In the Company of Foxes

Let down 
Hearing the disconcerting sounds 
“We can’t help“
It’s time to engage inner stealth 

Tears flow 
On a path, nobody knows 
Perhaps into the rivers flow 
To where, we don’t know 

At some point, they will hit the sea 
After so many winds and curves flowing monotonously
Sometimes they flow fast
Sometimes it feels like this flow will ever last 

So much water 
For we are all somebody's daughter 
Battered around 
Allowed to drown 

No care in the business-minded fox lair 
We need to be aware 
Always taking self-care 
For the fox's lair, is often not fair 

Manipulation 
It’s time to lean into hesitation 
Take the time to read 
See the human greed

Some companies exist 
To twist our minds, until they feel like they don’t exist 
Industries that have no soul 
Without thought, they will throw you into a hole 

No customer care 
In their foxes' lair 
Just empty ideas 
Like verbal diarrhoea 

Unkind 
To our psychic minds
Honestly, it's a rare breed
Driven out by the numbers, which appear to have real needs 

We can live in hope 
They won’t suffocate on their rope 
For they carry a noose 
With their coercive abuse 

Sad times 
So many crimes 
But sometimes the fox gets eaten 
And these cultures can be beaten
