I'Ve Heard Enough Talk

I've heard enough talk about football though many others have said as much before Yesterday's game replayed today though one can say we do know the score 'Twould seem to me sport's a diversion from our life problems of day to day But if that is what makes some people happy then to say the least that seems okay. I've heard enough talk about cricket one might say far more than enough In this twenty first century of glorified sports stars so many are doing it tough Some thirty million refugees in refugee camps of their stories too few wish to hear The victims of war, drought and famine they know about suffering and fear. I've heard enough talk about golf and tennis far more than I've wished for to hear The top players over celebrated they grow financially wealthier by millions each year When thousands are homeless and hungry for every proclaimed millionaire So many are doing it so hard in the bigger World out there. I've heard enough talk of millionaire soccer players enough people them do celebrate They don't have me to thank for their millions and their egos I do not inflate 'Twould seem to me sport is a diversion from the sadness of the World we live in Where so many are destined to lose out for the few born lucky to win.
