Enter Locking Up Viral Rings
An international battlefield was scheduled this year
Postponed due to an invisible fear
A misunderstood sensitive diplomatic situation
Displaying theatrical health care patients
Put off an artistic war
Where the death toll is replaced by a game score
As we interpret what really happened
Hopefully continuing peaceful dialogue with Japan
Remember when things were just all right
Written prologue not aware of a global viral fight
Qualifications had begun
Being an athletic sample seemed entrepreneur and fun
But word got out
Things were cancelled without any doubt
Soon a decision was made
Before educators were able to hand out final grades
Dr. Godzilla put its foot down
Destroying every sporting peaceful village, city and town
Colorful rings will not be interlocking
Timers stopped their clocking
No one will be handled a medal
Apparently this mass hysteria has its foot on the pedal
For the first time
There will be a mature odd number on the promotional line
As a substitute representation
Confirming the biological weapon war who is facing
Based on resentment
Challenging trusting encampment
Is there a wide world message lurking around?
Waiting for a sponsor to be picked up, discovered and found
Planned right
Olympics will light
A torch real bright
Translating the reminder killing does not solve the problem
Of I got them
Instead positive conversation is when
To stop something before a wrong button is pressed send
