All I'm saying is that,
Who only came to this realization after countless nights in the library,
Falling asleep between piles of books that probably equates to the same amount I spent on my rent,
And then after three years of mental suppression,
And frustration,
Now, I'm not saying that school is evil and there's nothing to gain,

Which caused it to travel towards the skies as though it was destined for the heavens,

And before the net of the goal,
Embraced the Fifa-Sponsored ball as though it was the prodigal son returning home,
And the country, that I live in, Erupted into cheers,
I looked at the play and thought,
Damn,
Looking at David Beckham,
