Yuhi Musinga Poet Free verse

The Greatest

Thunder and lightning proclaimed his birth,
On a stormy day in Louisville Kentucky.
His young life spent in cloudy weather of Louisville,
Training at a farm near Reading, Pennsylvania,
He was fighting, not result, that mattered.
Character was all that counted,

Early adulthood was explored with intensity and purpose,
He impressed others along his path,
He fights and he writes,
Success and renown soon followed,
The King of ``The Rumble in the Jungle``
The Louisville, KY, reported: there’s a hero in the making.

Without looking down and no looking back,
He fight left & right beating champions and conquering belts,
The prettiest thing that ever lived,
Becoming a world heavyweight champion,
Those that would follow could easily see,
The way he had become,
A hero, there for their remaking.

Observing his progress, his championship walk,
He is a smiling pugilist,
He floats like a butterfly,
Sting like a bee" –,
a citizen of the world.
