fishy, fishy, fishy…

you wait like a fisherman
in the edge of what lakes
for not just any fish,
a specific terrain underwater
a definite current,
that makes such and such
hardier, skin rainbower, sleekier,
don’t say it’s fat
or long, and it’s enough
what feeds its meat
what horrors did its fins run off from,
what did its unblinking eyes stare at—
is what makes beautiful
that is why you crouch
and wait the wait of ages,
if you die of hunger
it is a worthier death
than to eat just whatever bites the bait.
The beautiful is worth the wait.

Fishy, fishy in the brook.
Daddy catch him on a hook.
Mommy fry him in a pan.
Baby eat him like a man.

Dear Mr fishy,
I sincerely apologise,
we humans are evil.
From the moment we first open our eyes-
take our first steps , say our first words...
We humans are devils.
God made us perfect,
then we ruined it.
Our arrogance and fake superiority
is what put you in that tank,
and will put us in it.
Dear Mr fishy
I know you are bored,
taken away from your family
hunted and adored,
by the humans who love you
but your just a toy-
a pretty little plaything for us
to enjoy.
So dear Mr fishy,
DON'T give us your trust.
Dear Mr fishy.
We humans are stupid.
We lie, betray, ****, steal.
We are just ignorant.
We moan over others' success,
when we've not tried doing it.
We stop other people's prosperity
happiness!
because of simple little jealousy.
See Mr Fishy
have mercy 'cause
we are just disgusting.
