Death -74, Soccer 0 Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Is that a way to distort
The beauty of a soccer game?
For killing is never a sport
What we see is such a shame.

Chaos scored seventy-four
As Egypt lost more sons
Violence has won even more
That nation has been undone.

Oh such a terrible waste
And for unjustified reasons
Lives lost in one brief haste
Of uncontrolled confusion.

Take hold of yourselves, Egyptians
Unbridled emotions control
Show the world you are real men
Never again let Death take its toll.
