[veritas]

Ball
*
The fusion of competition and family
Failure and vanity
The best and worst of humanity
Parental projection or apathy
Easily measured success
Easily measured public failure…God bless
The reason a kid would stress
*
….
*
Strikeout and feel the despair of unmet expectations
Loves on timeout prepare for speeches and dedications
Kids try harder to win the game and love it
They learn skill makes their folks look good in public
Team work means don’t let the team down
Missed baskets making them all frown
The game is on the line kid, don’t be anything less than perfect
Some kids are naturals; they always win like they deserved it

Ball teaches many lessons to the young brain
How to be courageous and face your fear of pain
Cuz the ball hurts if it hits, and it hurts to miss
Some are naturally gifted, some ignorance is bliss
There is no I in team but some kids say “M and E”
Some coaches aren’t fair and favor their own “fam ill e”
The childs brain is always watching out into the bleachers
Watching the behavior of those whom are supposed to be the teachers
Daddy is yelling, daddy is cursing, daddy is frowning, where is dad?
Learn to practice, repetition brings mastering of an attitude that’s bad
Some pitchers aim for heads and call that* a srike
Some lineman aim for knees and necks and insist its their right
Some coaches praise this behavior, as long as the game is won
Some kids wonder “I thought this was supposed to be fun?”
*
….
All in all ball becomes a thorn in most kids sides
They lose imagination and heart trying to balance on thin lines
Those with natural talent become dependant on favoritism
Those with none get picked on and neglected or cheat for esteem’s wisdom
In closing, and this is what will really fuck your brain
Is that kids realize subconsciously a ball is always hooked to a chain

Good game good game good game good
