OLYMPIC NIGHTMARE: the little girl

The little Chinese girl was told
Her voice is like Olympic gold.
Her face though didn't match her sound;
And so a pretty girl was found
To mouth the words the other sings,
Debasing her Olympic rings.
The billions spent, the metals won
Will vanish with the setting sun.
But we'll remember it was wrong
Denying that young girl her song
Because she failed to pass their test
To be more pretty than the rest.

Ah, yes, but it is the wrongdoer that has really lost the gold.
So, for whom do we pray?

For humanity. We have created an existence in which there is gold to win and because of it we are all losing. Doug.E.Barr
