The Lost Game that I Played

Great! I was selected in the football team
By fifteen coaches who ate Bajies and Jilabies.
The fee to participate in the game
was two hundred sovereigns, very cheap!!!
I was kicked out from my house to another,
Later I realized
I wasn't the player but the ball itself.
Free kicks from my man,
Penalty shots from my in-laws...
I was playing offside game.
No amount of yellow or red cards could save me,
For the referee himself enjoyed the game.
I was kicked with spikes,
They hurt me with all their might;
Lovingly I reached for the net for a hundredth time,
The goal keeper said...
You can't fit until I close my eye.

But when the game was won
I lay alone in the court
Tangled in the net waiting for my death.
