Ode To The Black Panther

Beneath the earth surface 
In a blank page of a tattered diary 
the history was scripted with blue ink 
buried with gravel to prevent kitty, puppy and Anabelle not to disperse it. 

Once upon a time In the blue moon 
there live a young black panther
In midst of wolves and coyotes.

Like a palm frond 
whirling wind keep twirling his feet
as life becomes too hard in an ocean of shark 

He was bred to see the beauty of skylines 
While wondering where his ancestor goes
whenever Mr Grim reaper rips off their darling souls.

 His mentation couldn't extinguish the flame 
Of the rhetorical question
 burning up his thinking ability 
he  utilized short-time smiles 
to ease up his thought-filled mind.

Day becomes night friend
as dusk keep getting engaged with Dawn .

He crawls out of his crusty shell 
to take the account of his forefathers myth 
His trepid treble voice growls like a wild dog 
and his peggy fangs become a sword .

He trailed his shadows footsteps
to the land where histories were enclosed
 in a lifetime trance 
and like a sorcerer, he embark on a quest 
to unveil the spell casted on his race
from the January's generations.

He climbed up the shapeless plain hill
Of life with a firm determination to reach the crest
He wield his Excalibur to cut off disdain and afflictions 
he held onto his father's word as a mantra
to rise up his droopy feelings ;

"Boy Live to fight the odds 
Odds live to frighten the Boy 
Boy fight, boy conquer the odds
Odds conquer boy when he stops fighting"

Countless strokes of rain downpour on him 
as sickness paid him homage in troops 
Still like a morning sun, 
He rise up to face the frowning world 
with two goals lying on his heroic heart
To win and To rewrite history

He Is The Black Panther!

Dedicated to Yahya Gimba (The black panther)
