Lionel Messi of Argentina by Adejola Joseph.
A mystery on the pitch
Little shorty conjuring the magical moment
The ball on his foot is like a sticker on your car
Messi is a monster
If he takes the ball from the center field
He dribbles five without losing his posture
He dazzles you
He entertains you
The he shocks you!
Messi creates something out of nothing
The only hope in hopeless situation
Never beaten until the final whistle
Messi
The magical Messi!
Thanks the stars I exist in your time
I witnessed the modern era of great and interesting football.
Messi
The magical Messi!

I can see it in your.eyes
As they rest in silver spoons
I can see it in your smile
As the lamp where your face skin lies tautly stretched filters through the lips
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Nope cause the chainsaw drips with pieces I made of you and there bagged and leaning against the wall
Or is someone there with you
It’s okay I will be sending more your way
Hello
Not me you should be looking for
We say farewell to Lionel Blair
immaculate and debonair
who danced around the stage with flair
inspired by stars like Fred Astaire.

Horrendously explosive nimble ball juggler
Athletic and Ever-Attacking game shuffler
Maradona upgraded and improved version
Awesomely admiring soccer surgeon
Ruthless with the heart and strength of a Lion
Devours the opponent with the boot of an iron
Lionel Trains Owner
Neil Young
Musical influences are far flung.
No doubt that he is way out,
Even touring with a Lionel layout.
Lionel Messi
A man without mercy.
Whose ball hit the pole
of having score a goal.
