The Absence of Salah

Title: The Absence of Salah

As the African Cup commences its reign,
Salah’s departure causes Liverpool pain.
A void, profound, engulfs the Reds’ play,
His magic gone, they yearn for his sway.

With skill unmatched, he weaves his way,
Leaving defenders in disarray.
A maestro on the field, a force untamed,
Without his brilliance, Liverpool is maimed.

Goals and assists, his trademark flair,
A pivotal player, beyond compare.
But in Egypt’s colors, he’s called to fight,
Leaving Liverpool in a weakened plight.

The pitch now seems barren, dimly lit,
Without Salah’s presence, we all admit.
The void he leaves, a challenge immense,
A puzzle unsolved, a consequence.

Yet, hope remains, as the team unite,
Their collective spirit, a shining light.
They’ll face the test, they’ll strive and fight,
To fill the void, reclaim their might.
