Panda Eyes

Staring with your dark panda eyes, 
Lips hinting a smile, 
The carrot offering, 
You beckon me 
To play your game of souls. 
Will I be redeemed or damned? 
I fear death is the promise of those eyes 
Camouflaged in an angelic visage. 
Like a whore peddling sex 
At an anti-disestablishmentarianism convention, 
I am ripped from my element. 
Wary of the risks, 
Searching those secretive panda eyes, 
Tentatively, I offer my soul. 
Damned or redeemed I play.

Older word challenge poem using the words panda, angelic, anti-disestablishmentarianism.  Why else would that word ever show up in a poem. PS~ it was the opposition to the established Church of England

Janet, remarkable . . . a sterling achievement accomplished under demanding rules. (I wouldn't even dare try.)
