Beat! Beat! Drums!: Actor-Congressman Manny Pacquiao’s glory shines even more

Brief Sidebar on Poetic Intervention, Hollywood, California – “Character and personal force are the only investments that are worth anything,” said Walter Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892), an American poet, essayist, journalist, and humanist who published his poem “Beat! Beat! Drums!” as a patriotic rally call for the North America.

But, Floyd “Money-Pretty Boy” Mayweather,Jr.’s recent acerbic tirades against Filipino headline celebrity, Manny Pacquiao, calling the latter a “midget” and etcetera ,are nothing more than just beating the drums for entertainment, however offensive they are. Sure , his character is one such of an abomination, which may have gone to the lowest level of the abyss. For Maywearther, Jr., it is his way of patriotic rally for all his fans.

But, whatever verbal attacks Mayweather, Jr. has, one thing is clear he has broken the boundaries of poetic form of entertainment.

It’s just Pacquiao’s entertaining power has become a threat to the man from Grand Rapids. Enviousness is what gets in the head of the Money-Pretty Boy all because Pacquiao’s rising popularity in the mainstream America may have railroaded over his antics, even over his best at the “Dancing with the Stars.”

Conversely, give thanks to Money-Pretty Boy of his vulgarity because Pacquiao’s glory shines even more…lifting, in fact, even much higher.
