Make it Write

Prayer of the Fox
by Victoria, 21

Oh Great Lord of Lords

this humble fox would entreat your

attention to pursue a subject he had

previously failed to mention.

 

I realize my toils

are trivial in Your world

and desire not to disrupt it,

as though into a lake, a rock hurled.

 

But Almighty One

what hath you wrought

with these malevolent humans,

for their hounds they have brought!

 

Hounds obviously unleashed

from that mythical lair,

I see Hades observing,

smirking at me with care.

 

Yelping and yapping, they stampede

my lover through the brush,

oblivious to the juvenescence

under their paws they crush.

 

And what follows them

close on their heels?

Estranged wickedness as though

murderous serpents and eels.

 

Freaks mounted astride

narcissistic mares,

sounding their horns

with emphatic blares.

 

Dare I not venture

beyond my earthen hollow,

in that behind me through the day

these creatures might follow.

 

And although no entity

be holier than Thou,

surely this heinous crime

You cannot allow.

 

I pray not just for me

but for all of my kind,

for it is the fox this

evil seeks to find.

 

I appeal to you with

but one request,

though with daily bread in

abundance, I am certainly blessed.

 

Thus, I choose not to impose upon

your sensational power...

but curse these bloody beasts

begat on Witches' Hour!

 

Now that I fear I have taken too

much time of your omniscient ears,

a proud British fox proclaims,

"Amen... and cheers!"
