Where I come from...

A big country in south America
Its name is Brazil
You may think soccer and samba!
Or going to a beach to chill

But like any other place out there
Not everything is always cool...
On the streets it's a warfare
And kids are out of school

The economy is growing fast
And they want the world to see
However they always forget
To show what only I can see

The country is awesome, if you are rich
Try being born in a poor family: "High School?"
Most people will never reach

The best Universities might be free
But the inside of them
Only rich boys get to be

Inequality, homelessness, and starvation...
But hey, there is a world cup coming!
Forget the bad things, we are the soccer nation!

  1. HI Felipe, This is a really interesting poem about Brazil. I think we have some similar problems in the U.S. with kids from poor families having trouble getting into a good university, or even graduating from high school. I hope we can solve this problem one day with more awareness and good leaders. Thanks for writing about such an important topic.
