Shark

Monsoon 2002 (Nelsprate hospital)



SHARK

It is hard to see the difference
Whether it is a dolphin or shark
Until you get inside the water.
Until you sink deep inside the water, and
Sense the coldness offshore.
That is when you will realize you were never sure.

Obligation and rules were brought about,
Once you notice the sharp teeth along
The smile you realize you made a bad choice. Only to find out you had no choice.
Rather than staring at suicidal thoughts.

Aquatic life is very dangerous
If you can't swim. You will drown
In dept while the shark is fishing for
Blood, in their wold is all about the
Price with interest rate mind's.

Day and night, time is money
To avoid stanza one think twice
Before you dive. Owe, Owe, owe,
Loan shark.

About this poem

Danger's of being in dept and fail to pay, cruelty of loan shark.
