The Champ

Float like a butterfly, sting as a buzzing bee
Sorry, had to change it to fit into sonnet
The greatest of them all, captured in boxing's net
That gave him famous face and a platform to be

Activist, fighting right against his great belief
That war is not answer to a circular life
Believe in your aura, and have supportive wife
Then stand up for the cause of racial relief

This proud and strong champion, historical legend
That faced a great challenge, a demonic disease
With grace and dignity, his presence made us freeze

As he now passed away, ghostly silent engine
We will remember him, tributes about his past
That will enshrine this man, way longer than this blast!
