"No hard feelings friend" said the winning captain
"It was all in the heat of the game.
After all, we play to win"
Man to man marking, hard tackles
best of opponents tripped, injured
left gasping on the sidelines.
With the referee also on one's side
and a little bending or ignoring of rules
the win was comfortable
offside not called, free kicks galore to one side
ball allowed to be played
from outside boundary
The win has the crowd in ecstasy
even those who at start, cheered the other team
jo jeeta wohi sikandar!
(The one who wins is the king/Alexander)
Winning captain had a strong team
perhaps all this wasn't necessary
"It is all about winning friend"
nothing can be left to chance
victory it is, at any cost, any which way
fair play, rules of the game be damned!
