The Tiger By William Blake…

tiger wuss

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water’d heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

    Cheating on a white women, with a white women, domestic violence, crashing Cadillacs, Tiger’s letting his Black side show these days. All he needs now is a pack of Newports & an affinity for Grape soda.

    lovely ode to a man who fought being black his whole life who is about to feel what’s it’s like to be looked at like a common negro…
