THE NEON BOULEVARDS
OF AMERICA'S JUNGLE
SMALL CITIES AND TOWNS
OF CRUEL HEARTS
WHERE I STOOD AGAINST
THE LIARS AND HYPOCRITES
WHO CARVED THEIR INSIGNIAS
IN THE FLESH OF THE EARTH
I CARRIED THE WOLF IN MY BONES
AND WALKED IN HIS FOOTPRINTS
HUNTING THE TONGUES OF LYING MOUTHS
AS THEY SANG FROM THE FALSE BOOK
I MET PEOPLE
WITH TWO FACES AND NO HEART
I SAW THEIR WORDS
WRITTEN IN BLOOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS
I PASSED THEIR SHRINES
BUILT TO GLORIFY
THEIR IGNORANCE
AND DEAD LEADERS
I SAW THEIR FLAG
WHICH WAS MADE
FROM THE SKIN
OF THOSE THEY HAD KILLED
I WANDERED THEIR CITIES
BUILT ON THE DEATH OF FORESTS
AND BREATHED
THE POISON AIR
I SAW HONOR
THROWN IN THE GUTTERS OF PROFIT
AND HEARD LIARS PROCLAIM THEMSELVES
MORAL BEINGS
I SAW CHILDREN
CRUCIFIED BY RELIGION
AND TORMENTED
WITH SHAME
ALL THESE THINGS
I SAW AND HEARD
ON THE NEON BOULEVARDS
OF AMERICA'S JUNGLE
