Poem
I believe in the right place and the right time. If one has fighting in mind. I'm not talking about people who join (the fight,) those who stand up for a cause. People fight for a number of reasons. Two people don't agree on something. Ignorance, anger and lack of patience. People let their anger get the better of them. Really angry people feel they have to hurt you. Most people believe there is no such thing as a fair fight. You hear things like “*itch!” I’m gown beat your sorry behind tonight! And the other says “you can try!” “You gotta bring some to get some! These are the people that carries a weapon. For those who were taught how to fight, like Boxers and people who study the Marshall arts. When you learn how to fight, you have to remember people's second amendment rights. You'd be surprise at the number of people who'd bring a gun to a fist fight. There are those who go out looking for a fight. Suffering from inflated ego's or over confidence. Those are ones who get beaten up every time. I was a Dee Jay working at night club. A guy came up to me and told me. He came out to start something. His night wouldn't be right without a good fight. So later that night when the club was packed. And of course, a fight started on the other side of the room. Mr. Ignorant jumps up and turns over his table looking to start something. But the people had quickly picked up their drinks and stood back. I smiled as security walked his Ignorance out the door. If one has fighting in mind, I believe in the right place and the right time. So, lets flash back to 1979 Where I was in a Kung Fu class. After training for a few of months, In the outdoor gym, my class mate Help me find my glass chin. I was over confident, He showed me why he was number one In the class and I was number two. I wanted to go a few rounds with him. I thought I was better than he was. So, I was clowning around making him look bad, or so I thought. When I took my stance. That’s when he taped me on my chin. And… that was thee end… The lights went out. I came too, and found myself on the gym floor And people looking down at me. I had never been knocked out before. I have kept my ego in check from that day to this. So, I learned that ignorance is bliss, until you get hit by a fist.
