Concrete Jungle
In this jungle of concrete
Tons of iron and paper flowers
There is no wilderness
Imprisoned minds and souls.
Bullets of ink-black fumes
Piercing the blue sky
Smoking chimneys and
Wildfires that keep bursting.
Rainbows of cemented flyways
Fireflies trapped inside
Steely bulbs of the eternal
Illumination of the nights.
In this jungle of concrete
A biodiversity of possessions
With the only sounds of
Cars honking and screeching.
Men in machines run
Through, chasing the
Ebullient trill of
The cash counters.
From the concrete
Into the concrete
Making themselves
The concrete.
