One Fish

The glistening lake

A place for fisherman to catch and take

The ocean glows blood red violet and lime 

As the fish get hunted at night

The animals in the ocean water

Get caught and slaughtered

As the line goes down the salty water

The animals swim in worry

The animals in the sea could die each day

Because the predators hunt them down

So many fish die by humans

And are sold in the market for pennies

I wonder what the fish would think

“Why are the humans catching so many?”

The sun goes down

Glimpses of bright orange, yellow and red fill the sky

You may not think there is a difference

But if you catch one fish and throw it back

It is a difference to that one fish
