Tiny Fishes

Tiny fishes in a pond, lake, or stream:
The big-eat-small society 
Born to be fear 
A naive action implies death.         	

Tiny assumes a good food for big
Tiny has to evade the fisher’s net 
Tiny has to conceal the kingfisher’s eyes
		
Sadly, sometimes the sunlight  
Boils the freshwater community  
If the tiny fishes have wings like the birds
They would fly away from the daily dangers.
Poor people suffer and can’t escape 
Neither natural nor man-made crisis!
