Who was he ?
John Clare Stokes
And who was he to intrude
down the final stretch
to steal the thunder
from those who stayed
the course to the bell lap
cursing this ghost
who dared enter their hell
from air they crave most
screaming in their lanes
he who so easily kept apace
the churning legs aflame
to vanish without trace
the cheers to the sprint
rose and swelled to bells clang
the arms heavenward sent
who was he that came?
