the man sat in meditation on the rock by the trail
above the forest where birds used to sing
where wild men used to dance naked to the drum
where we once roamed in stardust from an ancient time
so come let us walk in the new concrete forest
where only zoo animals dwell in silence
in sadness of their prison bar cells
forgetting their nature of the life they were meant to have.
This is so true. It breaks my heart to see this in my country. I would imagine this is why I love the bush of Africa.
