This is an Ode about Brazil. She is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries (line 1). It is the largest country in South America (line 3) and the only one in the continent speaking Portuguese (line 4). Brazil comes from the Tree “Brazilwood” (line 5) and shares borders with all South American countries except for Chile and Ecuador (line 6). Brazil covers 3 time zones (line 7) with the Amazon River the 2nd longest after the Nile (line 8). The “Angel of Death” a popular Nazi-Josef Mengele known for his cruel experiments and fascination with twins fled to Brazil (line 12). Brazil is a world renowned footballing Nation (line 13). In Sao Paulo, a congestion record was set on November 15, 2013 with a total of 309 Kilometers (192 miles) of queues around the city during the evening rush hour (line 16).There are at least 70 uncontacted tribes in the Brazilian Amazon (line 11). Salvador is the biggest African city outside Africa (line 19). The country’s motto is “Ordem e progresso” meaning “Order and progress” (line 20). Brasilia, the country’s capital, took just 41 months to build and looks like an Aero plane from above (line 22). Rio de Janeiro was once Portugal’s capital (line 23). Brazil is the 5th largest in the world both in land mass and population (line 24).
She carries one of the heaviest pregnancies in the world
with more species of monkeys than any other region.
She stands huge in her territory
with a unique speech different from all others in the same domain.
Her name specially recognizes a Tree.
She directly interacts with all other tenants except two distant ones.
She’s timely scaled into three different parts
possessing water course which is the immediate younger brother to the Nile.
She’s home to the Armadillo, Tapirs, Jaguars and Pumas
and so fertile to accommodate the most dense amount of living hairs
which has secluded more than seventy groups of humans to civilization.
Her armpit once covered the Nazi’s angel of death
and her street lights shine the brightest rays of football.
In her very rich possession;
is an island with about five snakes per square mile;
is the world’s best beach in Baia do Sancho;
is the accumulation of Airports; second only to the world's power;
and the city painted with heavy congestion to reach global peak in recent times.
Her neck houses the biggest black settlement outside the dark continent.
She carries a slogan of hope in “ordem e progresso”.
The aerial view plane structure of her heart
required three years and five months only to make it a possible existence.
She had graced the only European capital away from Europe
as number is her meeting point between global size and population.
The glory of her international significance is well deserved
and her beauty, nowhere near expiry.
