The Round Ball

The round ball

 I´m stunned
by the fanatics of football
One country is in deep mourning
the winning country is jubilant.
This sport has become big business
A battle of the boardroom. 
Buying and selling.
The Exploitation of the gullible.
The football is round.
However, wins one can be sure 
the public is the loser.
The round leather ball on a greenfield
has replaced our religions
I wonder what Yung would have made out of this?
