SOCCER AND ATHLETICS
I wish life was soccer and religion not athletic
Where we must run the race to the finish.
For if life was soccer then we’ll have teams that must constantly exchange friendly handshakes even in the face of heated competitions,
Rather than causing all to go into extinction but us.
Religion and denominations only seek to out run one another,
But in soccer there is neither creed nor kin only die- hard patriotism and passion.
If life was soccer, today’s Billgate, technocrats, diplomats and politicians
Could be tomorrow’s nobodies, for in soccer changing of sides is sacrosanct and perpetual winning or losing
Is not guaranteed, for surprise is its principle and intergrity.
If religion was athletic today’s Muslims could be Christians tomorrow for in athletics game- cross-carpeting is allowed.
If life was soccer they, who hack us to death today could be hacked by us tomorrow
Oh! I wish my tongue could taste that sweet nectar of milk and honey called revenge, or see my bart rise in prestigious service.
If religion was athletic then we would have a single universal rule, understood and vetoed by all,
For these divisions in interpreting and understanding the words of the supreme doctrines
Bedevils the world.
Oh that life was soccer, and religion not athletic. For then could the world truly know peace as we'll learn to appreciate our being as Writing In Progress.
For this is reasoning…
