What Mattered Most

 

I wrote nothing of the footy on the pitch.
I wrote about the greed and the filthy rich.
On the pitch upsets, meant nothing to me.
I wrote about the spineless and liars to see.

Not a word I wrote about Messi and co.
I only cared about the corruption on show.
I didn't write about the near misses or goals.
I had my say about the hidden death tolls.

I had nothing to say about Ronaldo's tears.
I wrote about rainbows, and why the fears.
I wrote nothing about England or Harry Kane.
Nothing of France or how close they came.

I wrote about oppression, of human rights.
As they where the only things in my sights.
For me, I wrote about what mattered most.
My hatred for that tournament.. and its host.

 

(I fully respect and understand all opinions and thoughts on this touchy subject matter x)

A thoroughly decent viewpoint, Mike. I feel slightly ashamed that I watched the final, as so many of us did.

Oh, the hypocrisy in high places!
And the hypocrisy in low places-
in the lowest of the low, in the muck-raking, click-baiting, gutter-sniping press / media.

Over recent years, concerning a variety of matters, I have increasingly come to use the expression:
"Follow the money".😡
