The Greatest

The Greatest

During turbulent times
he was our dancing magnet

A new kind of athlete
who did so polarize
young and old

This transcendent soul
the powers that be
tried to bury

but eventually
the champ beat them all
inside the ring and out

til there was no doubt
this man was exactly
as self advertised

Float like a butterfly

Sting like a bee

The greatest force in sports history 

Rest in peace

Muhammad Ali

Hi Steve,

Short like a butterfly; sweet like a honey bee.  You managed to capsulize his whole life in a few lines of beautiful insight.  Welcome, my brother, to the triumvirate of Ali lovers on Facebook!  I think each of our three poems compliment one another.  Very well written.  Very passionate.  Very cutting edge.

Peace and Love,

Larry
