The ' WORLD CUP '
Let us stop ! Pause ! Consider for a minute ;
Think about it ! Meditate upon it .
' What is this cup that the world wants.'
Is it not a cup of Liberation :
When still uncle Sam watches.
Is it not a cup of freedom :
When over 200 girls are still missing.
Is it not a cup of plenty :
When we live under Favela.
Is it not a cup of milk and honey :
When still the youths are jobless.
Is it not a cup of Peace :
When Syria, Ukraine are still fighting .
O, it is the 'World Cup '
Where marketers Will profit .
Where condom sales will sky-rocket.
Where dreams will be broken ;promises shattered .
Where tears of defeat will be shed .
Where apostasy will be defended .
Where bets will be made; Match fixed
Where families will be broken .
Where morals will decay .
Where winners will win: Losers will loss.
O , It is the ' World Cup '
Think about it ! Meditate upon it .
' What is this cup that the world wants.'

Where families will be broken .
Where morals will decay .
Where winners will win: Losers will loss.
