With everything that is going on
In a stressed and turbulent world
With kids dying in slavery,
Genocide in Gaza,
Bombs falling on Syria,
Bankers trying to engineer
The start of World War Three
Only a loon would consider -
I hear you say -
A game of Soccer
To be in any way
Of any great importance.
The irony is,
If this were a sane planet,
It probably would be.
