Why didn't the star player play?
Many question's the decision of the coach.
Rumor circulated he was jealous.
Rumor circulated he was confused.
Some even spoke of the player breaking a rule.

After, the game they asked the coach.
But, he remained silent.
Or reflected the questions.

When they asked the star player.
Even, he didn't speak.
They just couldn't figure out.
Why play a player?
Who's obviously weak at the game?

Then, they started talking to the weak player.
Who have replaced the star?
He gave honors and gratitude to the star.
Who let him play in his place?

He stated, the star player.
Wants folks to remember.
It's just a game.

While some see winning.
As everything.
While friendship is built,
from the memories of the game.
