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
