How do you explain a man like Muhammad Ali?

How do you explain a hurricane to a stone?

How do you explain courage?

Or unshakeable principle?

How do you describe a sparkle behind the eyes, shining like a distant sun?

How do you explain a man like Muhammad Ali?

How do you explain a fleet-footed shadow?

An unbound fury?

A bolt from the blue?

How do you explain a man like Muhammad Ali?

How do you deny a movement whose time has come?

How do you fight an unstoppable tide?

How do you land a blow on a breeze?

Or wrestle with a river?

How do you explain a man like Muhammad Ali?

You don’t.
