Within this jungle, which is ours I ride the back of Thunder-cloud, my friend
Around and through the thickets thick banyan trees & palm fruit fallen leaves
Down muddy earthen paths until everything is green and shadows
until inside its heart, the rain forest trees of this jungle are city buildings - tall
and choir of fauna high and low do not fear to sing beneath our cathedral's shade
In this kingdom of flora and ruby rich dirt belongs to thunder-cloud and dirt-poor me
A Mowgli on his elephant, hollars ahead to any that hear "We are free!"
Here, far from the whips' lashing, guns, away from the loud business of murderous money
They who say that I am nothing in their eyes who abacus my worth with looks
with upraising lust of wolves but I a free man, a simpleton for beloved (Earth)
I am dark skinned Krishna on my steed of thunder-clouds
A native son of brown & green wilderness caterwauling to the beyonds unknown
Within our jungle, brother thunder, my elephant of deep clouds gray
we are Mammoth and as wild as wide as open as free... with every step forward
on this living journey we will take
a peaceful kind of smile will only be what is written upon each lovely lovely face
*(Within our jungles...we live simply without the Man's hate not today will I hunger, nor will I thirst fed on real wonder, drank clouds of Himalayan rain without a rupee to my name... on the back of thunder my gentle Ganesh - I have no one to blame.)
