All in the Game
By Laxmi Krishna
When urchins play
by the side street,
with passers by to watch,
No referee, no tickets,
only pleasurable moments,
no blame game ,
not mercenary,
sprinting away
as a cop yells;
Unlike celebrities perspiring
a football match,
screaming a goal,
A raucous crowd,
the disabled ignored,
Commercials all around
the trend in vogue still.
