Fox In the Fable

Fox in the fable all cards on the table My life fits well in Pandora's box A heart refusing a steady beat With confusion, it pounds and knocks When to pay the piper The fear I face everyday Like man standing before a sniper Whose about to have his head blown away I've tried to play by the rules but maybe these are words of a desolate fool I sit before a screen exposing truths in me For everyone to review and dissect Could that imply I have Very little self respect? I've met with every obstacle For many years endured in silence real pain But I no longer choose to Walk in acid rain I've become the obtuse Refusing to continue living life as a recluse Putting words to good use and Send a STRONG MESSAGE to those Who mentally and physically abuse Harsh as it may seem He who falters must redeem A world filled with enmity And divisions of seed May the Lord not deafen His ears to the pleas Of humanity, cause we are Lost without his infinite mercies

I enjoyed how the stanzas smoothly roll off the tongue.
