The life of Bruce Lee
That daily inspires me
Gives me a purpose
His philosophy Jeet Kune do
Teaches me to reach but
Does not preach
Serves as a Doctor
When I'm hurt and wounded
Deep in my Soul
Whatever the reason
Born a human
I don't need one
Coach and enabler
Let's me find my answer
Enabling my search
By adding wisdom
Which he imparts so well
Dons other roles
The tales he told
By his acting roles
Gives me pleasure
Watching him enact
Movement in stillness
Speed faster than
My eyelids closing
Making me wonder
Was he human
A friend he is
When he says
Its alright to loose
Offering the greatest gift
A friend can part with
The Will to face
Humanity's self created race
Where i too chase
Dreams that are dear
Far or near
Simple quotes for living
To keep the days going
Has said so many
Makes the living easy
His life was his message
Lived by the words
Answers he got
In his search
Shares them with all
Everyone gets the feeling
He wrote it all
With me in his thoughts
He addressed me directly
Like he does millions independently
Life an inspiration
His fight to cross
Every block that was tossed
To put him at a loss
Walked the talk
Never doubted his skill
Used his own philosophy
When he went for the ****
Making the impossible
Into a reality
Workaholic in days
Replaced the hours
Days on end
On the film set
Till he fainted
Literally in his fight
To paint his life's canvas
Small budget films
Made in Cantonese
Restricted in budgets
Second take a leisure
Never enjoyed the pleasure
Had to still deliver
With all its restrictions
The 5 movies he acted
As an adult
Did not just
Become box office hits
But part of cultural history
In everybody's conscious memory
Simple and direct
Easy to follow
Work ethic laid before
Sweat the secret
Of success galore
Greatest role for humanity
The god of anti bully
As a savagely bullied kid
Continuing till i was an adult
Stopped the second
I started studying him every second
Standing tall by my side
The bullies know what
They will get
No sacrifice big enough
Immortality bestowed upon
A light shining
Twice as bright
Lives half the life
