The Olympic Spirit Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT
Melvin Banggollay


The flag of world's Olympic spirit
is soaring like an eagle in the sky
and beaming with smile truly sweet
As nations with glee sing and cry
with heart lifted without any deceit
as they shared laughters and try
to greet a brother even they compete
in various games they used to fry
their superior skills only to beat
other athletes who may even cry
not being lucky as they have defeats.

But the real score is not the winning
Nor being declared the superior being
for what matters most is the joining
of every nations sweetly smiling
as they witnessed the joy of sharing,
caring together even we're competing,
respecting each other even in losing,
being united with diverse beginning,
and loving together with understanding.

The Olympic is an event that manifest
All nations can become all brothers
and there's no need to wage a quest
of war to promote one's shining power.
Let the spirit of this Olympic conquest
Bring us together as brothers and sisters
That in one moment we feel at all ease
Despite of some languages barriers
and racial differences nestled by ages.
