The One Spirit

To the spirit of FIFA 2010.

 
"Give me freedom,
Give me fire,
Give me reason,
Take me higher... "
             --- K'Naan

Limbs of iron,

Hammers of flesh,

Claws of lion… claws of steel

Eyes of a hawk;

Penetrate, twist even the strongest of hearts.

On the battle field:

The desires… wishes… eyes…

Converge only at the destination mark.

Hopes of carving milestones

Which would be histories… legends… myths…

While waiting for the event to begin,

Feeling the touch of the field.

Eyes closed in a silent prayer;

That flies heavenward on little wings.

Let it begin…

Course of time can lead to anything,

Possibilities are variable,

Everything will be over,

In some fractions of moment,

May be hours… may be minutes.

Victories and losses;

Smiles and tears;

Defeats and hopes;

With all these thoughts and feelings

All rise to one spirit…

Spirit, that converges all human beings,

Entangles all joys and emotions

Under one sky… above one earth

Spirit that…

Celebrates humanity.
