PELE

Oh

Yes!

I am Pele 
Was born poor
But to be great
Dad played ball 
I’d loved to do it better

Even if the flower won’t bloom
I’ll cherish what I love to do 
Do it in a better way, thrive!
Yea!! To a better me to reckon 

Where is the ball, balloon rolls
Where is the field? The road to greatness 
Even

Pele Rip

PELE – R.I.P.

When I was a young boy
Soccer was my game.
I dreamed I would play like Pele;
The whole world would know my name.

I would just be known by a single name
And I’d always wear number ten.
I’d win the World Cup Final,
Again and again and again

The crowds would all adore me,
I’d bask in adulation.
The name on

The Day Pele Disappeared

Team named Santos of Pelé, Coutinho, Doval, Mengálvio, Pepe and cia played against a Ceará first division team. It was not Ceará nor
the Fortaleza. It was the first half and the defense of that team was
almost nullifying Santos's fabulous attack.
Nothing worked: neither Pepe's kicks, nor the little tables of
Pelé and Coutinho ... nothing was undone

Pele, Goddess of Fire

First fire surges from the inner Earth.
Island waters greet the fire goddess
Risen from Earth's fiery core, her birth,
Endows with lava, land from her first kiss.

Exploding from a volcanic shower
Earth spews fire as Pele emerges...
Her hair glows golden in the twilight hour,
Streaming slowly as her passion surges.

Gracefully she moves and quietly creeps
On her

Neptune and Pele

Pele shared her rage; passionate she boiled
For her love feisty, my Ke aloha 
Sweet ocean, caress... pilialoha
Massaging her beach, my waves gently toiled.

 Are you my niece, love? Young Vulcan’s sister? 
Answering, she said,  “Come… E kipa mai! 
 Who are you, Kahu? Tell me… be not shy. 
 Neptune, god of sea,

Strophe

Ye, the goddess of flame, fire and eternal love
From Tahiti you found home  in Hawaii Kilauea
I accessed your gateway with deep feelings of love
With your archetypes *Kali Ma, Sekhmet and Durga
You falsify that women are weak and incapable
That to be feminine to be fragile and helpless
You’re a beauty with dignity & divine power all
Ability
