A Haiku Tribute In Memoriam To the Greatest,Muhammad Ali

My hands are tender
I laugh with my own
Death I own life nothing

Others fear my friends
I talk for hours with my death
Do not fear my friends

You cry when I sleep
Death knows and understands
Men and their few words

The ring is the loneliest place in all of the whole wide world. There is no hiding...No respite...No escape. It is where a man finds questions he otherwise might not think to ask. Muhammad Ali...A credit to his race - The human race! Heaven is blessed tonight - For the greatest amongst us has returned home!! God bless and protect you...Muhammad Ali. John Harold Fleming.
