A Fighter's Life
Jeorgie

Ding........                                                            
 1
 
 
And the round begins.
 2
 
 
We are from different worlds him a righty, and me a south paw
 3
 
 
But not payin attention to our differences
 4
 
 
He wastes no time.
 5
 
 
He throws hooks and body shots of knowledge and wisdom.
 6
 
 
I try to side step his blows
 7
 
 
But im trapped.
 8
 
 
 
 
Some how though I manage to get out with a few jabs of ignorance.
 9
 
 
I am safe for a few seconds.
 10
 
 
Until two thundering uppercuts of maturity and discipline hit my jaw like a straight shot of vodka.
 11
 
 
I throw wild haymaykers of independence.
 12
 
 
But is useless.
 13
 
 
For I am knocked - out.
 14
 
 
A new fighter is born.
 15
 
 
A Fighter's Life.
