Different Scenes, Different Games Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

'Amazing scenes! ', ladies reported.
Parents and their kids have confirmed
While telling London reporters
Proudly sharing their adventures.

Those kids' eyes shone with joy
Some were talkative others were coy
Soaking up the atmosphere
They cheerfully highlighted:
'The Queen was here! '

They're happy for having been taught
The true spirit of the Games-
Hard work, common efforts, fraternity
Hopefully cherished until eternity.

Oh, we wished all kids in the world
Would stay joyful and peaceful
Rather than ignored or killed
In abhorrent scenes and war games disgraceful!
