Ball or Life
2 teams, one wins one loses.
2 coaches keeping there players from being clueless.
The team that wins celebrates, while the team that loses argues.
What do they argue about?
They argue about who to blame for their failure.
But who can you blame in a team sport?
The team that celebrates, well they celebrate a victory.
A victory that is truly obsolete.
The victory shows strength for a period of time.
Or maybe a weakness in the losing team.
It could be possible that is was the winning team's day.
But truly this sport we call Basketball truly mimics life.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
The 2 coaches are mentors.
Those with the best coaches, succeed the most.
While referees act as the law.
But Basketball is a game of momentum
Dunks drive crowds wild.
Game winners make legends.
But before you win the game, you look to your coach
He tells you to take the shot.
Make or miss, you have the confidence to take the shot.
As you release the shot, you have no worries or doubts.
The shot goes in and you win the game.
You feel invincible
If you would have missed the shot.
Failure would have emerged to control your life.
But can you tell me this?
Is this Basketball or Life?
