the jungle



deep into thought its the dark of the night feel your surroundings
can't swim drown you might
so much was said your thoughts were shallow in light
and the rope of your words will choke you inspite
watch this my friend for its trick to see
because all that you know means nothing to me
for I can decieper the head line blood red
in every days news there is another soul dead
it's a city of madness in a state of hope
wild growels black bars in this jungle we cope
it a lesson to learn thats what
they say we are all born to live
till our dying day in the jungle
