Hi all I have nothing against football! -I was once the goalie!! And sports
I was school sportsman of the year (60 years ago!)
I meant the poem to be a protest about the continuous bombardment by or
Governments as an 'opiate of the masses' us!not to worry us about other
issues
Cheers all
Admittedly I rather do things than watch others (same as poetry:-)

BALLS
we have
just been
brainwashed
all over the tv
with weeks of
men mindlessly
kicking balls
large footballs
and then
people mindlessly
hitting medium balls
with tennis racquets
yellow tennis balls
and now
we are threatened
with more crazy
men mindlessly
clubbing small balls
white golf balls
balls all balls
is there no end
to this madness?
our government
must be desperate
must be trying
to distract divert
hide cover up
conceal something?
perhaps we need
Edward Snowden
here-back again
S O S -help!
