Why Are Fish Blinded To the Deck
A
Carp
Makes a
Rash choice
With what it eats.
Attracted at times to
Gobble slimy worms that
Hang on a rusted hook that
Leads to being pulled on deck,
For its’eventual demise. It makes
You wonder why it never recognized
The string that was attached to that hook
That caught it in its’grasp as a trap.
Swimming in blue waters of a
Better choices to put inside
Its’ mouth that are full
And healthy for all
Its’needs. But still swims blind and
Towards dark dead bait that
Hang on sharpest
Hooks to pull
Then die.
