Analysis of Little Minnows
Little minnows
Little stream
Bright green watercrests
Line the rocks in the water.
I watched the little minnows
Race and play.
So clean, so healthy, so full of life
Survivors of 4 billion years
Earthlings
Live-die, live-die
Eat or be eaten
I can't save you
Maybe one or two in my fish bowl
Good luck
Thanks for being there today!
