Description

Have you ever wondered what is the shortest poem ever written?

After a search, here is a result. The shortest poem in the English language, by the late great Muhammad Ali, is simply “Me, We”. I think he meant we are nothing without our connection to other people. Relationships define us. Ali was well known for his wit.

Me, We

* By Mohammed Ali
