Omerta

you bring new meaning to picture perfect
perfectly made
crafted heavenly
by a divine hand
and therefore so out of reach

in 4 days
it will all end
finito

swing low sweet chariot
coming forth to carry me home

a sms from a friend
made me wonder
why winning
is so important to me
if we win
pure joy
thats natural
but the pain of loss
is ever present in my mind
cricket
badminton
rugby
debate
the crushing sensation of defeat
overwhelming
sigh

together standing tall
shoulder to shoulder
we'll answer the call

hearts of steel
vowing never to be broken
we will fight
till we can fight no more

i believe in the red blue and gold
i believe in the legacy of a 120 years
i believe in the flag that rallies a people
i believe in a team, not of 5, but of hundreds
i believe the best is yet to be

defeat used to come hard to me
but i understood
i had another chance
to fight
with friends
in more battles to come
one way or another
this is the end
the last battle
one last huzzah
for team c? possibly
for us in acsi? almost definitely
for acsi? never
i suppose
thats the thing isnt it
if we lose this friday
then i am comforted by the fact
that
acs will never stop fighting
never give up
beyond a point
where there is no age
ah
but these thoughts too far thinking
these thoughts too dependent on the future

Lord
teach me to submit to Your will
to give You thanks in times of joy
and in rejoicing remember my great benefactor
to find solace in Your completeness in times of sorrow
and in my tears
know that You are with me




my greatest enemy and my greatest love
