Deep into an ocean, I dived into a sea,
Looking for a life, supposedly free
The role, it was of a fish I must say,
A Small Fish I am, all’s well I pray
The life was tranquil with all the bed rock of views
Unaware I was of happenings on land and its news
Swimming and whiling so deep and large
No stresses I would say, nothing to barge
Not for long though, did it all last
A Big Fish knocked on me, finned me a splash
Gave me a stare and told me on my ears
The sea is mine, thank you please if you live on my terms
With a frowned head and squirming eyes
How can it be true, not able to surmise
The sea is mine, as much as yours,
Lets live a life, serene and pure
Then I saw a gaping mouth, broad and wide
A few of my fellow friends were swept into the tide
Lunch for the Big Fish, into his tummy
Scared I was, hell it was not funny
How to make a life, how to survive
I stopped going for my drives
Went into my cocoon, a small corner where no one would come,
The Big Brother came, how wrong was I, with a moan?
Where do you hide all the time?
Why don’t you come and see me fine !
Came the orders from the Big one Oh Brother,
Report to me by noon, no later
The Big One wants all his say
No decision one can make without his way
I have learnt the hard way it is
The world is for the big, not for the small please
Then wisdom came upon me, to strike a cord
I started saluting and going by the lord
Yes Fish I became, as there are Yes Men
Some space I got to breath, my gills did not go in vain
All across, the small one is pressed
One has to learn in this world of stress
The Big Fish has a say and a mighty laugh
Learning to live, in the world as a dwarf
Writing with a purpose
