Fish not worth the eating ...
Ecclesiastes 9:12
12 Surely, no one knows his appointed time! Like fish that are caught in a deadly net, and like birds that are caught in a snare— just like them, all people are ensnared at an unfortunate time that falls upon them suddenly.
Fish not worth eating
Somewhere in the ocean ... is a fish like me
Resting in the mud ... waiting for a meal
Moving now and then ... to attract the free
Who wallow here ... without too much appeal
Somewhere in the deep ... a search for satisfaction
Easily found at times ... but always moving on
Many scrapes and scars ... are on its outer-side
From the claws of us ... who are trying to hang on
Sometimes at the surface ... we float of as off-white scum
Polluting the surrounding ... with our helpless cause
Driven by winds of time ... until we hit the beaches
To be left there as a vapor ... to disappear in trackless sand
