The Fish

Anonymous

The silhouette from above, A squirming fish in distress. We can do nothing, For in our lives, It is survival of the fittest.

We are not ones to help, Flowing with the current is all we know. We see the water dance with the sun. This is how God created us, And we are not the ones to change that.

I’ve seen many of my brothers and sisters fall Or should I say, rise. My tears never fall below me, For they are absorbed by the water. It appears that one of my brothers has floated above the water.
