Cassius Clay


A heavy Weight Champion
  Who punched his way
    Through barriers of colour
      With blows of a kind Heart...
	
He floated like a Butterfly
   Yet, stung like a Bee
    A Heavy Weight Champion
      With a light weight Heart!

Epitome of bonhomie
  Who tamed his angry Soul
    By the Light of Faith
      Re-directing throe
      With fury to his Foe.

Despite adversity of Birth
  Trained to taper his temper
    Sheathing hard-knock fist-
      Boxer of amity and Love-
      Inside a comfy glove!
	
                     *

Boxing is a recondite bodily Art
From the soft side of man’s Heart!

When he pours his sturdy arm
I perceive Art and not harm...

Floating quick and so ethereal
Dexterity invokes scenes surreal!

When Foe hits the canvas at last
Shall he forever be an outcast?

Victor must stand up and muse:
“For One to Win, One must lose

“Ignore then face turned blue 
“For I must celebrate with you

“You fell down as my boxing Foe
“Rise up a Friend for a cup of joe!

“You’ve lost in the boxing ring
“You won being my Friend my King!”	


                   *

Honoured be they that can compete
Our mirth they do totally replete,
A symbol of sacrifice holy and pure
As Pain and patience they do endure!

The World is now just one Village
Meant for amity and not for pillage
Sports direct how we affably relate
By accord not by how we dictate!

Fight the World, fight with the mind
Sheath your blows protect the rind
The World needs Love’s agile blows
Blows of Faith Cassius best knows!

                      *

Fight with facts, fight with vim 
Fight the Devil with solemn hymn
Don’t fight with greed or fight with whim
But fill the Cup to the brim!

                       *

Endure the sting
 and earn your honey
Endure the blow
 to earn your money

Like a butterfly flow,
 like a Bee do sting
Like a butterfly flow,
 like a Bee do sting!

Cassius Clay
Man O’ th’ Day!


*Dedicated to those who fight with Peace and for Peace. The World is a Village and we’re Family!
