Juicing the Game

Our pure game of
Baseball has been
Hybrid with enhancers
So that the superstars
Can mash homers
A few more yards
And pitchers
Can ultimately reach
100 mile per hour heat
To prevent those homers
It?s a cyclical battle
Between two
Different
But ultimately similar
Parts of the game

Sounds to me
Like the US government
One side
Trying to
Out-juice the other
With their campaigns
It?s a nanny-poo-poo
As to who has
The biggest bats
And who can hit
The political long ball
And who can woo
The wan public
Through financial
Muscle power

The fact is
The players
Are spending more time
Getting the best juice
Than
Hitting the homers
Or throwing fastballs
And every time
The subject
Of campaign juice
Is brought up
The ol? union
Squashes it
Scared of a
Preemptory political
Change in the game
That?s almost
Become a tradition

It?s time to find
The apostates
The real leaders
Not the hubris
Players of today
We fans
Have to take a step
Back
And say the longest balls
And the fastest balls
Always come with juice
And are ruining
Our game

But it is our game
It always was
Still is
And will be
Just don?t let
The players
Get away with this
Take the game back
So our kids
Can grow up
In a world
Where talent
Is more important
Than the amount of
Juice
You can put
In your muscles
Or
In your campaign
