ONCE...BUT NOT AGAIN
Most probably I would not
'We' would actually not
I mean!it would be hard
Without you...
As a daisy you are,
Fresh and pretty, friendly
Loving and amazing, charming
Oh!I just can't bear this!
They want to take you from me
Closing tight the door to our friendship
Starting to get fond we were
Never will I accept!!
A world without you would be dull
The switch of the earth would burn
No light, darkness, sadness...I swear!
'cause without you...!
I wish you would have taught me earlier,
Your tricks and fashions,now it's late
I had the zeal to learn your tactics
You're great,in fact teach me how to swim.
Your fins as well as your gills are pretty
Your eyes magnify the true sense of beauty
Spread out on your perfect body
'We' were just fine,why now?
The "beads" that peep out
and gather to form a flood,
in our very own eyes
can't be swept away or even be drained.
It is night but the gem shines out,
It is unique from the rest
It glows even in the sun
And that's you!
A world without fish is unrealistic
Though your generation is being erased
Procreate and fill the universe still
We need 'more of you'
Words cannot express,
the love rooted in our hearts
Coz you're simply so exceptional
In our hearts you will forever remain
You have travelled the world
You've seen a lot, you are famous
Never have I set foot on the airplane stair
Or even close to the plane figure itself
But you...!
Never have I got to hug the air of wealth
Perfection in finality!
You are in kings' bedrooms,palaces
In posh,deluxe eateries you don't miss
Presidents' chambers...you rule fish!!
A world without you, I would die!
You are of such a peculiar aura
Clad with august perfection
You are 'au-naturel',
Nothing added, nothing removed
You are pre-eminent
Your eminence is great
I argue with them that try to 'extinct' you
That it would also affect them
If they did away with you,
Without you fish, honestly we would not survive!!!
