The roar of passing cars,
The cries of sirens echoing between buildings
Are not the wildest parts of this jungle

Animals mark their territory with graffiti and
The vines of telephone wires dangle above, while
Geysers of steam spew from manholes in the streets

This is not a jungle made of foliage,
But a much wilder habitat
One that is made of cold, hard concrete

I wrote it for a weekly open mic our class does and I was inspired from a line in a song.
