I won!

the sweet joy of victory.
sweat trickling down the brow and a smile creeping on the lips.
a shout and hoot - hurray!
muscles still tensed , the t-shirt still soaked.
crowds screaming my name - ali ! ali ! ali!
shoes pounding on the floor, over the towel I threw.
hugs and cheers so many!my voice drowned by the drums.
I won.
someone , notice the blood oozing from his lips.
a counterpart fallen, cluthing his head.
stretcher, doctor and nurse running.
Someone, notice the pain in his silent scream.
I won.
Heart is soaring , head held high!
the trophy in my hands , a belt on my waist.
flashes of light and the media clambering;
I won.
Someone, notice the knuckles still bleeding.
His leg wrapped in an ice pack.
A collar around his neck.
Someone, notice his mother crying.
I won.
