WORLD CUP 2010


Ghana

hands rise in despair
praying; divine cross bars goal
why must god take sides


Diego Maradona
hop skip little jump
the ball is now out of bounds
god has been sidelined


Brazil
gods play with mortals
stamp of class, clockwork orange
zeus is thunderstruck


Germany
youth take wings soar high
redgold hunter passes nets
paul cephalogod

The Final
orange yellow dead
twilight, one more red flicker
gods in rainbow land

Unusual read. (Thanks to Raji for the link) Heart goes out to Ghana - the future World champions.
(Aside - did you get to see this cartoon by Surendra?
