WE ARE FISHING

[MIRIAM JACOB]

WE ARE FISHING

I will go fishing,
Fishing in the sea of humanity,
Where all fishes are available,
And variety is the order of the day,
So please don't expect homogenuity.

We are all fishing,
Fishing in the sea of humanity,
Each of us in separate boats called race:
Mongolian, caucasian, hispanic, etc
Different in shapes, sizes and shades,
Yet buoyant in this sea.

You are fishing,
Fishing in the sea of humanity,
All our catch are known to us.
Moral, we all know; evil, we all know; virtue,we all know,
Perhaps the packaging: some are liberal,
some conservative,some are abstract.

We are all fishing,
Fishing in the sea of humanity,
Vast and wide it is,
Yet meant for everyone.
Your boat is best for you,
and don't ask me why I am in mine.
Perhaps, it is beyond me.

We are all fishing,
Fishing in the sea of humanity.
When there is a storm, all our boats capsize.
So we need to preserve the stillness in our sea,
Allow everyone to fish,
because not long from now, we all shall go on land
Our very home forever.
