Jungle realisation

Peru

People said it would be hard and far from easy 
Returning from the jungle has made me queasy
Queasy of mind its all so intense 
The reality of learning has been immense 
I was told many things and what i'd appreciate 
and how in this world we might integrate 
No appreciation its the opposite end of the scale 
I’ve left the jungle feeling rather frail 
A prisoner in this realm a society for slaves 
Where news is negative and attention it craves 
Mass destruction and murder world wide 
The wars and deaths we cannot hide 
We watch them suffer all through choice 
The government control and speak their voice
Chemotherapy why do we let it happen 
Bring them in we'll poison and zap them 
Chemo will extend the period of time 
but admitting poison is a serious crime 
A dose of chemo will kill the cell 
the toxic measure in living hell 
A plant, a root, a tree, a cure
A healer, a hospital and so much more 
The jungle is pure, green and fresh 
The canopy protects like a natural mesh 
Illness and health there is some kind of aid
So why poison people when they can be saved 
In the jungle you can find it and make it better 
A true sign to a natural health detector
The jungle lacks luxuries for example you'll see 
No comfy bed, running water and no TV 
It has its own form of special treats 
like fresh air and beauty as far as the eye meets 
The sun rises and its a sight of perfection 
the sun sets and its a soul felt connection 
A river wild that cannot be tamed 
Like a mental photo forever framed 
In full flow with power yet grace 
I'm lucky to share this sacred space 
A sacred space so full of health and light 
Each waking moment and every night 
The jungle meets every desired need 
From healing powers and sowing seed 
There is a struggle but they help one another 
Loving the jungle like a baby to mother 
Time is endless and has no meaning 
From day to day forever dreaming 
No rushing around or deadline hitting 
Absorbing the energy in a relaxing sitting 
A lack of Ego by many but a test either way 
a struggle of adjustment to a jungle day 
Open and honest no anger or thought 
taking on board the lessons she taught 
Humble breath for the beauty around me 
catching the air so effortlessly 
The charm of the jungle and its nature inside 
Every living creature has no need to hide 
Its hard not to be positive and live to thrive 
When this mother jungle keeps them alive 
I have so much love and respect for you 
But now to understand my concrete jungle too 
A concrete jungle we call home 
Being here can feel so alone 
I miss you jungle but love you dearly 
For making me appreciate life more clearly 
So for now ts goodbye but maybe not forever 
one day we may all live in harmony together.....
