A Poem by: Joe David
jumble in the jungle

 

nature, nurture; garden, urban
nobody knows, few people care
who carries the heaviest burden
or follows a lion into it’s lair

why me, why me is often our lament
but there’s no pity for the gazelle
as the cheetah brings it torment
nature in the garden, some think it hell

a rumble in the jungle, what can it be
it’s him, it’s you, NO it cant be me
its gitcha, gotcha gimme gimme gimme
oh please wont you show me your pretty
