Abebe Bikila And Abebe Bakery In Korea

Kinsley Lee

He was a soldier at the royal guard, 
And joined the war for this country, 
Which unknown and be a freedom guard
At the Kagnew unit as an infantry.

He won the new record in Rome
With bare-foot, and Tokyo again.
To him the road was at home, 
In Seoul we met him again.

As a soldier, he visited Korea
And as a famous athlete again, 
For unknown competition in Korea.
No guarantee but visited fain.

Alas, a Korean friend couldn't revisit
And no trace of him in this country
But many Koreans, visit, 
Not knowing the name, but the Bakery.
