Critics and cynics were condemned for their annoyance
but the world got to watch peaceful football
Families were broken, displaced, exiled
but the world got suspense
Billions of dollars were spent on abandoned cathedrals
but the world got national pride
Corruption was exposed
but the world came together to condone
Too many people were beaten and killed
but the world got to eat cake.
