As I rush through the water,
With my daughter,
I feel the water gently tickle my fins,
Now,
I’m ready for my day to begin.
As the sun pierces the waters veil,
I feel it warm my tail.
The beauty I see,
It never fails.
I glide through this water,
The beauty does not falter.
I see beings big and small,
With cliffs that are a great fall.
I see bright colors flash,
As school’s pass.
I see hues of green and blue,
That ensue,
As I chase down todays food.
I see a little bit so,
I bite!
Little did I know,
It was for my life I would have to fight.
A sharp pain pierces my flesh,
Fear and pain are meshed.
A hook tears my face,
I am gone without a trace.
Ripped from the water,
Away from my daughter,
I fear I will be slaughtered.
I cannot breathe,
I cannot scream,
These creatures are so mean.
I lay here dying and,
They laugh about frying [me].
My death they find fun but,
This is no witty pun.
I am dying slowly,
These creatures are lowly.
My blood runs down my face,
I wish I did not have to die in this place.
In this puddle of blood,
I lay,
I know this is my final day.
My body burns,
As I grasp for my last breath.
This is my death……
They laugh and they joke,
With a knife they begin to poke.
Oh if only I could have spoke!
As my body flops,
My hearts stops.
My world turns black,
There is no going back.
My daughter is now alone,
As they leave nothing left but my bones and,
Sit on their murderous thrones.
Please remember my story,
Though,
It is a bit gory.
Murder is not to entertain,
Please do not let my death be in vain.
Life must be sustained.
