!

The Type That Defends ...
White Men Who ... PRETEND ...
To Give A Damn ... About Black Man ...

When The Truth Is ... THIS ... !!!
Their Talk Is WEAK Cos' They're Human Sheep ... !!!

Who THINK Their Skin Gives Them The Right ...
To Say What They Like About Things In Sight ...

As If Black Minds Are Completely Blind ... !?!
To The Cause of Things When Pressure Liks' ... !!!!!!!!

Like It Is ... NOW ... !!!!!

Now That Things Are FOUL ...
They're CRYING OUT For ... " THINGS TO CHANGE ! " ...

Well Okay That's GREAT ... !!!!!

But ... " Back in the day " ...
When ... " Momma Had Slaves ! "

... ALL OVER THE PLACE ... !!!!!

Were They CRYING Back Then ... ???
For Slaves .... BETTERMENT .... !?!

And Educating Them About ... " RACISM " ... ?!?

And EXPOSING THE TRUTH About ... " Daddy's Boardroom " ... ?!?

I'm A Bit Confused As To The Cause ...
They Seemed To Ignore That They Now IMPLORE ...
As If It's NEW ... And Should Be USED ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Hear REVOLUTION Coming From White Lips ...
Oh So THAT'S A SOLUTION ... Well I've Got To Ask THIS ... !?!

When The Ku Klux Klan Were HANGING Black Man ... !!!
Were They And Their Fam' Taking THAT STAND ... !!!?!!!

... "Oh, that was the past !" ...

.... "Man, kiss my arse !" ....

Ignorance Was ... " BLISS " ... !!!

Until The Pinch FLIPPED And HIT New Skins ... !!!
Financial TRICKS ... NEW AGE Racists ... !!!

Politics In The Mix of CORRUPTING Things ... !!!
Isn't This How It's ... ALWAYS Been ... ?!?!?

... "Well, that was then, this is now !" ...

Are The Usual Sounds That Come From Mouths ...
Who Act Like CLOWNS But Are QUICK To DROWN ... !!!

The Sounds of Thoughts ...
Coming From Black Minds As If We're Inclined ...
To Run WEAK TALK That Is BIASED Fa' Sure ... !!!!
When It Seems Our Cause It's Just TALK THAT HAUNTS ... !!!!!

See They've ALWAYS Got An Answer As If They Are .... " SMARTER " .... !!!!!!!

Than Blacks Who Take Time To ... DISSECT Their Lives ...

And ALL Their ... " CHARTERS " ...
That Have Made Life HARDER EVEN Under OBAMA ... !!?!!

HYPOCRITICAL Types Who THINK They're Cool ...
Cos' They Know Black Folks Who Enjoy Their ... " Jokes " ... ?!?

Well I AIN'T THAT BLOKE ... !!!!!
And DON'T Deal In Quotes That Hold NO WEIGHT ... !!!!!
Which Is Why They're AFRAID of The Things I RELATE In My Wordplay ... !!!

I'm SICK of Them HEARING But NOT LISTENING ... !!!
Because They're Adhering To ... "LIMITED Thinking" ...

LIMITED By Historical Ties They'd Rather DENY ... !!!

As Being The Cause For Veteran Wars ...
And Humanity's FALL ... " It's NEVER Their Fault ! " ...

It Was Actually ... " The FORCE " ... !?!

.... "Oh it was down to Star Wars, wait a minute now, pause !" ....

Man I've Got To Laugh Otherwise I'll FROWN ... !!!
And Decide To TAKE DOWN ...

Them And Their Crowd of ..... " KNOW IT ALLS " ..... !!!!!
Who CHOOSE TO HEAR What Suits Their Ears ... !!!!

They ... REALLY DO ... !!!!!

And Then Run Talk When The Penny DROPS ... !!!
As If They KNEW What Was Said BEFORE ... !!!
In Talks That ROCKED ... Their Lil' Cotton Socks ... !!!

... "At the time I was wrong, and just being headstrong !" ...

Well CLEARLY NOT When They Come Back ... !?!

NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT That ...
They Bought Into ... FALLACY FILLED Views ...
They've Read In Books Or Been Fed By The News ...

It's CLEAR TO ME We Blacks Should Speak ... !!!
But NOT ABOUT THEM Or The Cause They DEFEND ... ?!?

When They Help The Poor ...
By Doing Stuff That's A SHORT TERM Fix ... !!!
So Their GUILT Can DESIST ... !!!

Well Me And My CHIP Now Write These Scripts ... !!!

That Prove My Cause Is NOT About ME ... !!!
But EQUALITY ... For EVERYBODY ... !!!!!!!

Even If I'm Seen As The ... " Villain of The Piece " ... !!!!

Because It's CLEAR ... !!!
I Really Do STAND TALL ... !!!
And DON'T MAKE DUD Calls ... !!!

Like Those Whose Actions BETRAY Thoughts ...
That Seem DISTRACTED ... From This Question Fa' SURE ... !!!!

" What Cause is it that they, REALLY Stand For ... ?!? "
