Chadwick Boseman, Superhero in Life and Death

Actor, playwright and producer, Executive producer left his mark on the universe

Photo from Wikipedia

With Colon Cancer, like a hero, he lived and died

Touch the hearts of many globally with gentleness

His reach from eternity will always be adored

For the gift God gave him, he did share with all

On and off screen, strove to make lives better

From the young to the old, his story goes

Visited beds of young lives touched by cancer

While fighting his own battle, thought of others

While he brought a smile, to many sick kids

Off screen a great humanitarian with strength

On screen, magnetic, charismatic, and iconic

A trailblazer with a smile that melted hearts

Whose touch was soother and softer than cotton

All the while raging the war within his body

Through surgeries, chemotherapy he never stopped

Four years, never wavered, strove to make a difference

Each step of the way, everyday and in any way

As an actor, full throttle gave Jackie Robinson his due

Being James brown, Thurgood Marshall, the same was true

Then along came Black Panther, King T”Challa, the world amazed

Watching him on the big screen, bigger than life, kept all in a daze

Onto Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, no time to waste

For only he knew what war his body raged, must make haste

A Howard University graduate, born in South Carolina

Followed his dream, his talent to theater and television

Breaking out role, 2013, “42”, Jackie Robinson he played

Onto 2014, co-starred “Draft Day” his mark he laid

While flying high on a promotional European tour

Got the call for “Black Panther” the sky was the limit

The first black superhero the world would come to love

He floated across worldwide screens like a precious dove

Radiated charisma, joy and talent, never to be forgotten

Many worthy Oscar performance, was his claim to fame

Strength, talented, kindness, powerful, was his game

All stamped on a legacy, that went before him

“Avengers: Infinity War”, “Captain America-Civil War”

Avengers”, “Endgame”, “Message from the King”,

“Marshall” and “21 Bridges” and others his credit rings

All stamped with a legacy, that now goes after him

Leaving many unwritten eulogy, noteworthy at best

For the man who lived life and lived with zest.
