The Contest
For you to appear very smart on demand,
we’ll ask you to show me the palm of your hand!
Fear not, our intention to bleed your hand dry,
today’s not the day for your kind to die!
Well make you this promise, our word is our bond,
the red hand is precious the same as our land!
Empty your pockets, with pride if you can,
if you show us your marbles well show you the man!
Don’t doubt for a second the force of our way,
The sweat on your palm , behold this, the day!
It’s back to the blackboard for you and your kin,
tomorrow dear brothers, the game it begins!
