City In the Bush

City in the Bush When you sit and view it from within It glitters with confusion from without The habitats look happy in their brutality Life seems active in a sea of parasites This is a dreamland of organized pirates The eye that sees what are on the landscape The ear that hears what the wind whispers Miss the forbidden truth hidden within Fly; watch the city from cloud’s wings Sit on mountain’s head and view from there Truth spread on clean sheet, looks at thee It is a city in the bush, a city in darkness The bush of ignorance shines with applaud The jungle of want shouts in silence Every mouth that opens itself gets a pinch If it utters that Africa is a city in the bush
