Another Olympic games for the wealthy only doesn't life seem so unfair <br />In the Athens Olympic Stadium there won't be many there <br />Who live on a low income or struggle to get by on welfare <br />And who should win the medals why should I even care? <br /> <br />In life only the so called losers are those that interest me <br />The people who to circumstance must live in poverty <br />They won't be at the Olympics for to cheer their heroes on <br />Or to sigh in disappointment with hopes of a medal gone. <br /> <br />The Olympics ought to be re-named as the Games of Nationalistic Pride <br />And Athens 04 the destination of millionaires Worldwide <br />Waving their National flags and banners their patriotism on display <br />And that money speaks all languages is very relevant to today. <br /> <br />Another Olympic games for the wealthy only in a World of so much poverty <br />Just a vulgar show of wealth and Nationalistic pride at the opening and closing ceremony <br />And the have nots must feel content for to watch it on the t v <br />And which Nation's athletes are the most successful such things won't be worrying me.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-olympic-games-for-the-wealthy-only/
