Football

It’s called our national game.

But perhaps it should be

Our national disgrace.

We watch in horror

The pictures on T.V.

Of maniacal fans

Tearing Dublin apart

And those fans from Millwall

Marauding across the pitch.

It’s not just the fans that go astray

But, the players, the heroes

For so many young and old alike.

Eric Cantona’s kung fu

In front of children too.

Vinny Jones thriving in violence.

Sport or not

It just shows how much

Societies are crumbling.

18^th February 1995, Uxbridge, England.
