Relegation
Do I really want to turn on the TV
and see grown men reduced to tears?
It’s the morning after, but to the world
they are still singing defiantly.
My own head was in my hands last night
As I realised there are no miracles anymore.
Let us not put our faith in false idols and money,
but find heart and passion behind the badge
and those who wish to wear it proudly.
Loudly we will sing when we go visit
teams that time forgot, teams overlooked
by the media. And upwards this bird will fly
once more.
This is what I wrote the morning after we were relegated. Hope this is the appropriate place to post it. Sorry it took so long to post.
