Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second

Baptism of cool fire
That shattered even reigning champions’ desire
Mashed in pieces, in the empire
Of Samba, still, no retreat no surrender

Penetration-less Minister’s defense
Oh! elastic ‘Tim’, Oh why! states…
Sixteen terrific saves in ninety wicked minutes’ surge
Still, this baptism proved too hard! too much!

And the seemingly flying Eagles
Mesmerizingly messed by a merciless Messi’s fiddle
Even teamwork saluted sheer brilliance
As Musa’s leverage melt in flames

Of soaring Luiz(es)
And biting Suarez(es)
Both sipping poisoned drinks
From the bitter-hurting blood of Samba Tragedy

A tragic comedy goal carnival
For smiling Germs’ via crying boys from Samba
In a Maracana-like manner
Quick-lit by RVP’s illuminating goal-lantern

For blood-dripping Schweinsteiger, like a certain Schwarzenegger
His own taste of Samba’s tragedy, staggered
Into comics of heroism with dexterous victory
…a tip from Samba tragedy…
