Cataclysmic events
Have shaken my foundation.
Cheated I stand
Taxed and axed.
Lecherous men
Have snatched my ambience.
No more
I am a gentleman's game
Betting is my new name.
Each one plays me
For personal gain.
Turning the table
Switching my label.
Greed rules in my pavilion
Pitching and laundering
All that I had gained.
Perplexed yet I wait
For the magic wand
Clamoring to restore
My name, 'Cricket'.
