[bodytext] => Do not seek refuge in the places that I do, Such places would do you no good. This is all around me, It follows me there. I am told it is not necessary to fear one's own kind, Tell me, Do you? Only animals, Broken in spirit, Soil the place they eat and sleep, I walk through your steel jungle, I can not stand the stench of your filth, The same filth that tars my lung, stains my teeth. Do you feel free? Do you feel like a once proud beast, One tied, Drugged and placed in captivity. You sleep in your own excrement. I walk aimlessly, unburdened by map, I walk amongst all this I can not escape. I capture it on film, Each morning, trying to seek beauty in this cage, Still, It keeps me awake, The spoken words, The sound of machines, The hum of neon - Like a thousand flies swarming around all this decay. For me, No escape. Do not seek refuge in the places I do, Such places would do you no good.
