Universal love
Universal love
How to explain( I wrote "explain" seven times
before I got the spelling right)
my nephew, who lives in Spain but not in Valencia
where the storm occurred, played golf
A turbulent of Swedes secure of theIr long spell
democracy against an insecure Norwegian team
The Swedes won, but my nephew got a medal
made of bronze
later in the day, it struck me that should the game
have been played during the devastating new
It was explained to me the tournament had been
booked beforehand
Should they have postponed the game to honor
the victim; they tell me life has to go on and
remembering is a waste of time, but I think not
When the golf players' time can and will they
recall when a game of golf was more important
than spending time mourning the dead
When I wrote the above lines, I was drunk that
proves my inner self is more caring
than the mien of tough exterior, I present to avoid
the hurt and soft heart represent
