I’m fish

I’m the child happy
The Mother Ocean,
The innocent, mischievous
Of the wave, currents.

I’m silverfish
Who lives in harmony
In this midst moving
Whose outcome is life.

In these places of silence,
I made who I am,
Just wise presence,
Being a being of life.

I ask nothing
Like to be the ephemeral
My humble destiny,
Swimming with my brothers.

But I don’t understand
What’s happening to me here
When in a big crash
Everything changes in my life.

A net imprisons me,
Keeping me crushed
And fright I shudder,
Cannot set me free.

And suddenly, I fall
I feel the pain
At my brothers neighbors
And I’m suffocating and I’m dying.

And my flank rips
While still conscious
Mouths of vampires
Drain me of my blood.

I’m not sending out a sound…
Are they not aware
Those who have the right
That spill my blood
And the one of my brothers
In Rivers on a bridge
Stab in the heart my mother,
His children by the millions? !!

Yes I’m a fish,
I scream in silence
But for you what good
In your indifference.

Look beyond
Of all your prejudices
Who deny my being here
In your pantry.

I’m me, I’m life
Among all my friends
Who want to live here
But not a agony.

It is the child happy
The Mother Ocean,
Let’s stop being forgetful
He is our parent.”
