Big Fish, Little Fish
In order for big fish to survive
Little fish are eaten alive
The little fish must never object
It's another law they have to respect.
Little fish aren't allowed to make laws
Only big fish can make them because
That's the way it always was.
The little fish must never complain
Or accuse the big fish of causing them pain,
"That can't be proven," the big fish say,
"The law is the law, we all must obey."
But, what if it isn't Nature's way
And little fish aren't created for that
Just for big fish to eat and grow fat.
And maybe little fish cry out in vain
And big fish, like always, ignore their pain.
What if little fish, weary and tired
Refused to spawn and slowly expired?
How would the big fish behave when they meet
If there were no little fish for them to eat?
