Wait a minute,
before envying fish.
Yes, it has unlimited waters
but danger lurks as nets
opening mouths of death
at places unexpected
(Imagine what a fish is
once out of water)

Ending up in unbreakable nets
is the salvation of a lucky fish!
(The humans decided that)
Fishermen toil under star light,
to ensure three square meals
underdog's life  under the  dog star
is glorified as sacrifice,
romanticized as adventure,
a stereotype  without any  grip
on one's own destiny
is sustained for ever
as a myth.

Someone somewhere laughs
all the way to bank
carrying stalks of currency notes
smelling raw fish and sweat.
