voiceless

That fish in a bowl

freezing

burned by ammonia,

Lethargic

starving

yet people think that this how they are supposed to look. Skinny fins slowly dissolving

You keep on treating it this way until one day it jumps out of its bowl because it just can't stand it any more.

You think to yourself

This must be very rare

And you get a new one

All seems well until this one also jumps out of the bowl

And you think that you must have the worst luck in the world.

But you do some research

You found that the fish needs a tank bigger a heater and a filter

Then you ask yourself why did the store tell me i could keep in the bowl?

Then you realize that you could have saved your first fish if you had known.

Years pass you warn your friends and family not to make the same mistake you did

You are finally ready to get a new fish

You get everything you need then

The fish the best fish there is

And you named it finn

it lived for 4 years and never got sick

You went to work at a pet store so that you can stop the treatment of fish this way and be the voice for the voiceless

People think you are lying so that they have to spend more money

You get through to some people and they help to be the voice for the voiceless.
