Control

Control

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

invites rebellion

"
Activities employing less control
are democracy at its best
Giving more freedom to everyone
in every meeting and contest
 
The sporting world is in the lead
individuals win more games
It is due to the way they play
and not about their names
 
Names exercise more control
due to the weakness of our choice
It shouldn't be who we are
it should be the truth of our voice
 
When a contest isn't fixed
the winner gets more respect
The honor goes to the best
no actions are suspect
 
Winners are more admired
by complimenting the losers game
Everyone should get a share
but not everyone the same
 
The results in golf and tennis
are the purest in sport
By stroking the ball in the hole
or hitting it in the court
 
No one else is in control
making these games more fair
Even the observers of the games
listen and watch with more care
 
Real democracy doesn't penalize
those who don't play as well
When everyone can be a winner
no one needs to rebel
