Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
Men and women who bind the world in bond,
With their sweats the soul of the world is sweetened,
Never should any of the them be loved less.
Gasping for breath yet they keep running,
Trying to entice the noisy crowd,
Enduring booing and jeering from every corners,
Yet they keep on pressing hard while their heart is fainting.
We gather together to watch these fellows,
Our colours, races and tribes are never count,
Just for the sacrifice of these selfless athletes,
Our depression finds no place our minds are free.
We watch them and our sorrows are dispelled,
Little do we wander that they also have bad times,
We reviled them most times for not meeting our expectations.
Oh how we can reason that this one’s are not machines,
In their toilings we criticize them so badly,
With tears they leave the pitch in regret,
Never did we comfort them via the media.
Some of them even died of depression,
To all athletes I blow measureless love,
Our hearts are pleased even when your performance is low,
We are aware that your challenges too are hideous,
That is my reason for chanting your accolades on world street,
You are our pride, our joy and our enthusiasm,
We can’t imagine a world without you guys.
To the athletes that died in action I write,
Though your souls be gone yet your legacies live on,
We will always remember your sacrifice till your last breath,
Your measureless effort is crested on our minds.
I respect every athletes both the living and the dead,
In the snow, in the rain, in the hot sun, you don’t quit pleasing our minds,
We love you back in a greater measure,
Let the world show her unreserved gratitude to all our priceless athletes.
Wow! Yes all athletes deserve respect no doubt, but some impress us more.

I enjoy watching Athletes perform the tedious tasks over and over again. I love witnessing the graceful actions with unprecedented speed. accomplishing their short term goals. They execute at a level that seems beyond earthly. Yes pause and take note that it’s entertainment just like a play, , They are the actors playing a role. The end can be unpredictable and that leads to fhe clinax. Yes indeed, enjoy the performance. It’s used as an escape away from real life if only for a moment. Thanks to all the athletes around the world and hope one day they bring prace , love, unity to all mankind.
