to slice ones' desires to shove some
hidden from view under the lunch box
lest one forgets
to foil a fox known to be sneaky
is to trust one's conscience
not wanting to ask why
but to defile a hoax
the hypocrisy of a twisted mind
it is sad that liars and scammers
rule supreme in the market place
social media is open to the world
given half a chance
will do you in and laugh
surrounded by their ill-gotten gains
forget the fox for other furry alternatives
a cat is just as cuddly with all its innocence
to let instinct to roll the red carpet
revile in one's own judgment
and live another day!

Hank I believe that a cat is more innocent than a fox, but a cat is not innocent to a songbird...
ReplyDelete“ sad that liars and scammers rule supreme”
ReplyDeleteOnly because we are allowing it Hank.
Well done Hank... I think we need to find our common sense once more!

ReplyDeleterule supreme in the market place'
Sad but true. I agree with Rob, it's because we allow it. We are mal-educated and misinformed. But we can re-educate ourselves, and I think reading and writing poetry can be a big part of that education!
The truth can be hard to locate.
ReplyDeleteWxcellent verse Hank, message coming over very well.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
There is so much that social media can destroy... I just hope that someday we will learn to live within it.
