Toxic City

Gonna take a ride down to Toxic City.
All the algae blooming there’s considered rather pretty.
Everything is glistening and slimy to the touch.
Particles float in the air. Try not to breathe too much.
Best to wear a plastic suit and mask upon your face.
Despite all its drawbacks, still, it’s quite a vivid place.
Animals that roam the streets are of an unknown breed.
Only plants that grow there now are called the devil’s seed.
Once a week a tour comes by inside an armored truck,
people taking photographs of creatures in the muck.
Toxic City’s on the map, but circled in bright red.
All its former residents reportedly are dead.
