Enter Locking Up Viral Rings

An international battlefield was scheduled this year 
Postponed due to an invisible fear 
A misunderstood sensitive diplomatic situation 
Displaying theatrical health care patients 
Put off an artistic war 
Where the death toll is replaced by a game score 
As we interpret what really happened 
Hopefully continuing peaceful dialogue with Japan 
Remember when things were just all right 
Written prologue not aware of a global viral fight 
Qualifications had begun 
Being an athletic sample seemed entrepreneur and fun
But word got out 
Things were cancelled without any doubt 
Soon a decision was made 
Before educators were able to hand out final grades 
Dr. Godzilla put its foot down 
Destroying every sporting peaceful village, city and town 
Colorful rings will not be interlocking 
Timers stopped their clocking 
No one will be handled a medal 
Apparently this mass hysteria has its foot on the pedal 
For the first time 
There will be a mature odd number on the promotional line 
As a substitute representation 
Confirming the biological weapon war who is facing 
Based on resentment 
Challenging trusting encampment 
Is there a wide world message lurking around? 
Waiting for a sponsor to be picked up, discovered and found 
Planned right 
Olympics will light 
A torch real bright 
Translating the reminder killing does not solve the problem 
Of I got them 
Instead positive conversation is when 
To stop something before a wrong button is pressed send
