I

wouldn’t be surprised

by anything at all

in this world, its plunder

of the depths of barbaric

and turning it into light entertainment,

I imagine them bringing

stoning back as a way of life

if the audiences could be found

and sponsors chomping

at the bit to bring

all the latest technology

to the event and a championship table

being shown on the news every

half hour as the latest twists and turn

and insightful ramblings of a manager’s

team are played out

to all who subscribe and pay

for the privilege;

the barbarity is there,

it just requires

the studio to bring

it to life…
