Wishful Example Poem by Ima Ryma

In February, '22,
Winter Olympics in Beijing,
The dreams of young athletes come true
In skilled athletic competing.
Meanwhile the old powers that be
Take occasion to play their games,
Of scoring politically,
To strive to achieve selfish aims.
But the young athletes with their skill
Can show the world the better way,
To compete hard but in good will,
Lesson for old powers today.

Young Olympians, you are who
Old world powers should be like you.
