PrisonersA Poem by OscarMannShould 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 © 2015 OscarMann |
