Adios Beijing...

Phelps: What a great show!!!
You did what no man has done before.
And Bolt you pushed beyond human limit,
An inspiration for every flagging spirit.

Yelena your poise
Did it once again;
Maarten - the grueling cancer
Didn’t stop you from conquering the marathon swim
Fighting all odds and enduring pain.

From swimming to basketball
And gymnastics, athletics to football
The games were a treat
I hope, it brings the world closer
The reason for which we meet

Georgia-Russia-guns may be used in your backyard
For a different cause
But on the podium (air-pistol win), the hug and kiss
Confirmed that life is much more than petty wars.

Kudos to China
For hosting the games
Ramping their infrastructure
And gaining world fame

Twenty four years of exile
Has done wonders to your game,
All your perseverance and guile
Has put the US to shame.

Beijing - Its time to say good-bye
Admist global uncertainty,
Hoping at London
World prosperity and serenity!!!
