Ok i took a bit of time to actually look around me and came up with this.

CONCRETE JUNGLE

verse
Monotonous brick work
i look up its all i see
skyscrapers and tower blocks
blocking out the light
wont be long until the
day turns to the night

chorus
concrete jungle
not a place to fall
its all rock hard, rock hard
wall to wall
pillar after pillar
in a race to reach the sky
dont know where we're going
and i dont know why

verse
street lights always shining bright
in the middle of the day
row after row of colums
lined up like stepping stones
occasionally you'll see a mast
that links your mobile phone

chorus
concrete jungle
not a place to fall
its all rock hard, rock hard
wall to wall
pillar after pillar
in a race to reach the sky
dont know where we're going
and i dont know why

verse
we keep building, building, building
just because theres space
where are our children meant to play
there are no trees or parks
fake oxygen will soon be here
now the herald harks

chorus
concrete jungle
not a place to fall
its all rock hard rock hard
wall to wall
pillar after pillar
in a race to reach the sky
dont know where we're going
and i dont know why.

And i'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it and reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it.- Bob Dylan,a hard rains gonna fall

If all else fails....theres poetry!!

I think this is very cool.

I dig it just as it is!

Keep up the writing.
