Silvery Fish
Silvery fish darted with slippery speed
As a group - as one - a call to heed
As a group - as one - did all react
Whether threat was false or threat was fact
So the body must heed the call
React - as one - from big to small
React - as one - to surge ahead
As by One Spirit we all are led
No deliberation is required
Whether fresh or whether tired
When reacting to a threat unknown
Or perchance avoiding a threat that’s shown
For the nets are in the water
Nets intent on death and slaughter
Nets crafted with one goal
To snatch up each and every shoal
