Although never a member of the Black Panther Party. The Black Panther Party was an influential presence in Nikki Giovanni's unapologetic Black Revolutionary Poetry.
Black Power
(For All The Beautiful Black Panthers East)
But the whole thing is a miracle---See?
We were just standing there
talking—not touching or smoking
Pot
When this cop told
Tyrone
Move along buddy—take your whores
outa here
And this tremendous growl
From out of nowhere
Pounced on him
Nobody to this very day
Can explain
How it happened
And none of the zoos or circuses
Within fifty miles
Had reported
a panther
missing
