Quick thinking analytic condemnor - attack/defence

There’s an aborted child at the gate in heaven;
WHO AM I
He’s just been murdered because the woman and government has the RIGHT
Now…

Planetary conjunction, behold catastrophe, o’ trembling earthquake
Afore thy outbreak, for terror has struck – omens of bad luck

Target for use by the Cruelly Ill-Used
Morally targetting  his torturers,
Nobly tending a body and mind bruised
By the meanest sadistic adventurers.

A passionate star striker-heightening my tears to happiness

with a can of gas,
a box of matches & a

hot and ready for a good game

As the bread winner had answered to the doomed call-
The compulsory striker had kicked to his goal post.

Age and a footballer

A lot I hold against Age:
It can the cheapest goals wedge,
The fortyish striker make a tired leg;
Final whistle of a match quick to beg,
The referee not afraid to bluff
