In Andy Warhol’s fierce painting “Muhammad Ali”
Fire seeps from the page; a stake driven through opponents; here stands the best, the only Ali
Colors contrast vividly
Muhammad Ali captured unaware
“You the ugliest person I ever seen”
A glimpse into his soul through the canvas,
“Float like a butterfly sting like a bee”
Booming fists crowned as kings of the ring
Stone faced; unscathed, unmoved, unwilling to turn away
Piercing eyes, dark and abysmal
Culture screams through vibrant colors
World’s best fighters struck by art
In Andy Warhol’s fierce painting “Muhammad Ali"
