This Starts Now
They stand united together
These 15 men have come from the whole world,
From the frozen provinces of Canada, to the breathtaking nature of Cameroon,
From the scenic towers of Turkey to the beautiful beaches of Spain,
From the bluegrass of Kentucky, to the scorching sands of Arizona.
They have all arrived at the rough, tough city of brotherly love to sport the red, white, and blue,
All descending from different backgrounds, but with the same goal in mind
Victory
Times have been trying for the blue collar megalopolis
Their leader of 3 years is now gone
“He died for our sins” they all say
Their luck has been atrocious, as their new leader,
The so-called “chosen one”
Has sustained a dreadful injury which has sent shockwaves throughout the entire city
Nothing has gone their way,
Yet they still have hope
This hand picked team must prove the doubters wrong
They must prove that the last few hideous years are behind them,
That it was worth it
So they stand together
As a team they will take on all challengers
And they will fight for their right at the promised land.
This starts now

This piece is about the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team. My favorite sports team is the 76ers so I decided to write this poem for my English assignment.
