Ali Days


I feint
And the day moves to the right.
It does not know
How ready I am,
How I have eagerly looked forward,
To this moment, to this fight.

I jab
And all that assails me goes left.

I dip
And my enemies lose breath.

I move forward
And they can't believe their eyes.

Why does he keep getting up?
Why does he rise?

There is Ali inside
There is Ali inside
There is Ali inside.

You do not know
How God has changed my pride.

In the face of loss
There is Ali inside.
