rio de janeiro


the samba beat,

sun thumping heads and feet,

carnival music invades the air,

with people dancing every where.
football legend lives in time,
as flamengos cheer -- now, now.


mountains peak upon the sea,

green hats in clouds circle the streets.

sugar loaf eyes the city from afar

and the redeemer, with hands outstretched

and standing tall,

protects them one and all.
