A butterfly flutters through a maze of waving tall grass
\nWeaving its course unafraid of any threat,
\nWhile dancing to the music of nature\u2019s breath.<\/p>\n
Perched on man-built pilings that hold back the Bay
\nA seagull patiently studies the incoming tide
\nFor the measly offerings polluted waters may abide.<\/p>\n
An old man sits on a rock like the bird on the pilings
\nHis young granddaughter holds tight the rod at his side
\nHer hair whisked cross her face like the wind on the tide.<\/p>\n
\u201cPapa, you\u2019ve caught one \u2013 the line is taut\u201d
\n\u201cNo,\u201d he responds, \u201cthe fish is too small.
\nOur table can suffer for the sake of all.\u201d<\/p>\n
