LIVING IN A FAIRY TALE
I am born
Look around
See siblings
Mommy and Daddy
Not there
We are orphans
Growing up in an
Underwater city
Enclosed with glass
On all sides
With my siblings
Search for food
Live in a protected area
Tropical setting
Villages
Houses, schools
Library restaurants
Castles, mushroom houses
Pagoda, volcano
Playing hide and seek
In caves, hollow logs
Parks with statues
Trees, bushes
Streets of gravel
Look and see figures
Walking in air
We spy on them
Watch as they
Eat , read, watch TV
They are free
We are fish
Trapped in an
Aquarium
THE VICTIM
Clean
Unpolluted
Of the blue
Ocean
Before progress
Began
Invention of
Sturdy boats
Motor, Cruise, war ships
Submarines
Social surroundings
Of underwater
Sealife
Now the water
Has life above
Without care
For those below
Danger to the sea
Pollute with garbage
Thrown overboard
Fumes
Effects quality of life
For the fish
Small fish netted
Big fish speared, hooked
Look for food elsewhere
Sharks spied
Strange creatures
In the sea
Take a bit
Of human fish
Clean, unpolluted
Of the blue ocean
Before advancement
Of man
