The Jungle

THE JUNGLE

The trees sway
The birds fly
The cats sit silently
The monkeys swing 
The people smile 

The trees fall 
The birds die
The cats run
The monkeys fall
The people smile

The ashes fall
The planes fly 
The concrete pours
The children swing
The people smile

The earth crumbles
The ground scorches
The water turns to sand
The people run 
There is no one left to smile

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@: akiraa_artly
