Welcome to our loathsome jungle
Where the bulls cry
Welcome to our loathsome day
Where creatures roam throughout the night
One day we'll unite
Our perception once divine

We've forgotten the way there
These lonesome streets have lost their identity
Dont want us comming around no more
The sleppy hills have fallen unconcious
The sidewalks are all extinct
Nothing is left but dead asphalt and sleet
We miss you dear child
We lament your divine memory
We've chained our ancestors
And hung them upside down
Disected their posture
And stripped them of all but being

Try and forget these days
Days of red tile drapery
Try and forget these days
And forget your life

Wow, can't tell if it's about a fantasy world - or possibly a religous message. Either way, I love a poem that's a puzzle - it's quite enjoyable when a poem makes you think!
good stuff
