The Foxes.

Foxes tearing open bin bags on rubbish day.  
The revenge of nature against over assured middleclass suburbanites.  
I've seen them scurry and run into the bushes,in my walking about at nights.  
dazzled and bewildered by taxi high beam lights.  
 
The scavengers rake among the remains of consumerist lifestyles.  
In devouring all you own,they swallow up your soul.  
 "This is how you are killing us",  
is spread in symbolic patterns across the roads.  
Chaos caused, Mankind disrupted for a few minutes.  
Not an inch compared to all that has been wrought.  
 
 
Offered up the sweet and sickly commodified vision of perfection.  
They live off all they can find, the shadow side to you,  
You who are led in mind,hopeless and blind, to live beyond our means  
indebt ourselves to the bank and  boss, for LCD Tv's and Diamondtines.  
 
 
This Moloch has me  caught in  it's jaws.
I am chomped and flayed for your amusement.
We're all victims, don't try and tell yourself you're not.  
I am wound up and played on repeat, to sell you crap you otherwise wouldn't think  to eat.  
 No time to kill.Time is money,The Tyranny of the Clock.  
 
We demand so us you shall supply.
 Cheaper and cheaper means to die!  
off the production line,
 in Ford lickety split shine,  
Brand new state of the art fantastic amazing can't- be -seen -dead -without- one-  
 Suicide machines!!!  
 
The Foxes are hiding now.
They will hunt you the only way they know how,  
through feeding on your cash cows.  
Crows peck away at Urban decay refuse sites.  
  The Whales are trying to talk.
Trying to make you stop.
"It is company policy, direct from the top."  
Step in line watch it Wage slave.  
The market will lash back,if you try to be so brave.

 
A reused poley bag won't save the world, but it's a start.
not the whole answer but a small part.  
Unless it's rotting on a tree,
ovrpopulating the rivers and putting the deathnail to the Bee.
Competition robs heart , finds community to feed on and
sucks.
Ethical investment is big bucks.  
We're all feeling a little green now.....
