Frank Bruno Instagram – Afternoon a bit of poetry for you!
Outside the Ring
By Samantha Crilly,
George Francis once said to me,
When boxing finishes the real fight begins
You’ve had your moments of glory, your spectacular wins.
But who are you now, standing outside the ring?
So where did I go after I fought my last fight?
I could retire into the shadows or make change in the light.
I’d spoken about the fights with my fists.
But not the ones that to the eye can be missed.
The ones that often lay silent yet speak for so many.
Taken too lightly but often too heavy.
I spoke out against the lab coats, the drugs they spill.
So lavishly for money, making us ill.
I decided to create my own, my very own creation,
A place to help other people, The Frank Bruno Foundation
Non-contact boxing a place to reflect.
With pure medicine for the mind with no side effects
I knew my words held power and my actions had weight.
That I had a chance to pull up a chair in this debate
I will speak up for men,
That sometimes it’s strong to be weak.
That you can still be a man and speak
So now I fight with my voice for the people.
Against falsehood and evil
My legacy won’t just live within my gloves.
But will live within my words, compassion and love #poetry #poem #poems | Posted on 27/Mar/2024 20:01:29
