The Legend Of Muhammad Ali Poem by Daya Nandan

The life story of Muhammad Ali is truly an inspiration,
The way he rose from a humble beginning to a respected man in the nation,
He started training at 12 before he became the great legend he is today,
Embraced the toughness of discipline to improve in every possible way,

Step by step he trained at each chance to evoke improvement,
Punch by punch he had developed great strength and agile movement,
Extreme hand-eye coordination and superb footwork to an epic degree,
He could float like a butterfly yet his punches could sting like a bee,

The world heavy weight boxing champion at the age of 22,
Thanks to the harsh training he put himself through,
To surpass his limits and move forward in his career,
He trained to be agile, strong and built a resistance to fear,

But Muhammad Ali was more than the legendary boxer we know,
He fought against racism so the seeds of unity could grow,
He was against discrimination, he was for justice and equality,
And that is what makes Muhammad Ali a man of great quality.
