Thiefa in the Night

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Free kick?
Take your pick.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 A toenail ball?
No, molecular atomic small,
All fall.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Like a rush of sand,
Thiefa heists the land.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 From head to toe and the ground beneath,
Every players’ feet,
Thiefa feasts on all,
Like beasts on meat.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 They turn tricks on a priceless, global institute,
Abusing their 20 billion dollar prostitute.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Derail this betrayal!

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 World’s fists clench with global muscles of might,
Powerless, for the silhouetted shadow that lurks is that thiefa in the night.

Notes

Inspired by fans’ anger at the Reuters news report: ‘FIFA said on Tuesday it plans to create a $20 billion subsidiary to run the World Cup and its other events and will offer stakes of up to ​20% in it to external investors.’
