Manny Pacquiao
President Marcos in command
under
martial law, ruled the land.
Nineteen seventy eight Manny born
his zodiac
sign Capricorn.
The Philippines were graced
a genius had
surfaced.
Parents split when he was young
in
education remained unsung.
Poor,
sometimes desperately so
no! no! don't let it
show.
Left home when just fourteen
determined, ambitious,
keen.
Amateur boxing tries his luck
showing toughness,
pluck.
Represents the Philippines
quickly learned the
guidelines.
At sixteen years he turns pro
not yet the lord mayors
show.
Eleven wins then a loss
ko'd, not yet the boss.
Weight seemed
to give trouble
seemingly a career struggle.
Eventually an octuple champion
eight different world titles
won.
Six from the big four
The Ring gave two more.
The Ring titles
are notional
the fans getting emotional.
WBA,WBC,IBF. WBO
up and
down to and fro.
Acting, singer, politics too
fighting Mayweather long
overdo.
