The Grey Nurse Shark

The grey nurse shark,
Big and silent, watching over the ocean like a carer
Silently floating, a smooth grey cloud
Sharp teeth, in rows and rows,
cutting through the wet water,
Gliding with elegance
Holding a mighty presence
Although majestic and peaceful,
Humankind saw danger in their eyes
And so with spear, knife and gun, they were fearfully hunted down
Wrongfully convicted, prisoners of the sea
