SUNSET

ODD TO SEE IT HAPPENED ,
UNEXPECTED ,NATURAL  A PHENOMENON ,
THE SILENT BREEZE BLEW ,HOVERING ,
AROUND THE RING WITH IT A LEGEND ,
GLOVES IN HAND ,IMAGES OF HIS FIGHTS ,
CLEAR LIKE YESTERDAY.


BOXERS STOOD ,AS IF PINED DOWN BY  
AN INVISIBLE FORCE , THE RING IS DARK ,
YES THE SUNSET  WAS UNEXPECTED ,
SLOWLY  IN A MELODIOUS RHYTHM
THE BREEZE COVERED .

AS IT CAME DOWN WITH NOTHING ,
IT LEFT THE RING WITH FOOTPRINTS ,
WHICH CAN NEVER BE WIPED ,
BOXERS  LOOKED AT THE STEPS ,
DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW OR EMMULATE ,
THE MOVES COMPLEX ,
BUT MOVES OF VICTORY .

THE LEGEND OF THESE MOVES    
WRAPPED IN THE BREEZE ,
WAVED WITH A SMILE. THE LEGEND IS GONE ,GONE FOREVER.

  ADIEU MOHAMED ALI ,
WHERE THE LAST WORDS OF THE BOXERS ,
AS THEY LEAVE THE RING ,
ROSES  IN HAND ,NODDING THEIR
HEADS IN APPROVAL, YES HE IS THE GREATEST EVER
TO HAVE WALKED IN TO THE RING.
              R.I.P ,             R.I.P
         CASSIUS                      CLAY
OH     MO HAMMED                          ALI
