Actually, if I were applying for this contest, I would've chosen this title to write about.. and the way The GodFather interpreted the title of Green Day's awesome song was epic. This piece is close to perfection.. It flowed so well with these vivid images and very nice idea.

Dreams die here between the holes,
kicked into submission by tears
dribbling from your eyes as you
drop to your knees the hundredth
time, eyes jerked from the goal

^ Definitely my favorite stanza. I can truly see this image right in front of me. It feels so alive and real! Very empowering stanza!
And of course, the end was great..
All in all, it was an awesome small piece, yet leaking with great thoughts..
