A Fish Who Recognized Nirvana
A tiny fish in a polluted pond struggled to breathe.
She is suddenly scooped up with a batch of the stinky water.
It is poured off her, and she is plunked into a fresh water tank
With her friends, and plenty of sweet air, tunnels, bridges, and ferns.
She is amazed and excited; her prayers were answered.
Feeling badly for the rest of her family, all of whom are dying a stifling
Death in a pond that once was full of fresh cool spring water.
A pond that has been a dumping ground for a factory without
A conscious. The tiny fish begins making new friends,
Optimism revived, excited to live, knowing her parents will
Be thrilled for her also. Realizing how wonderful breathing is again.
