A Rivalry’s Toxic Flame

Title: A Rivalry’s Toxic Flame

In Wearside’s realm, a soul undone,
A tale of bitter foes shall be spun.
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, burdened by pain,
As vile hatred engulfs yet again.

A clash of cities, strikers’ plight,
Entwined in history’s cruel delight.
Newcastle issue, a venomous sting,
Inflicted wounds that festeringly cling.

Across the Tyne, fierce rivalry spreads,
In streets, in hearts, where courage has bled.
Disgust claimed his spirit, sorrow weighed,
As Sunderland’s pride forever frayed.

Yet, amidst this darkness, a light remains,
A unity forged by loyal strains.
Supporters raging, but love shall preside,
Binding lifelines, forever entwined.

In wounds that fester, hearts may sever,
But passion’s flame shall burn on forever.
For Derby’s pursuit, dreams will reclaim,
Redemption, revival, Sunderland’s aim.
