Prisoners

Prisoners

A Poem by OscarMann
"

Should we feel sorry for fish in bowls or be jealous?

"
I used to think that fish
In little bowls and aquariums
Were pitiful prisoners of men
Deprived of freedom
Defined by frontiers
Hindered by limits

But now I know that fish
Might be happy in their prisons
Able to explore all there is to see
While humans keep on getting lost
In their prison of infinite possibilities
