Eyes sparkle,

sleek satin ebony fur coat,

lips licking hungry for the feast,

stealthily moving

across a bed of leaves,

the beast moves with silent deadly ease,

creeping up on it’s prey

hunger makes it brutal in so many ways,

it’s a cold blooded killer

but only kills for food,

it’s the noble regal black panther

and if you’re in its neighborhood,

then you better beware,

it’s hiding in the shadows,

in ebony with sparkling eyes

it will come out of those shadows,

and greet you with surprise

and that’s the end of your life,

brutal as it is, this is why it exists.
