SEEKING SAFETY

I am in a jungle where wild and free,

And frenzied eyes stare at me,

How come I ventured, how come I was lost,

How did I in this place stage entry?

Men and women they call themselves,

What makes them say so I can't say,

Even wolves roam about and hunt in packs,

But these souls are selfishly greedy.

Even vultures that feed upon the dead,

Share and fly about patiently,

Even the adder with its venomous tongue,

Is not so dangerous and deadly.

Even the fox that fears the hounds,

Has some awareness of its bounds,

Even the wild and untamed cats,

Aren't so cunning in enmity.

Is there a cave, a tree, some sea,

Where I can hide and seek refuge,

Where is the tavern where some like me,

From this evil domain seek safety?
