In the heart of Hong Kong, a footballing tale,
Where fans cheered loud and booed the prevailing gale,
The national anthem, a source of strife,
Voicing frustrations, defining a life.

Security tightened, banners seized,
Fifa fines looming, freedoms squeezed,
Hong Kong's identity, a delicate dance,
Caught between China's powerful stance.

With CSL's rise, tensions grew,
World-famous players, clubs anew,
Amidst the chaos, Hong Kong stood strong,
A symbol of resistance, singing its own song.

Yet the dilemma persists, a game of power,
Where football meets politics, hour by hour,
In the streets of Hong Kong, the dragon crest gleams,
A nation divided, caught in two extremes.
