one


One

American football
Japan
Love and peace

One,

The fields,
Long,
The fields wide,
Those white lines,
Spread across it,
They are not barriers,
They are goals,
Wars are fought,
Wars are lost,
Wars are won,
Over those tiny white lines,
Helmets
Are needed,
Pads are wrapped,
Muscle,
Is the force,
That hides below,
Strength,
Ripples though,
Bodies clash,
Men clamber,
That small ball,
Tossed up high,
That back,
Running,
Ducking,
Diving,
Catching,
It,
A few yards to spare,
The clock,
Counts down,
That ball,
Bounces down,
A cheer,
Swollen to a roar,
The helmets,
Retreat back,
To that defensive line,
Waiting,
To rush,
To kill,
To destroy,
To score,
Another point.

Toyota,
Susuki,
Mitsubishi,
Sony,
Toshiba
Are friends of his,
Comforting his feet,
Soothing his ears,
Playing with his fingers,
Growing a seed,
That starts from his guts,
Sprouting from his mouth,
Springing from his ears,
His eyes,
Rain down,
Helping it grow,
Yesterday,
Is history,
Tomorrow is that mystery,
Pride,
Is something worth living,
That red sun,
Amongst it white sky,
Stands alone,
It’s subjects,
Looking up,
Admiring,
Beautifying,
The present.

His heart,
Is something that knows how to spell,
His mind,
Is something that knows how to give,
His body,
Is something to show,
How to be,
How to care,
How to lead
That life,
That is living,
His heart,
Spells it,
Where ever he goes,
Who ever he meets,
His heart,
Spells it,
No matter,
What the time,
No matter,
What the place,
No matter what the circumstance,
His mind shares,
It to the earth,
To the world,
To the people,
The message is clear,
It’s what he believes,
Make love,
Make peace,
Not war,
Share,
And give,
After all,
We are all one,
And one is for all.
