The Voice

I'm wet. In the sun’s heat, rain & urine stunk. 
Suit, socks & tie ruined, so was I. 

The game ended in the early hours.
 That time, had had its thrills but now,
 
Pockets empty, my mind now active,
 Recriminations re- surfaced. 

Who was ‘’Beating me up’’?
 Who could I blame? 
 What would ‘’They’’ say?
 What could I say?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
