A beautiful country
People look at its map and see
A country of landlocked1 beauty
Rarely looking beyond the obvious
At the citizens of Paraguay
Guarani is the indigenous population,2 and the
Unique official language of this wonderful nation.3
A river gave this country its name4
Yacyretá, a cooperative hydroelectric project between Paraguay and Argentina.5

Rivers crisscross this country's landscape,
Ocean access for a landlocked nation.6
Creation myths of the Guarani people:7
Kurupi, fertility god and one of the Seven Monsters;8
Sypave and Rupave the first human beings.9

Line Count: 13
