Final Whistle -Tribute To Diego Maradona Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Final Whistle -Tribute To Diego Maradona

Rating: 5.0


In the city of Bunes Aires, in Argentina,
The ball rolled through the houses and,
Narrow muddy lanes of Villa Fiorito.
That leather ball took him beyond ages,
And vanished all the narrow limits.

You told it is your satisfaction,
No life, no pain, only a flow.
You defended well from cruel fouls,
Returned and shot beautiful goals,
But you were falling by your own fouls,
Drugs, depression, delirium, aimless goals,
Misjudging, cursing, banning, and arrests.

You were a rebel always to authority,
Even when you were in full blossom,
God's own hand was caring for you,
And cast some dark shadows on you too.

Talent in luxury lavished on the ground,
Fame changed slowly to tragedy in life,
You didn't follow the whistles and,
Red cards in your own personal life,
Were struggling to escape from the,
Narrow bridge of life and death altogether.

You could dribble into our heart,
Made a new religion for football,
You were the genius exploded,
Created the epic of the soccer,
Classical symphonies made forever.

Football was to you the greatest happiness,
The romantic freedom like touching the sky,
Now you returned to that fluffy paradise,
Leaving us here to lament for the legend.

Football was to you the greatest happiness, The romantic freedom like touching the sky, Now you returned to that fluffy paradise, Leaving us here to lament for the legend. Indeed, there is a sad feeling when you think of Maradona. But let us hope he resumes his game in the glowing fields of heaven.....Beautifully penned Suresh!

the genius.. Created the epic of the soccer, Classical symphonies made forever.... //.... Despite his unique achievements on field, he was a man of flesh and blood, very down to earth who endeared himself to everybody and anybody. He had weaknesses and turbulent times but he went on to surmount them.
