001: The Fox Poem by Colin Johnston

001: The Fox

Rating: 4.7


I saw a fox the other night
The sight of it was pure delight
It loped along with regal grace

It never once did change its pace

It turned and looked with eyes that burned,
And all at once my passions churned
Why do we kill such noble beasts,
So lambs can graze and chickens feast

Who should decide who lives or dies
Is what it said with it's eyes...
-

Note: This is a factual poem,
I was driving home one night and it was in the middle of the road...
It stayed there for minutes and then wandered off...

Foxes are actually beautiful animals. Killing of animals is a very complex question. I am not a vegetarian myself. I am not sure, somewhere deep insed any killing feels not right and I can appreciate your feeling very much if the fox was looking you in the eye.
