a father dies
the child cries
her lies
have led to her demise.
However, the Fish still swims.

his money is gone
his wife has left
his thoughts are pawned
he is bereft.
However, the Fish still swims.

the trees sway
the sky turns gray
lightning strikes
the house ablaze.
However, the Fish still swims.

the days are black
death is here
sorrow covered in thick veneer
the world has lost its vim.
The fish no longer swim.
