One day a fish fell into a net, she swallowed a ledger-bait

She hangs on a line and wants to save herself

Her friends proposed her a help, while Fisher doesn’t see

But Fish said no, she dreamed to see the light

To see the starlit night and rays of sun that gives the warm

Fish dreamed to fly in the blue sky, to taste a lucky star

Her family warned of this plan, it isn’t worthy of life!

But fish decided firmly and swallowed deeply a bait

And she is flying in the sky and lights were in her eyes

Because of happiness she even stopped to breath,

but the price of it was life

The fisher kept her in his hand and boasted of his catch

But foolish Fish was thrilled with such gladness…

It’s time to fry the Fish on the pan, she fancied it’s the sun

The world goes dark before her eyes of burning on a pan

And dish her up in so reach plate; there is a lot of fish

At her last gasp, she changes her mind and understood her error

We often are entrapped of gain that isn’t salt of the earth

We can not hear our mind; we look to castle-building

We look to the nonexistent world and at the expense of life…
