| Otavio I. Zoom InA soccer ball,Lying on the street,
 Waiting for that skilled touch,
 That never comes.
 Walked past like a plastic bag…
 Meaningless.
 
 But look inside:
 
 Desperation,
 Relief,
 Disappointment,
 Pride,
 Anger,
 Joy,
 Failure,
 Glory.
 
 Look deeper:
 
 Football;
 
 A Language,
 A Refuge,
 A Sport,
 
 A road to Peace,
 A means of Interaction,
 A way to really Communicate…
 
 Most importantly,
 Worldwide.
 
 A Soccer Ball,
 Lying on the street,
 Quite Meaningful,
 Is it not?
