The jungle

This place is a people swallowing machine
This place is a human blood machine
It turns soft beings into heartless brutes

This inhuman place is a city
Citadel of capitalist materialism
That as its opposite, also
Does not bring the answers we need

This concrete and artificial lights jungle
Was created by the sapiens human being
It was generated from her mind distorted by ambition

Will we ever find the way out of their mazes?
Ecosystems polluted by the discreet opulence of its wealthy citizens

Long live the death of the concrete giant in whose veins runs human blood

The jungle that replaced the native forest where pure men lived!
