Lance Armstrong

Lance expects forgiveness now For coughing up the truth, Even though the clues were there For any paltry sleuth. Confessing all on Oprah’s show, He hopes to get on track, Believing that the sport would gladly Want to have him back. After years and years of lying, While his fans continued hoping, It’s a bit anti-climactic To admit that he was doping. A hero who has fallen Often stays down in the dust, For it’s hard to get your base back After you’ve betrayed their trust.

I really liked reading this one today. I love how you take current things in the news and write about them. You are also like a historian poet that way!

He had that air of invicibility behind that facade, now we are getting the truth. Very human with frailties. Good social commentary, thanks for sharing.
