THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

   I woke on a footpath
   The hard concrete under my body
   The sunlight was creeping in...
   I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a jungle
   A concrete jungle.
   The buildings towered over me
   I felt like a caged bird, never to be free
  And while I searched for just a sign of life
   I found none
   Not even one
   And I felt like a prisoner who forgot
   To escape on the only boat we found
   And so I sat on the ground
   And stared into blank space
   Wondering if this was the end of the human race
   I got into a building
   And I locked out the day light
   And created an artificial night
   Might as well, seeing that everything around
   Ruined Mother Nature, the ruler of our sacred ground
   I thought about when I could see the blue sky
   But that's a time that's already gone by
   I thought about a time when grass was green
   And a dull gray wasn't the only color seen
   When the wind would play with my hair
   And we wouldn't fight for clean air
   But hey! We've had our chance of fun
   And now that time is done
   For we ruined what we got from the earth
   We took our mothers last breath...
   And that lead to her death.
