THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

The concrete jungle is not for all to see
Where all the animals look just like you and me
It is a world where only the strong survive 
and the weak struggle to stay alive.
 Everyone is a victim over carnal needs and not
caring for consequences because of their greed.
Drugs and money consume their souls 
and the count of the victims is the only goal.
It is another world that has no care
warning us everyday what to beware
 Our children only see what meets the eye
but in reality it is only a lie
The concrete jungle is here to stay 
growing stronger and stronger  every day
Wisdom and knowledge are the tools we need 
 to conquer the jungle we refuse to see
Blinding ourselves and looking away does not take away the concrete
jungle we see everyday.
