OLYMPIC GAMES
In ancient Greece
the athlete was admired
statues raised in his honor
Olympic games every four years
the basis for the whole Greek calendar
Modern Olympics forget the Greek Ideal
of sound mind in sound body
Forget the many statues of the wise
Forget that Olympic games contained
display and competition
in poetry, in music, and in drama
In the modern Olympics every four years
a new sport is voted in
I vote to add the balance back
