Reading The Image Of A Footballer Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Reading The Image Of A Footballer

Rating: 5.0


Overwhelming simplicity,
Everlasting unpretentiousness,
Untarnished, professionalism
Undoubted accomplishment

Spine, stiff enough to the game
Bowing down in front of people,
Unclenched palms of generosity
Yet, glistening satisfied eyes

Displayed genuine altruism
Unimpeachable disposition
A million dollar smile across face
An impeccable gestured soul

An icon of a genuine human character
Wow! ... what a self-speaking image of a footballer

I am not a football fan by any means. I had no favorites either. Still, interested to know who would win the final. France won.... so, what? But this picture in FB pushed me to the corner. That's why the poem.

Always consider the variables. Modern culture is basically the same as centuries ago. Famous and wealthy predominate. And benefit. You and I wither.
