Thanks for the replies Billy and ChristopherSea.
I should note that the opening line can be interpreted two ways. You both interpreted it as neckties denoting businessmen. That is a good interpretation and can show that the poor do not pity those who had to actually plan this World Cup. The actual meaning of the line, in regards to what I intended, is in reference to the Colombian necktie method of execution. The poor do not pity those who were killed because the poor are still living in their own dim reality while those with neckties got out.
It should also be noted that World Cups and Olympics have a long history of costing the host country far more in bidding and infrastructure than it generates in revenue. That is the inspiration for the last lines, as the poor Brazilians will likely never be able to step foot inside the stadium, yet could easily rob tourists who wanted to see the stadiums in the wake of the tournament.
Just wanted to explain a few things. I'll work on an edit. Thanks for the suggestions.

I write what I see. Write to make it right, don't like where I be. I'd like to make it like the sights on TV. Quite the great life, so nice and easy.
