It is said, “to have a friend - be a friend”
though being one doesn’t mean you will have one,
nor does “friend” mean they’ll be one to the end
Muhammad Ali says know “friend” when done.
I will be a friend to Muhammad Ali,
though he need never know - because I do.
I’m his friend, because he's been one to me,
nor need he know this before he is through.
If I am a good friend, he need not know,
in the same way he taught me a life lesson
by planting seeds only wisdom could grow -
like seeing how wise pop was though I have no son.
Pop or Ali - friend both, or one of them
either may help stop ignorant mayhem.
