Undefeated

Undefeated before the cheering crowds, colors of green,white and red... a flag that signifies glorious moments when the fear of losing conflicted with the joy of winning; it took a tremendous courage and an iron will to put up that fierce fight... frightened eyes invoking a living God who looked into the praying heart, to grant the wish to that silent voice! Undefeated by the opponent who committed an act of villainy... to justify his belligerence, but there's nothing like a long-waited victory... to hail a triumph with gallantry and revel at something that almost vanished! The merry-making voices of flag-waving fans... celebrating in crowded piazzas all over a jubilant Italy and other countries around the globe, resuscitated a sentiment so deep and mellow that was lost for twenty-four years... to spark, in their blood ,a flame of joy! Undefeated by predictions of malevolent -wishers who clung to pessimism to repress altruism; joyful eyes drenched in tears, there they proudly stand: the exultant champions... recognized by a stunnned world!!
