Best Jungles Poems

Upon tomorrow's arrival,
today fades into yesterday.
And apathy spurs denial
as endangered animals die.

Wherever concrete cities rise,
collateral damage occurs.
And as jets traverse open skies,
wild birds get annihilated.

We dedicate our existence,
to a utopia of steel.
And survive in asphalt jungles;
shadowed by lofty achievements.

Reality is a mirage;
projected on collapsing hopes.
And...

Immodest mouse (though sheepishly I drive):
Cheese-poof ambition traps shred Plexiglas; 
Life’s tint is circus; freaks pedaling thrive;
My spinner’s stopped, feline-stripped out of gas.

Cradled in moon’s ambitious pseudo-shine,
Not that I could, see I’ve nowhere to go;
Clawed dizzy by stars she hangs as a shrine,
Marathons end; unfinished...

Nineteen seventy nine and we don't even care ?
As restless as we are yet, tis so easy to get caught up
Within orphan Joey's perpetual season in woes this rainbow
Skidrow coloured their flesh but don't you know; smit the bit this lingo pit
Hanging on a tit...

Queen of the jungles of romantic feelings
The African Queen with a beauty stolen from nature
Leave me alone, do no come in my sight
I do not want to die quickly here in Africa

When she breathes the nose spells letter B
In her movements her shape scribbles letter...

The moon in struggle
As it breaks through the red
The sky is dying
The earth in dread
 
The three sisters
On a mound of decay
Stand proud of their moment
Civilisation, fading to grey
 
Sceptre and scents
Sword of the fallen
Spreading their angst
Like a darken pollen
 
Heads slightly bowed
Their way of...

Barely belaboring the billions of bungles,
Listening to the cold, clamorous Cleveland-like clungles,
Within the bowels of the half-hearted, hard-headed hungles,
Judiciously jeering at the jealous jaguars juicy joy jungles, 
She swung the serendipitous swiggles from their silly slow swungles....

There’s a wildness to a city
  that wilderness doesn’t have

In closeness—an isolation
  as tenants stalk their paths

The repetition of wanton avarice
  pits dog and dog upon dog

The knife edge of the skyscrapers
  cutting the residents into cogs

There’s a fierceness to the...

JUNGLES  


Hear Oh thou weaklings, 
Listen you old men that still sucks breast, 
And feeds on food meant for infants, 
At a certain age, 
An infant leaves his mother’s bosom and craves for other food, 
But your heads are still cleaved to mother’s bosom,...

They are coming with the needle
They think they are being kind
Sending me back to
The jungles of my mind.

There are creatures in the forest,
I can feel them closing in
Screaming in my mind
In a brain jarring din.
The fire is burning well
Sending out heat and light
Keeping at bay...

Radiant waves of emotions, full of hope.
Hearty beef stew with raisins and pickled beats.
We gained wisdom from our mothers.
Trusting the saints who walk beside us.
Into rivers we bathe away our shadows. 
Lights favor us with songs.
Jungles of bone.
Sand gave us the glass.
Knitting heavens weave.
Yearning for...

a weak, tiring roar~
the same one that once shook the jungles...
now too feeble to scare.
Its strength fades to past glory...
as death lingers close to claim....
