Urban jungle begins Concrete overpowers the once green grass No big porches

Noise pollution is background Industry making the air very thick now Not enough jobs

The flickering street lamps Fail to brighten the violence within These darkened streets

Daddies still drink Too many newborns and not enough dolls People desperate for attention

Broken English vernacular Education isn't that vital Better things to do

Wars occur every night A bloody battle of colors Shoes hang from power lines

(Inspiration: "American Haiku" by Jack Kerouac)
