We’re All in the Same Boat

-a very short story-

Two blue boats with yellow stripes,

Five ethnic ornament boats,

A yellow boat with a red-party flag,

One green boat :

are dancing boats on the waves..

Dancing with some tangled on its motion

While the sound of the waves gives them

a screechy rhytm...

and the smell of the sea,

screams so loud,

rush, run and angry

come out from the seabed..

albeit the day are getting darker

with some stars on the sky,

No one come to the boat,

or even to the seacoast..

--

The silent night on the sea...

Hurts the desperate fishes,

Prawns and,

Crabs,

No one will pick them up

to the prize ring in the sea,

to fights with the fishing hook,

or run from the fishing nets..

the sands on the fishy seacoast

close its eyes

and just drifting out..

missing the tough footprints

on its body..

They are waiting

and can’t do anything..

--

In the coast village,

Those brave men on the sea

are vigil and arrange some actions

To protest the increasing of the oil prices

--

Everybody hates the silent night on the sea.

Oh beautiful boats,

Sands,

Fishes,

Praws,

We Are All in the Same Boat,

We Hate the Silent Night on the Sea..
