There are no adventures left to be had.
What once was wild is nothing more.
Jungles are painted over in concrete.

There is nowhere to escape.
Everything is covered with metal.
Tigers are tame kittens.

The world we have created is superficial.
Artificial. All it takes is a giant magnet
To make the world a jungle again.

Sometimes I wish life was simple. I wish that there were real adventures to be had, out in the wild. I wish the stories on TV and in movies actually happened.
