Lessons

 You have heard that tale as a kid, 

When Aeshop told the story of the 

Sly Fox and the Crow.

The Fox once praised the Crow; 

Its voice was melodious enough 

To melt the coldest snow.

The Crow was manipulated to lose its meat, 

Trying to display its magical feat.

Today, the world isn't any different, 

Social media illusions: praises and fame.

Does the Crow see its potential on its own?

Do the lies fed by validation make it lose its course?

The sly foxes hide behind innumerable usernames 

Follow unfollow a game despicable

When do we learn what moral stories teach?

Do we ever get out of the circle or drown in the sea?

Fox or crow, bunter or hunted, which one are you? 

For the curated world to see?
