Green hell

To hell I must present myself

Deep within my soul will venture

To find my most profound self

I thrust myself through this adventure

For I am aware I will feel pain

The fire ant sting might bring a sore

Jaguars could make this journey vain

An end as such i’ll not deplore

Another danger still resides

Beware of hunger the silent foe

That only food will make subside

So my advice your own food grow

Lets not forget the quicker killer

For thirst in two days kills with ease

And drinking water is quite a thriller

In fear of catching a disease

I wont be drowned in this sea of green

No soul for miles to be seen

Except for those, the silent watchers

Ghost people are the jungle keepers

Guardians of secrets lost by man

innocence, purity, enthralled by nature

This will be the point of fracture

They will destroy it if they can

The recent slaughter proves my case

For gold and diamonds people slay

Society showed we lost this race

How can one tell gold from clay

Long should we have shed this base

Its real value lasts in time

But real riches grow with grace

Prepared to be cut at their prime

The first step was to leave behind

All that tied me to my land

Release the strings, now I am free

To live my life beneath the trees

The pain, the sorrow, the empty void

Will make my journey harder still

And if disease I can avoid

Or an infection that might kill

The road goes on and ever on

I don’t know if I’m right on track

I hope that before I am gone

This green hell just spits me back
