Best Ali Poems

Mohammed Ali

Cassius Clay

The Legend

He was not a humble man
Everything he did, was big and grand
He taunted and barbed with poetic flair
His opponents he angered
Entertainment in the air

He was a legend, bigger than man
A champion in the ring
He often took a heroic stand
Breaking barriers of narrow...

You looked up to the skies
Praying angels would guide your voyage… sigh
Away for the brutality, of Assad and his war
You escaped, brothers three in arms
Loving, and wanting to build a better score

Wishing peace and happiness, to bury all wars strife
Dreams of an engineer filled with...

Muhammad Ali
Taunting with poetry,
His opponents he'd zing
As he danced 'round the ring.

There once was a boy Cassius Clay
Who dreamt to be greatest some day
When then in a bout
One punch in the mouth
On the canvas poor Liston would lay

Worse than Liston's performance that day
Were the lyrics...

You landed next to me while I was reading
Mahmoud Darwish in Arabic.
You said: "You really read this? Terrific."
I didn't know yet that this was leading

to a friendship right across all borders
to unite two hearts in pain.
How we both smiled, did not complain.
We went for coffee,...

Some senior military seized power in Gabon today,
Ali Bongo 's family led the country 
in fifty five years under umbrella 
of French  government as there were protected
The so called French interests to be on power. 
Today  President Ali Bongo is informing
the world about his arrestation...

A very famous champion,
 an inspiring enthusiastic man was he
Who has  now departed , yet is quoted, 
for many pearls of wisdom
Vociferous king , 
of the boxing ring
A sports star
And such a sport too.
A motivating peace star who shot up to deserved stardom
The earth be proud...

My hands are tender
I laugh with my own
Death I own life nothing

Others fear my friends
I talk for hours with my death
Do not fear my friends

You cry when I sleep
Death knows and understands
Men and their few words...

The man was a legend.  

So farewell, Cassius Clay, Ali
You knocked out a bit of poetry
That butterfly one sure packed a sting
And well done on the boxing thing

Mohammed, man, you’re counted out
You gave the boxing thing a shout
Wrote rhyme to make a grown man...

Boxing heavyweight king, Muhammad Ali,

was quick and strong, but also used psychology.

He'd let himself get pummeled, giving foes false hope -

like to George Foreman in Manila, his first "rope-a-dope."


*Rope a dope is a technique that Ali perfected when he 
beat George Foreman. By just taking...

Standing in front of the hidden entrance

On horseback, with loud sacks

Clinking as loot hit loot.

With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces

The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;

Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,

Ready to go back out and lay misery...

Young Ali Abass

He lain in a Baghdad hospital, 
They said he had no hope. 
Maimed and lost his family, 
How did that young lad cope? 

Torn apart by warfare, 
So-called freedom for Iraq. 
Try telling that to young Ali Abass, 
He can't have his family...

"BRUCE And ALI"

*Written and Dedicated to "Silent One!
whose admiration for these two is as 
mine!*

This is a poem about two men
who were both extraordinary!
Their skills were unmatched
and remain so to this day-
one's named 
"BRUCE" 
and the other 
"ALI!"

Both were 
"Masters" 
and really excelled
in the world...

Smoking Joe Fraser, no sting as a bee…
That knack resides with Mohammed Ali!
   Though killer in Manila…
   Very persistent fellow,
Smoked the rope a dope folly, by golly!

In honor of Linda-Marie, (S.H. Of P.S...

I take your look most seriously.
Seriously.
I take that look furiously.
In my journey I be.
Waiting at the finish line I imagine time after time.
Inside wine after wine bottle 
With each key stroke
I wonder 
What you will think.
With each love
In each moment
Its simple to you
But not here
Its...
