Aqua Opinion

The boy looks at the fish in the aquarium.

The fish looks at the boy.from the aquarium

The boy expresses his opinion and the fish listens.

The fish expresses its opinion and the boy listens....................

The opinion of the boy  -

Star fish on the glass,
On the bed a coin of brass.
A scuba toy bubble at you,
Crawling crab in their too.
Magical fishes tail and fin,
I even spot an identical twin.
Green algae tinge so light,
Turtle floating in delight.
Fragment of lost treasure chest,
A gray-white pebble nest ......

An ocean within a box contained
Ocean's Pandora for all sustained
"An aquarium", to capture the sea
More beautiful an idea cannot be !!


The opinion of the fish -

An ocean in a jail,
Beyond box cannot sail.
No friend of my alike,
Oh what a closed life !

No waves and no tides,
Nothing new comes in sight,
Same stone and same sound,
Swim again the same round.
Same food all day night,
No new companion in sight.

Freedom is too much to ask,
Dead is life with no task.
No choices in it to make,
No new direction there to take,
Life out of me I cannot shake,
Alas! the glass will not break.

Looking at me exclaims the boy
Other side of glass, the world is coy
For others I am a toy
It is said -
One's misery is another's joy !!
