River Fishes Die In Opulent Glass Aquariums

River Fishes Die In Opulent Glass Aquariums, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

i tried
to swim
dashing
my hopes
in glass walls
illusions on
every rim
his masters
voice whim
enslaved
to a pseudonym
i saved my soul
i jumped out
of the aquarium
into the gutter
broken limbs
now life is
back to nature
freedom not
for sale anymore
nor death
on the brink..
no tetra bites
no humpy head
no more
de chlorinated
poison to drink
