Vulpes Lagopus the White Fox
The Arctic tundra it’s domain
Born to be there
With its dens
With its manure
It defends
The leaching out of nutrients
With remnants of its prey
It rebalances the godly earth
Fertility each day
Created to be relevant
But up against those who
Would see it and it’s family
As nutrition too
The Eagle, Wolf and Mountain Lion
Ready to chase and kill
This beautiful little family
It’s what Carnivoral spirits do
One Gabrielle Corno came upon
A family in distress
Wolves had set upon them
Where was their address
Being attacked and frightened
The wolves were clearly there
To end the lives of the family
With the truest of despair
A man who held compassion
For those he saw as being
Dealt a bout of vile aggression
He was so all seeing
He realised that predators
Also need to feed
But saw this dear fox family
And hoped it might succeed
These beautiful white fur balls
Being molested by
Jagged teeth and wretched powers
Inside himself was why
His heart and soul awakened
To The ugliest of sin
He saved them from the agony
He helped them thus to win
The foxes lived to fight
Another day
The family they
Would catch more Lemmings
And more gerbils yes would have their day
Rebalancing predation
Engaged with Nature they
Enjoy their family unions
And enjoy their way
Forward into expression
A man whose thoughts and care
Kind of changed the narrative
That day being aware
The under dogs were suffering
And stepping in he could
Save a vital family group
Which the poets felt was good.
