A Needed Support System

Locked in the cage, an individual sport;

Teammates, loved ones, faithful followers outside.

Truth is, this couldn’t be done without support;

Strength in numbers together, heartwarming pride.

Fighters minus unity have sundry skills;

Selfish plans, a wickless candle, can’t pay bills.

Feeding some advice, received like gibberish;

Hears after cracked with loss of a single wish.
