A SONNET ON THE LEAGUE OF COMPROMISE:
Like people bereft of common sense,
Masses tune in with faces that are tense.
Wasting their time, squandering their sleep,
Some matches finish soon, whilst some are taken deep.
Some athletes compromise integrity for money,
While our Indian cricket fans trade their health for this baloney.
While the league per se wasn’t evil since inception,
It has become so due to over commercialization.
Monopoly of cricket especially the flourish,
Of this opulent league has left other sports with nothing to nourish.
Our Olympic medal tally is proof enough,
That we don’t invest in other sports enough.
From what should have just been a relaxation,
The Indian Premier League has become a vexation.
