Spar with the Gods
Stealthy hand and rapid eye

Gleaming light shimmers from the blade of a sai


Decorated sword and five pointed staff

Within these two weapons, caged fury and wrath


A black and white symbol dons a white silken robe

Embroidered on and shaped like a globe


The other is dressed in Ebony black

With a fierce jade green dragon across his back


His hands form two clenched fists

Both in which anger and violence exists


The other replies in such a way

His respectful bow brings his foe dismay


They leap together in what seems like a dance

Clashing lightning flashing from the blade of a lance


Dirty moves thrown, plenty of a cheap shots

Every blow bringing wretched painful knots


Teetering from pain, balance sought once again

Calling on the tenacious powers of zen


The force of a lion, merging of wills

forces his enemy back with his martial art skills


A punch thrown, a footsweep executed quick

with fast movement brings out a long wooden stick


He twirls it in a fancy almost showing off his speed

Then throws it to the side in an effort to mislead


The guy in black rises up in order to meet

A nicely placed roundhouse, thrown to defeat


He falls back and hits the floor unconciously ridden

A god of martial arts he has overridden


Defended his honor and beaten his foe

With finely honed knowledge in Taekwondo
