Tug of war
What a beautiful game
with a horrid name
tug of war
we see here
winners fall first
flat on the ground
losing their balance
heaven bless them
everyone upon each other
borders, sides disappear
A tug of peace if it were to
be renamed
it would alas miss
the buzz of entertainment
Combat sports
players hitting each other
bleeding to death
the audience applauding
a nail-biting finish
the crowd’s out of breath
…
flashback
the slave fighting the beast
high-strung spectators
watching Spartacus
entertain us, kill or die
to say the least
Wow! There seem to be many hidden messages within those lines. Are you praising the game or teasing the stupidity of all battles?
