Cory Fox Poems

Three brothers walking after dawn
Found gold in a pot on their lawn
Said the first, 'Let us share! '
Said the next, 'We won't dare! '
...

Church bells echo down the river run
Father rises with the Sunday sun
He won’t miss a day
He sings hymns loudly on the chapel floor
...

The many led by few
Sets me apart from you
And everyone who lacks one keen desire
For the one wealth to find
...

At every dire turn
Please don’t fade away
Oh, when will I learn?
Just wait one more day…
...

Shivering on the icy floor
Hushed sobs in that dark place
Her hand shields her ashen face
From the cracked mirror on the door
...

“Believe in what you see
Because my eyes have never lied
If none would hear my plea
Will this mask hold me up inside?
...

His labored breathing hissed
As such a spiteful spirit sought
My blood spilled on the floor
Well, what are you waiting for?
...

Running hot blooded and young as the night
Stepped into this tunnel to pick my fight
Eyes dead ahead on a distant light
...

Should gold be had from lead
Forge me a lavish crown
Because it need not be said
What makes the world go round
...

Indifference his name; Self gain his plot
Like a lamb, he sets up his ruse
Lures his victims with no second thought,
No remorse and nothing to lose
...
