Poetic Verses
Our Cricket
A question so burning and seems not to have an answer in this era
So taxing and perhaps now can be in the classic role of an enigma
Because no one seem to be able to find out what is happening to West Indies cricket
Its level of play has been so bad that it has to improve to be considered under the carpet
There was a time when it was the leader the champion the trend setter
The team which other prefer to play as their presence swell those coffers
Now it is the one whom they have to play as the regulation has dictate
Since they have to satisfy those regulations that the ICC initiate
But how come a team which had strode the cricketing world like a colossus
Who exploits have brought the feeling of pride the swollen all of us
Now has been over time reduced to be even less that a Lilliputian
And are now being towered over by some of the recent cricketing nation
It is so hard to find out what has been responsible for this problem
Some may say it is the training which reflect in the performance of them
Many could say that it is the benign doing of those boardroom politics
But one can see how things were done and also too its effects
Comparing those members of the teams now and of those ago
What was it the game them that impetus that made the win so
They so relentlessly will reduce the opponent within the prescribed to just a whimper
The current teams make the opponent eyes open in glee as there is another winner
I often say I am a West Indian and now to be specific a very proud Barbadian
And this game is what I was raised on so it is like my culture my religion
Once I started work at Medical institution and the director was a Scotsman
I heard someone was looking for me wanting to talk to this person who is a Barbadian
So without hesitation took the break to see and talk with the person
And being new to the place it would be nice to have at least a conversation
Then after the meeting and the formalities then this came for his lips
How do you like the West Indies team getting beaten at cricket, those licks?
Yes I was angry but it is true, fellows we too feel the disappointment and the pain
Get yourself to that standard and that body fitness and muscular strength maintain
You have the strength dig deep into that mental tower and find that glorious hour
So that like the Phoenix our team will rise stand tall once again on that supreme cricket power
So taxing and perhaps now can be in the classic role of an enigma
Because no one seem to be able to find out what is happening to West Indies cricket
