in the murky water


The fish head swims
In the murky water to hide
The preying eyes of the stray cats
Watching its every movements

The barking dogs will guard
The eyes red with snarling long teeth
It tells they aren't to be played with
The barking dogs will protect its interests

The fat free bones
The barking dogs take along
An exchange for the luxury
Even though it is crumb

The road sweepers will chase away
The stray cats courting near the pond
There is no way the road sweepers will allow
The cats waste making them cursing hot and dry

The fish head splashes up and down
The simple way of buying freedom
In the murky water nobody knows
What hide there at the bottom?
