Life lost in a game

Is this the way to play?

By Ekta K. Kalra Published 2 years ago 1 min read

you cannot even mention

it again

on the name of sports

they die

sports was for fun

the logic no more applies

there is tragedy in watching sports

your sports star is a human

and can die

in the play

oh! What a sin

is sports again

you cannot mention it loud

refrain

sports that was for fun

can take your life away

is this the way to play?

is this the way to play?

my goodness

sports can take

your life again

what you win

by giving your life

in sports game

is such a small prize

a little pride

and life at stake

is this the way to play

is this the way to play

government is sleeping

at it’s desk again

is this the right way

to play?

I ask you?

answer me on

these games

hey answer me

for india lost a

youth again

somewhere

in some place

you will never hear him again

is this the right way to play?

that you lose your country’s youths

to death

on sports name

is this the way to play?
