Shadow Boxing
in the empty arena
he meets his rival
ready to go to war
the time has come
once and for all
to finally settle the score
his opponent towers
a grim appearance
like the reaper in black
threatened not
the fearless challenger
prepares for attack
accurate swings
left and right
through the air they hiss
the elusive shadow
ducks and dodges
as punches barely miss
the figure possesses
many advantages
easy to deceive
evading every
shot thrown
as it bobs and weaves
the only sure way
to defeat the shadow
without a reason of doubt
ball your fists
close your eyes
and knock his lights out!
