The Olympic Games May Be Watched By People Worldwide Poem by Francis Duggan

The Olympic Games may be watched by people Worldwide
But it is all about ego and nationalistic pride
Where winners are jubilant and losers are in tears
A disappointment that well may be with them for years
Since only the praises of the winner the media does sing
Sports and fun and games in the London Olympics is not the in thing
The winner of bronze would have preferred silver the winner of silver would have preferred gold
It is only of winners stories written and told
Millions in money preparing athletes for the Olympics by Governments is spent
In a World where millions are homeless and to many home is a cheap tent
That so much money is wasted on sport seems all wrong to me
In a World where so many people are in dire poverty
Where winners are jubilant and losers are reduced to tears
And the disappointment of losing out on the medals will be with them for years.
