Poetry

Football

Football is a metaphorFor life that’s all aroundAnd every day we hike the ballTo play another down

Staring at our enemiesAnd waiting to be sackedRemembering the victoriesThat matter not, in fact

For each day is a separate gameWith victors of its ownAnd he who won just yesterdayCould soon be overthrown

So play the game with all your heartAnd focus on the ballAnd one day you will get your chanceTo rise above them all
