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.

All of which you speak of holds true in so many lives of man or beast. Life may not be fair in many ways but it's the care and concern that sets many free.
Very well written,
