Jan 2022
Budget almost none
Shot in the Bangkok sun
Shadows seen
Second take a luxury
Not afforded produced in penury
Drug smuggling with a front
Ice factory workers bearing the brunt
Cousins killed and hero seeking revenge
Nothing new in the storyline
Plot twists seen time and again
Cantonese the language spoken
Which even half of China did not understand
Locations to a minimum
Ice factory and it's office
Workers quarters and the Boss palace
Claustrophobic environment
A river side only exception
A motion picture filmed in the conditions
A newcomer cast
Wanting his career to last
Wants to create a new genre
Lacking all the pomp and splendor
Hong Kong cinema
Costume dramas
Sword fights and flying above trees
The only fare that audience pay to see
A child artist
Done 20 films in the past
Now the god of martial arts
Trying to get his philosophy across
Breathtaking stunts
Done for real
No compromise
Even though it's for the reel
Faster than light a physical marvel
Fists and Legs
Kicks and jumps
Never seen before
Left the audience wanting more
Always wondered in my heart
What makes Bruce Lee stand apart
Half a century since he died
6 year old kids know of him first
Is it the Fights?
Is it the Philosophy?
Is it the speed?
Is it the innocence?
Many have come later
Classics by many a maker
Same or different genre
Never close to the appeal of this Seer
God of Anti Bullying
Fights for the underdog
Takes a stance for the weak
Gives enormous strength to the weak
Many of this
Many a hero has done
What makes him special
I don't have the exact answer
Key to immortality
Handed to Bruce Lee
Chosen to be
Remembered till the universe is to be
