CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

It's wrong to play games against teams That are products of racist regimes, But this rule in the eyes of the picket Applies only to running and cricket.

If it's always so-wicked to kill Why does nobody mention Brazil—

Denounce as a crying disgrace That the World Cup should ever take place?

Brazilians may kill with the best, But nobody seems to protest, And, when they play football, no word Or critical murmur is heard.

Not even preposterous Hain Finds in that any cause to complain.

Cannot anyone give me the clue?

Cannot FasCists be footballers, too?
