Unfinished Business
In this maddening heat
of the prizefight
where ferocity reigns and
might is right,
the shrewder one may yet
triumph tonight.
For even the best can be
at his worst
and the last can still
outlast the first,
but either way it goes,
egos burn and burst.
Victor and vanquished
will stay remorseless;
they'll fight again till
they'll be both lifeless;
for to fight and win is an
unfinished business !
