A Wish For Fish and a Dolphins Swish

Already dead, a whale, a dolphin a shark,
All marine life is suffering, the situation
Has become absurd,
The facts real and stark!
My Fairy God mother...

True, Moses Wrote of Righteousness
True, Moses wrote of righteousness, one based upon the law.
But Paul proffered an alternate, eschewed the tragic flaw.
