Just One World Football Tournament

Children on a spree

The children kickPlastic bottlesAs though they were the bestFootballs in the world.

The children kick mouldy cucumbers, screwed up balls of paperAnd orangesAs though they were the bestFootballs in the world.

The children make a goalAs though it was the very bestAnd most beautiful in the world.

They dribble through lifeBruise their feetRun and attackNo-one holds them back.

Their life is a dreamThe dream to be one of life’s goal-scorers.The daily dreamTo be a survivor.
