RECOLLECTIONS OF GLENN BURKE,
A SPORTSMAN
He tried to defy the odds as a gay black man,
his intentions later were evident.
But alas frustrating.
A universal handshake that would be remembered
through a victorious accomplishment and time has
forgotten, little do THEY know!
He had a scowl, forceful, chiseled,
and aggression that would not wait!
His beauty was that of an African prince;
loved, feared, sometimes hated.
Yet misunderstood. A thuggish persona,
finally withered away by a
debilitating and rotting illness.
He was an inspiration, life of the
party, spoiled, but still prideful 'til
death. He will NOW be remembered as a
HERO!
