About the strongest fighter with the kindest heart


Everything in life is like boxing...
...and «boxing is an unnatural act»


The better way for delivering punches –
Step away or forward, you know.
You step left – and heard a bone crunches,
You step right – it’s to the Greatest Unknown.
You don’t want smash o bite -
Dear Kindness! – but you must
Go and bite, have a fight –
It’s a human-jungle-law, J. Christ!
What for the Goodness in this «human law»?
Kind Heart, just one thing you must know:
«Always protect yourself» - it is all.
So, here we are. Now, you go!
