A Sporting Poetic Message Answering the Rings

It is time for communication decisions To be the true diplomatic missions A competitive artistic way to deal with rings interlocking Due to egotistical intentions wanting information blocking As they watch the wise grandfather clocking Veteran memories tick and tocking Every four years spend two weeks Staging sporting exhibitions innocent like a child’s smiling cheek Presenting these athletic events Replacing anger that spurred war time resent Seductive entertainment good for the soul Reminding the world about being bold When dealing with those deadly and cold Cast warriors script them to spill sweat and tears Observed by an audience enthusiastic with cheers Applauding having no fears Drafted professional participants in a game in which they are paid No longer bothering conducting a raid On the college students getting the grade Today an invisible competitor has been lured It is the diabolical health care monster control wanting the floor Challenging everyone; Is this what you want? Are you sure? Addressing the issue needing a cure That tested our patients unprepared and uninsured With a nasty flu rotten like an apple’s core And finally, it is time to show it the door Sending a message Hoping for a confession By putting on a display Symbolically it will say Stand together Fighting this emotional weather Lock those rings Stating to the leaders, Presidents, and Kings “We do not want combatting killing hate Controlling and conquering attitude thinking this action is great Instead interpret information to get it straight” Using this thought on a hook as bait Reeling in God we trust Into a situation where problems find themselves arrested in a bust Clearing the blurry lines turning them into dust And discovering kind humbleness is a must Light that cauldron with a flame Wishing those who have fame Shoulder to shoulder to others having no name Good luck to you all Answering this peaceful call
