the foxes in the chicken coop


The foxes in the chicken coop
Watching the eggs piling up in straws
Eyes grow big and hungry in the stomachs
The chickens never see them coming

They dream of their world
In the chicken coop they live
They don't need to live in fear
With silver fencing they feel protected

But it is the false hope of protection
The greedy foxes will try to find a way in
They want to steal; nothing will stop the deed
The foxes feeling good no need to worry

They have the control over the chicken coop
Only the chickens still dreaming of false protection
Still dreaming of the time of many eggs
The foxes jump in wagging tails

The farmer aims his rifle
In his hiding place to take shots at the foxes
The chickens run wild flapping wings
Shots fire the foxes stare in death sequences
