THE MORNING AFTER

by ANDREW NEIL - Not entered

Heads bowed down,shoulders round
the cameras roll,the judgements sound
this mighty army now dispersed
from foreign streets that took our worst

As one we fought,united in flag
now on the plane the buzz will sag
this mighty firm of world renown
now splintered by suburban town

No room for shame the pride too great
battles past we emulate
perhaps in vain,the views not shared
those not there of guilt are scared

Soon back to work as Mr Hyde
targets to reach,as Jekyll subsides
until next time when again we'll all
rampage again and oh-football. 

Reason for writing:

    You may only really understand this poem if you are an English football (soccer) fan;it is a third party perspective,based on my experiences from travelling around the world with 'Engerlaaaand  Engerlaaand Engerlaaand!'
