THE BALL DOESN’T SHOW THE DIRT  

DECLARED DIEGO MARADONA

WHO’S DIED A DEMI-GOD

ALSO ALWAYS AN URCHIN     

FOOTBALL WAS HIS FREEDOM    

FOOLING DEFENDERS LINED UP AGAINST HIM 

THAT’S HOW HE FOUND RELEASE    

THOUGH SQUAT TURNED TO FAT WHEN COCAINE TOOK POSSESSION     

UNTIL THAT TIME HE WAS HIS OWN HEROIN

AND A WONDER-DRUG TO THE PEOPLE OF ARGENTINA  

HIS FUNERAL RITES THEIR FINAL INJECTION             

WITH LOCKDOWN LENGTHENING INSTEAD OF LIFTING   

ENGLAND’S TIERS 

MEAN

TEARS OF FRUSTRATION  

THOUSANDS OF SMALL BUSINESS PEOPLE

WHO’D TRIED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES  

NEVER MIND IF THEY’VE TENDED TOWARDS SELF-CENTRED      

HOW MANY WILL BE MADE TO FEEL AS FOOLISH   

AS THE LOSING SIDE LEFT BEHIND BY MARADONA?    

NOW THEY’RE IN DIRE NEED   

OF THE HAND OF GOD 

WISHING WE CAN HANG ON 
TILL SPRING IS SPRUNG          
YOURS TRULY
