THE BLACK PANTHER AND THE EYES ~BY JOEL KABUYA KUMUAMBA

THE BLACK PANTHER AND THE EYES

The Black Panther, a beautiful black,
Defines black history with majestic track.
Your eyes may seem scary, but your heart is happy,
Without you, the wild would be a Disney land, quite snappy.

Everywhere you step, your feet claim the land,
Beautiful Panther, a wonder to expand.
Sometimes we think the jaguar is your brother,
Your pace and eyes bring terror, like a mirror to discover.

Your feet create a path, a reflection to see,
The Black Panther makes Wakanda unique, a discovery to be.
If you knew how much black people appreciate you,
If you knew how much black people are scared of you.

This controversy makes you a unique wild animal,
Wakanda loves you distantly, but fears you mentally.
Will you love black humans instantly?
Will you eat me instantly?

Beautiful Panther, beautiful Panther, just like 2Pac’s mother.
