Black Panther

By Cameron Foster

He was an icon 

For black children here and there 

Some remember the actor 

Most remembers the suit he wears 

To some, he was Jackie 

But the most he was the king 

The suit and the mantle 

So much change he would bring 

He was strong. He was fast. 

He was ready when danger would ring

He was beloved by all 

No one knew that so soon his last curtain would be called 

Fighting bad guys in the screen 

And cancer behind the scenes

Long live Legacy 

May he live in every black child, including me 

Through his struggle, he never yielded 

Now he’s gone, can’t see the movement he has builded 

He wore the suit with honor 

And nobody will confuse him

Death itself is an illusion

It is not the end

but a new beginning 

May in his new life just like this one he may be winning

He’s a legend on the screen and every page ever read

I wish you could come back just to say he is not dead

To place him you could never

Where he lives in the Hearts and screens

Wakanda forever
