Sports extravaganza restricted to subdued level
Heart goes out to participants straining to excel
Culture of sports and love for them taken wings
Spreading across all continents in Olympic rings

Found many variants of games for classes
Powerful ruling elite to struggling masses
Rules for such games evolved and self created
Doubters and opponents steadily decimated

Jousting with dead is favourite sport of our ruling class
On high horse, impale hapless souls for sins en mass
Manipulating history cannot be substitute or panacea
To cover up own failures and induce collective amnesia

Bureaucracy loves wrestling with problem no resolution
Going around in circles with meetings, find no solutions
Bloated Sumo like organizations with no accountability
Always focused on power, growth and upward mobility

Swimming against tide for us is game of survival
Head barely above water, praying fortune revival
Indomitable spirit and tenacity keeping us afloat
Never letting any adversity to conquer and gloat

True champions display spirit and humility
Enhance and boost their talent and nobility
Be a champion and play as if no tomorrow
Ephemeral effervescent are joys and sorrow
