All Men's Dream - FIFA World Cup
Fifa World Cup
my heart dribbles, shoots, jumps
like a ball
Fifa World Cup
my heart is
the goal post
Fifa World Cup
the men, the goal, the roar
jeers and tears
Fifa World Cup
the soar, the goal, the roar
jeers and tears
bet-ters, footballers
The Poem
-
fun to watch
men's patriotism
once treading
over war fields
where tearing up
innocent children
and families are
worthwhile goals
is now confined
to the football field
national anthem
in deafening roars,
flags flashing in burst
of human typhoons
boys' fighting tears
for brothers' losses
old men's struggle
to be part of the fun and
worthier cause that
had eluded them
every victory a notch up
in international standing
a million lives in war wont buy
every goal magnified in
admiration and respect
in eyes of billions
war is a dirty word
and football
all men's balls and dream
