Greatest

HE WAS CALLED THE GREATEST BY ALL WHO STOOD PROUD AND TALL.

HE NEVER GAVE UP AND HE NEVER GAVE IN

HE WAS TRULY STRONG WITHIN BORN INTO GREATNESS.

HE WAS A FIGHTER FOR ALL CAUSES AN ACTIVIST FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.

HE TOOK A LOT OF BLOWS NOT JUST PHYSICALLY BUT SPIRITUALLY.

HIS SOUL AT TIMES WAS BEATEN BUT HE ALWAYS GOT UP.

HE FOUGHT THE LONGEST BATTLE UNTIL THE END ITS NAME PARKINSON'S DISEASE.

A DISEASE THAT HIT HIM PHYSICALLY BUT NOT MENTALLY.

HE FLOATED LIKE A BUTTERFLY AND STINGED LIKE A BEE.

HIS NAME WAS MUHUMMAD ALI.
