My Mighty Pen

               By Thomas Long

A pen in my hand

I strike a mighty blow

With the courage to fight

in places Mike Tyson wouldn't go

Swift, I'm like Roy Jones

an artist at work

My combinations paint a pretty picture

yet they hurt

Reminiscent of Pernell Whitaker

in his prime 

Or maybe Sugar Ray Leonard

the way I control your mind

I make U think of Marvin Hagler

cause I love to brawl

I pack a punch like George Foreman

as my competitors fall

The greatest of all time

Yes, Muhammad Ali

There's not another urban poet

that compares with me

30 minutes or less

with the paper and pen

I never die, like Holyfield

I'm coming back again
