Great White Shark

We have been around

For millions of years.

Swimming silently    

Swiftly

Smoothly.

Gliding about in the ocean

Crystal clear water keeps us hidden.

“Evade the nets,”

“Evade the dolphins,”

“Evade the fisherfolk,” our mothers warn.

We are afraid

Scared

Of the dangers on the land.

Fisherfolks are ferocious monsters

Coming

To take us away

Forever.
