A Jungle World

Slowly and silently she moves Waiting for the right moment before she swoops Her fangs built to shorten the lives of fools Who in a moment their lives they lose The glance from her will make you go pale For few are alive to tell the tale Just a swipe and to eternity will your soul sail Her strikes has never and will never fail The naive prey unsuspecting is feasting Unaware that not far from him death lurks...nesting The prey breathes its last never suspecting Its carcass in a barren land...forever resting Who are these helpless preys?... Who suffering fill all their days Who are those who lose their lives in these God forsaken place? Who are those who find themselves caught up in life's maze? They are the poverty stricken serfs! Who die daily in mass While the rich populate like stubborn grass For them...Hope is far away as the stars! But we must breathe in the air of freedom even if it's our last We must build a utopia for our generation very fast We must raise the flag of freedom on the ship's mast And build a future that would forever last!!!
