Panther (by G.O.D.F.A.T.H.A.)

[Escobar]

I'm a panther thats charcoal black and proud/

so be careful when you cross my path/

For I am calm but fierce/

Passerby's are intrigued by my immense beauty and strength/

but I'm not dumb stricken by the twinkle in their eyes/

I know they wish to capture me/

so they can tame me collectively/

for my natural strength is threatening/

In my presence they can't help but fearing/

For when angered they know I can easily snap off their necks/

For I am a panther after all/

charcoal black and proud/

They steal the thoughts of the little ones/

and bottle-feed them addictive substances/

"More nourishing than what they get fed in the wild", they say/

So they teach the little ones to hate their nature and everything that they are/

Now dear ones long to be tamed, "civilized", some say/

But these thieves forget: the ancestors blood runs in the young cubs' veins/

they long to be wild and free/

and as long as their instincts are supressed they'll remain torn in between/

the "natural" and the "civilized"/

But I'm not defeated/

more will be born/

charcoal black panthers/

wild and free/

calm but fierce/

Beware of them/

Yes, you've tamed some of the offspring/

but they are not far gone/

and here is something for your sleepless nights/

"the mother's are the source"/

I am a panther/

charcoal black/

wild and free/

Calm but fierce/

and above all/

this panther teaches the young ones how to stand tall/
