Watch Out For Foxes


Cleverness is so effective

Making it seem scam-less

Using their disguising friendliness

They are the crooked foxes

They are who society watches

They are good for nothing

Only for performing as a con artist

They are such tricky slicks

It doesn't take much to be dangerous

With them, it takes killing with kindness

You become a victim

You only notice later

Your main weapon is wisdom

Protects you from the takers

The victimizer can also become a victim

Wait until the wolves find out

You'll know when you hear the howls

Suddenly, you are a coward

Nerves raising by each hour

The owl witnesses all
