Big Fish, Little Fish

In order for big fish to survive Little fish are eaten alive The little fish must never object It's another law they have to respect. Little fish aren't allowed to make laws Only big fish can make them because That's the way it always was. The little fish must never complain Or accuse the big fish of causing them pain, "That can't be proven," the big fish say, "The law is the law, we all must obey." But, what if it isn't Nature's way And little fish aren't created for that Just for big fish to eat and grow fat. And maybe little fish cry out in vain And big fish, like always, ignore their pain. What if little fish, weary and tired Refused to spawn and slowly expired? How would the big fish behave when they meet If there were no little fish for them to eat?
