We Need A Maradona
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [We Need A Maradona]
We need a Maradona
A player with defensive tackle
Not one with over-polluted fresh air
We need a Maradona
Who will score for us a goal
Not one of disorientated exaggerations

We need a Maradona
A player that dribble without tribalism
Not one that red cards unity
We need a Maradona
A decisive player
To pass on solutions not pollution

Yes
We need a Maradona
Not a Karateka with a Katana
An idealogical probe
Leading a full team of 36 players

We Need a Maradona
Not of a Snake, nor a wolf
Offering with sheep handshake
For 20 15 wafts close
…Like barbecue sauce

We need Maradona
Whose strike won’t miss insecurity
Dribbling corruption with one move
One that will leave a footprint of unity
In our rocky field…

We need not the best player
But the worst in best form
