Amazing schools of fish
so mesmerizing in perfect harmony.
Then a shark comes along
and everyone scatters in fear
but also somehow mesmerized
by the beauty of the shark
in the dark shadows
so gloomy
never going to the light
like other fish
like it is in its own little world.

And mesmerized
by how the fish can
swish
their fins so gracefully in the water.

The shark hears humans saying something
that he hopes is something good about him.
How do you feel shark?

But no one gives you a chance.
How do you feel by getting taken away
from your home without a say?
You are mesmerizing to many animals.
Does that make you feel very powerful or like you are weird?

You are fabulous shark
So why are you so sad?
You are so strong

so why don’t you look so proud like lions and tigers
who are so powerful just like you?
You make kids so happy learning about you.
How does that make you feel?
You are so mesmerizing to so many
Things.

you are strong so why stay in the shadows
instead of stepping into the light?
Everything about you is calm, mesmerizing, sad,
and also fabulous.
