And the Winner is...

Respect the time it took,

if not the distance

Looking for an opening

at the path of least resistance

for i 've been too long on my feet,

may not have won

but i've never been beat,

never taken a seat waiting for the bell...

It's a cruel and bloody game

one simple rule, some things never change

knock the other off his feet

or have him throw in his towel

when he can no longer compete

but in slo-mo it looks so neat

we forget its a living

What makes you resort to blows,

is it anger that consumes you

or in truth do you not know?

To spend you life within a ring

when in fact it's a square

does that not tell you anything?

don't you see ,my friend,

you've been shadow boxing?
