Concrete Jungle

Hello every(no)one again! How are we all feeling this fine morning?

Silent?

Thats cool, I guess.

But, anyways, I digress; I'm here to once again, to shower you with poetry, only, this time, I found a recording of myself reading this trainwreck on youtube, here.

Now, without further ado, Here is Concrete Jungle in lexicon.


The Concrete Jungle

The concrete jungle

A place with grey skies of concrete
Where urban predators line every street
Heat shines on everyone’s faces
And they are of all races

The concrete jungle

A place with a heartbeat of car alarms
Where six out of 10 don’t know about farms
The city grows – fat and lazy
So large – even the skies are hazy

The concrete jungle

Jets from metal birds are the morning chorus
As glass mountains tower overhead
Hundreds of council estates lie dormant – now dead

The concrete jungle

With broken dreams
Like broken glass, lining every pavement
As hard workers struggle to pay rent
With this democracy of hippocracy
Paying people more than they could hope to earn
And only the few can afford to learn

The concrete jungle

Once a place of hope and glory
Now it seems, just the same old story

A Shopping List For The Modern Era

Hello once again! As I've mentioned before, I am a poet. Admittedly, I don't think I'm a great one, but hey, I'll leave the judgement to you!

This poem is my annual entry into a competition that I completely adore, the SLAMbassador UK championship. Check them out!


A Shopping List For The Modern Era

Sainsburys: Try something new today

TV meals, 4.99
To raise the kids that you leave behind

Diet pills, £15
To take your self esteem off the ground

2L of Cheap Alcohol
To fill the void left in your soul

10 X Sticky Plaster
To cover the holes in your happily ever after

3 Cans of black spraypaint
To write your eulogy on the walls of the estate

A bottle of Aspirin
To make the pain go away

A kitchen knife
For the games you play

You were served by Rachel

Have a nice day.

Thank you for reading my little poem! Now, I've been reliably informed by friends, that that poem is pretty sad, so, to counteract that, here's a kitten!;
Say it with me folks; Awwwwwwwwwww 

But, cute animals aside, tell me what you think of this in the comments, I'd love to hear what you thought of it! 

And don't forget to tune in next time, where I'll be talking about computers, soldering, and gadgetry galore!
