Animal Kingdom, a poem

let me get this off my mind

matriarch taught me sweetheart

patriarch taught me braveheart

churchyard to graveyard

you can’t see me

I have no worries

I stay on high frequencies

I’m a Pisces

Psalms 109

I see how the words align

you asinine it’s wartime

by the way you talk to me I can tell you don’t know me

I told you I was an animal magickal

kingdom wisdom biblical

flesh eating mammal

I’m a feline, a queen + a canine, a bitch

watch how fast I switch

the switch isn’t a glitch

when I go dark

there is no restart

you’re dead to me but there is no grief

just relief

the sleeze sneezed

bless you achoo

I said I chew you up

cheers to my gut

here’s how I digest you

smaller pieces

I break you up

saliva

I wet you up

push you back

esophagus

stomach

no gasing me up

small intestine

digestion

I broke you down

to that brown

feces

my symbol a missile

this war is civil

you ain’t leaving the hospital

unleashed the demon in me

turned off my humanity

kinda like insanity

now I’m a threat to society

I used to hold you down gravity

completely loss my memory

you’re my no. 1 enemy

I attack you anxiety

I do it quietly but violently

slowly destroying your mentality

I guarantee

you’ll need more than therapy

it’s no rivalry I’m superiority

holy but I get ugly

cocky showing no mercy

I thought it was destiny

for you to be part of my legacy

you studied me

you copied me

I studied you

I saw the phony you

monkey see monkey do

this ain’t a game of horseshoe

over 21 and still don’t know how to do you

no personality

being a girl’s girl gets real tricky

I’ll slip you a mickey

and I ain’t talking mouse

I do this in your own house

watch you foam at the mouth

while I breakdown the compounds

using only pronouns

I you

after all we been through

no juju no voodoo

it’s just me and you boo boo

feces

on my way to grab a martini

with Jess in her blue Lamborghini

Birmingham

Stanley

and I ain’t talking cup

now you know what’s up

so backup before you don’t wake up

just another casualty

sliced by my verbal machete

say it with me

Tikisha always gets the victory

entertainment not flagrant
