Extraordinary

A great man once said " I will show you how great I am" he was an inspiration to all African Americans in a time showing there was more than being free That man looked similar to me But I am an extraordinary remarkable man And many may wonder where my inspiration lies Many may wonder why man such as I can strive Well if you look into my eyes you will see I have guts, determination, and glory like the greatest Muhammad Ali To be the greatest, he sure set the bar real high But I have a competitive spirit and I will surpass him... believe me there is no try So if he can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee THEN WATCH ME If, even in the face of jail, this man can stand and fight for that which he believes THEN WATCH ME If this man can stand toe to toe with Sunny Liston when everyone says he’ll surely face defeat THEN WATCH ME If this man can cast away his name and endure public scrutiny THEN WATCH ME I may have never wrestled an alligator or done tussled with a whale. I’ve never handcuffed lightening or thrown thunder in jail. And surely I’m not so mean I’ve made medicine sick But watch me! Every time I face adversity and "I know you got him picked," I'm going to roll up my sleeve and get down to the grit. I won't let anything take away my moment to shine I stand at the doorway of greatness WATCH ME do something EXTRAORDINARY -Jordan Hinton
