MUHAMMAD ALI

HE WAS A BORN HERO
BUT IN THE BEGINNING WAS TREATED AS A NEGRO

HIS INITIAL NAME WAS CASSIUS MARCELLUS CLAY
BUT MUHAMMAD ALI WAS THE NAME HE TOOK TO STAY

HIS BIKE GOT LOST AND HE BECAME WORRIED
THE COACH DISCOVERED HIM AND THE DESPAIR VANISHED

HE PARTICIPATED IN THE OLYMPICS AND BROUGHT HOME THE MEDAL OF GOLD
APARTHEID WAS STILL RULING AND THEY REFUSED TO SERVE HIM IN 
BOLD

IT ACHED HIM SO BAD, HE THREW THE MEDAL IN THE RIVER
THE MEDAL VALUED LESS TO AMERICANS EVEN THAN THEIR BEER

HE TOOK THE SHAHADA AND BECAME A MUSLIM
THEY DETESTED THIS AND VOWED TO MALIGN HIM

ALI REFUSED TO FIGHT IN THE VIETNAM WAR
HE WAS TRIED ,CONVICTED AND PUT BEHIND THE BAR

HE WENT TO KINSHASA TO CONQUER THE RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE
HE KNOCKED DOWN FOREMAN WHO TOOK DOWN TO STUMBLE

ALI WENT FLYING TO THRILLA IN MANILA
HE TOOK DOWN FRAZIER AS GUERRILLA IN VANILLA

HE WAS CALLED THE BLACK SOARING SUPERMAN
WHO STUNG LIKE A BEE AND YET AN AFRICAN AMERICAN

HE WON MANY INTERNATIONAL MEDALS AND TITLES
BUT STILL IS ONE OF THE MOST HUMBLE KNOWN LAURELS

HE IS THE MEDALLION OF BRAVERY FOR THE WHOLE HUMANITY
HE IS AN HONOR AND DISTINCTION OF GREATNESS AND CHASTITY

HE IS A SYMBOL OF PRESTIGE AND PERFECTION
HIS NAME IS SUPERIORITY IN SELECTION AND BEST OF REPUTATION

HE LIVED A LIFE WHICH WAS PROMINENT AND POPULAR
GLOBALLY, HE IS GIVEN AFFECTION AND CONDUCT APPROVAL ROAR

HE IS LIVING A RETIRED LIFE WITH HIS LOVELY FAMILY
MAY HE BE BLESSED EARTHLY, HEAVENLY AND ETERNALLY
