They came from the pits and puddles the ends of the Earth
Allured into the amazing, the lauded tutoring Spirit
bring to separated and segregated World
the cream, bread and butter of human excellence,
Singing canaries, the flock, the birds of same feathers
Loud and clear the wire proclaiming, to the ear-poles
the human advertising union billboard in stencil
The laudable, the affirmative, breezing into tempo
The class, the guru in the polished body,
in the charged clamorous pain, the self-mortifying endurance 
in the United Spirit of “The Olympics”
They proclaimed the human yearning for unity-
They come honoring the “Only Confederacy”, of the Human-Unity”,
 Born, of the United Spirit of The Olympics/.

Likeness of solid diamond configured Nation,
The many faces and reflections,
citizens dared to stun the World of Man
In the Spirit of the Olympic Nationalism,
behold the spectacles of the Spectacular
the mammoth assemblage of ceremonies
in the excellencies of pageantry; the colorful spirit,
of colossal contents and contests
Yet no blood shed or spilled
only the sweat of excellence drops to
 joyous feat of entertainment/.
Man attended to the Confederate Spirit
that no boundary bound from the East to the West
No boundary bound from South to North.

In cognition we see the Spirit,
the unbounded soul of excellence
that speaks to men and women to seek its bounds
The Spirit, when found, castigates sleazy- foot and mediocrity
driving men and women to prominence against all odds
The Spirit that spirits out the “man”
in humans against all the odds
The Spirit that woes all nations
and convicts them all, against all the odds

Some call it the “Spirit of Victorious Brilliance”
that tends to excellence against all the odds
Some call it the “Driving Spirit Meritocracy” that brings to perfection
the excellence in man against all the odds
That Spirit we know, when kindled,
has no other soul but to drive men to excellence against all the odds
The Name is beautiful and proper~ The Spirit of The Olympics; “The Olympic Spirit”.

What earthling breathes the free air of the Earth,
that cherishes not the “Good” in “The Olympic Spirit”?
Where gladiator's axe draws but streams of sweat
In the happy battle the bloodless finish at pendant of gold
What earthling breathes the free air of the Earth,
that bows not to the “Unifying Spirit of The Olympic Spirit”?
Where the swordsman expertise whistles through the air;
the knights of Olympics entertain with might and power;
as the javelin’s flight is but measures and gravity pegs.   
O! Blinded phobia to goodness, the cleric priesthood of evil
To see not, the spirit that scale the bars of isolation
to make known the unknown
The Spirit that soar over heights,
clearing boundaries to bring man
into the Union of Human Family

O! How dead is the soul?
that sees not the wanders of wonderment of the Olympic Spirit
What a soul so dead that beholds and not engage
the ecstasies of excitement in the Olympic Spirit
O! Lonesome dead that missed the luster, the shine,
of the Souls enlivened in the spectacles of the spectacular
in the fields, the shrines of Olympic Spirit
O! What an error of man, the objectifying gnat, a twig,
The grasshopper brain, an identity negetron of man;
voided of spirit of human oneness
in the unifying, spirit ~ “The Olympic Spirit”. 

Be merry and gay,
you humans of humanity
you that tend to the Spirit of Humanity
You that hear the cry “Help” heard in the “The Olympic Spirit”
Be you joyously joyful, you angels of humanity
you that attend to the Unity of Union call
The call upon man, for the humanity in “The Olympics Spirit”
Be grateful you that have been enabled to prominence
And to nobility in the Excellence of The Olympic Spirit”
Say You All with and in one accord;
Hip-hip Hurrah and Bravo, Bravo!

Bravo! To you the Society of Human Family; Bravo!.
