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!
