Eternal Red Card

You had one glaring chance But only to take an early shower When you became the pitch rascal And sent off for a poor tackle Your opponent went down hard It wasn't a deliberate challenge You were down and dejected In despair, shocked and ejected You didn't play to the rules You grazed a player in the box Who faked and dived at a crucial moment Making you run to head-butt an opponent You’d to feel the rough edges of things This habit has gone on far too long Never abided by life's game of chance A victim of life circumstance I saw your coach by the touchline Cheering and clapping for you Praying like He always did You weren't really a dirty kid He always gave you another chance Yet you didn't play to His rules So when you arrived at heaven's yard You were shown the Eternal Red Card
