Piscean Supplication
If they could speak
and had arms,
fish would raise them
in supplication
that humans not
cause them
suffering suffocation.
*
Vegan and vegetarian Californians are taxed
to promote the state's sponsorship of fishing
contests in which children are taught to
suffocate fish and/or to rip out part of their
throats in removing hooks. This is true of many
other states as well.
