Asian Crop, 2020
madlib medicine show
lord quas quasimoto
they beat conduct ya ass
take ya from africa through the middle pass
then asia indenture and jungle animal mineral advertising ventures
encaged disengaged pressure turn to rage when i turn the page
paying homage to sacred knowledge you turned to porridge
half baked run come return the jewels for blood sake
can you dive into a tiger’s eyes
seep under and behind its stripes
see freedom and captivity
visit ritual circles of fragility
Tiger’s Eyes, 2020
from zeros to sworn heroes
you so rousseau you so faux
we suppose your egos
don’t believe those
holding open doors that will soon close
bullets and spears to ease your fears
far east safaris i’m near tears
it’s a tiger crisis
we need to talk about isis and osiris
and what about this virus
angels and tigers pause
dangers and fighters of racist laws
stated domesticated premeditated
self medicated self hatred
moral monsters and self made mortals
on a path to head on collision
in ultra high definition tiger vision
watching tiger belly
through the retina telly
does dignity have an identity
