On the Bus

Words 

Dubai
Lumps of concrete 
Set in sand  

If you want to study
Marine biology
Don’t start with a tin of sardines 

Capital punishment 
Since we all are going to die
It is not a penalty 

Shrimps are
Insects of the oceans
Why not we eat butterflies

If all life is related 
Having the same origin
Aren’t we cannibals   

 
Are surgeons 
Red meat fanciers 
Or vegetarians
