A. k. a. (F. A. D.) Filipino American Dream

 

Edge © 2013

 

Did you ever feel on the edge?

Said the words a hundred times or so.

Show the world what you really meant.

Sent is on a verge of something that’s going to happen.

Fury is not yours to control.

Don’t sale-out your soul.

I don’t hate F. A. D., but I pity the fool.

Time has come to get schooled.

We’re going to meet he’s dead meat.

I’m a fighter not a lover.

Mano-a-mano is merciless karma.

America’s biggest loser is ready for a makeover.

Suckers suffer my surface to air missile.

Arsenal payload hits hard, takes out a notch.

Watch-out for his wide scope.

Yield in order to develop; just can’t elope.

Take-in each body blows like a punching bag.

What a drag, starting to give signs of jet lag.

Snap-out of this, look-out, dodge and make him miss.

Dismiss, too late, way too many mistakes.

Relate haven’t come to terms.

Adjourn; stage to get your face blotched-out.

Don’t pass-out there’s no more standing eight counts.

Don’t remember the ten counts he knocked you out.

 

Fight back,

Relax and attack.

Get a grip,

Angle step,

And let one rip.

Take control, side to side and patrol.

Defend, counter and offend.

This is only the beginning of the end.

 

What’s unseen becomes seen.

Pledge to a new routine.

Clean slate, setback is just that.

That’s just straight-up the facts.

Actions speak louder than words.

Old school is dull and rusty.

He’s no ordinary fighter.

“Clubber” Lang is younger with a southpaw haymaker release.

Cease to exist if he lands one on your cheek, don’t be meek.

No more signs of a Rocky Balboa second round massacre.

Need to be smarter and sharper.

Train to be a savvy Chrysler 300C Hemi.

Ten ounce gloves are heavy like two pick-up Chevys’.

Now, you know how Tom Brady’s perfect season catastrophe felt at quarterback.

F.A.D. team got your back.

You can’t take another “Big” Ben Roethlisberger hit and sack.

Being undefeated does not matter.

Defeat can only make you stronger.

No longer is an issue pursuing to be the best.

Put him to rest no more contest.

 

Fight back,

Relax and attack.

Get a grip,

Angle step,

And let one rip.

Take control, side to side and patrol.

Defend, counter and offend.

This is only the beginning of the end.

 

A. k. a. F. A. D. style will shout-out.

Shut-out next bout with Rumble in the Jungle.

Mingle flashes of lightning with sounds of thunder.

No more blunder, time for war and plunder.

Start singing Elvis, you’re about to leave the building.

Sending is your ugly a*s to be OutKast.

Fast and furious is his only motto.

Han Solo has a weakness.

Relentless will be against the rope.

This time use the rope-a-dope.

I heard you can hit harder than Joe Louis.

Is that all you can muster?

I thought you were the master of disaster.

Better be unorthodox you need to be a sly fox.

Sock one to him, don’t let him pass.

He is out of gas absorb his punches.

Lunge, jab and maneuver.

Hover around, combo and go for the K. O.

End this S. O. B. on the H. B. O. show.

 

Fight back,

Relax and attack.

Get a grip,

Angle step,

And let one rip.

Take control, side to side and patrol.

Defend, counter and offend.

This is only the beginning of the end.
