The Underdog

Anybody, who is struggling,
Is my people
The one with the color purple,
Who will one day earn and own the ring.

I love fighters, who are not backstabbers,
I don't like haters or fake lovers,
I adore freedom fighters
As I abhor bullies and predators.

I love the underdog,
Who works smart, trains hard
And who fears neither fire nor fog.

That doesn't mean I like Mr. or Ms. Frog,
The one who will commit fraud
In order to win like a casuistic coward.
