Copla Cincuenta This Bad Guy World
COPLA CINCUENTA: This Bad Guy World
Favela children see no World Cup
Their dire distress kept under lid:
Sick bodies sour
Watch the kicked ball in a toss up
Fun wars to buttress countries’ bid:
Pecking order
Hearts jump up or sink with each goal
He who works the plot sets the trap:
Hold high the beam
The more the “gods” the less the Soul
Hold high the country lest it flop:
Hollow esteem
