If the world was a parking lot...


I'm sipping tea looking out of the 8th floor window,
I can see a group of boys playing football in the parking lot, down below.
Dressed in sports shoes and shorts 
and red, blue and yellow tees,
they're from different countries, different nationalities.
They're carefree, not worried about race, colour or religion,
a football has bound them and brought about this unification.

Imagine, if the world was a gigantic parking lot where people played football,
there wouldn't be any global issues, no fights, no wars at all.
Everyone would run after the football,to score a winning goal
from Eskimos to Africans, from north to south pole.

Red or yellow cards would be given if rules were not followed or disobeyed,
penalty kicks would be the bonus, 
if issues were solved in a day.
There'd be no barriers, no walls, no boundaries,
just football teams or clubs, 
with names of different countries.

Imagine if the world was a parking lot and people played football all day,
dribbling, kicking and head butting a ball
where each one got a fixed stipend or pay.
There'd be no poverty, no hunger, no inequality,
no discrimination of gender or race.
Everyone would help each other,
the world would be one happy, peaceful, perfect place.
