Muhammad Ali—The World’s Greatest
Damn man! I’ve just heard the latest
About Muhammad Ali aka The World’s Greatest
The world’s most charismatic man in boxing and entertainment
Has passed away today mate
To say that I’m saddened is an understatement
No boxer alive could take his emplacement
He was definitely the bravest
That man would have us all in amazement
You’ll be linking on to his every word like a bracelet
Totally loved and totally hated
Simply because he spoke about the modern enslavement
As well as these serious issues that are blatant
He took down his opponents like an assailant
The walking example of “Edutainment”
This year has been very lame
The world would officially never be the same
He certainly put the likes of Joe Frazier to shame
His ubiquitous personality was his claim to fame
I am totally floored and saddened
That Ali’s death actually happened
Right now I’m emotionally flattened
It’s like the whole world has totally blackened
My sincere condolences go out to the whole of the Ali family
He’s probably up there smiling happily
With the current world full of shit and fallacies
Hitting us all like a malady
This man was full of charm, wit and charisma
Some would say that he was an enigma
Haters will continue to try and attach a stigma
Right now the boxing will never be the same
The likes of Mayweather have gone beyond insane
It’s devastating that the world has lost another legend
His name Muhammad Ali will be forever mentioned
He has made an everlasting impression
There are not enough words to show my expression
About the man who tackled issues such as oppression
And always for a hot second
He stood up for black people without feeling threatened
Putting in the work of the hope of a progression
