Bloodsport (inspired by the attacks on Sri Lankan cricketers in Pakistan and by Jai's latest blogpost on www.zaiu.wordpress.com)

Blood spills down the arm
That most men wished they had
And the scream he lets out is
Chillingly similar to shouts after a victory.

The whole world watches
As a gentleman's sport oozes blood
The field becomes a battlefield
With the spirit of sport at the losing end.

The wars of religion have scarred
The one religion left to be affected
A passion hurt, excitement shot in the head
We now live in fear of playing a game.

The warning's out; the time has come
The ball is in our court; our pitch...
Stand up - we have to drive the point home
You made a mistake by messing with OUR sport...
