King of Napoli Part 2

KING OF NAPOLI (PT. 2) Bright Altar of the bloodless sacrifice, sweatless stains drenched your jerseys. Which armoury delivers this season's Scudetto? It's the masked number 9 that emerges our hero! And summoned the spirit of deep emotion, from the unknown graves of dwindled passion, where victory was long gone and finally over. The aura of late king Diego Armando Maradona Saturate the entire stadia like the scent of confetti. Night falls on the celebration in the great city,¹° Shadowy clouds darkened o’er the helm of Naples, Wind swaying the trees, branches & vegetables... The firmament yawned; heaven stript bare, the spirit of Maradona hovers & fills the air. The Mountains heard the voicing earthquakes, travelling through those top towers. Thunderous voices at the metropolitan rattled roofless halls of fame of our foreign sultan, where the portraits, statues & banners of Deigo Stood high & mighty like the great Armando.²° The whole of Italy & Earth woke out of their slumber; A blaze of light between two heavens sets asunder; The first hero of Napolitans bears down on the new king Osimhen, & wears him the crown. All hail the King of Napoli.????² Vick Manuel Poetry {VMP} Form: Rhymes Copyright ©? May 2023.
