One name to unite it all

Five millennia in the making
A mere five minutes to learn
A lifetime to master
And an eternity to enjoy

Played by warriors
And princes and paupers
Perfected over generations
Truly a game for the masses

The power in the circle
The speed in the rectangle
The agility on the sand
Only the bold dare to venture

From the dust on clay
To the cushion on the mat
In defence there is unity
In offence there is courage

A game of many names and forms
One name to unite it all

KABADDI!
