Fear

Fear yes I am fearful
For my family
A fox like every other soul
Does care
About his chosen vixen
And our lovely cubs
Of course we are collectively
Aware

Of dangers on the road
Through this old forest
Those cars
Those headlights
Anyone can be
Cut down by those thundering
Great lorries
That speed along and can squash
You and me

Since we are foxes why on earth
Do you need
To hunt us down
To murder us and cry
And set your fucking dogs on us
To tear us limb from limb
And hold us up as something that
Must die

It don’ t make any sense we are
Wild animals
With just as much right really
To be here
You bloody awful huntsman
Just for entertainment purposes

You take it out on families dear oh! Dear

My little cubs so innocent and pretty
My lovely vixen wife , a caring soul
All of us have a reason to be living
All of us are in our own control
Why does all the countryside alliance mob
Want to say it’s right to take us down
These cattle farmers prattle on about the need to be
Slaughtering and threatening us ensuring
That we see
Brinkmanship and danger
The kind of madcap way
This wilful suicidal stuff
That hangs fire in the
Forest every day.
