Under the Sea

Rough plank boards running under my feet Leading me out to the end of the pier Looking toward the blue green ocean waves To sit, to think of life under the sea Is their life not unlike our very own…? Do they think, or just try to stay alive While swimming through their liquid world With only their imprinted consciousness Will they flourish when danger appears obeying the laws of nature to survive? Are we so unlike our watery friends Who live in another world below our feet Do we not struggle to live our lives as well Whether man or creature that fills the earth we all travel the same path to survive. Everyone and everything has a chance to live As long as it is destined by the whims of nature Making connections in our predetermined ways Who are we to decide which of us matters more Don’t they realize, we are all under one God?
