Drowning Fish

If I saw a drowning fish,

Among a river bed--

I'd wonder what it is he'd miss?

The life he could have lead?

I would be sad to see this sight,

His struggle to find peace, 

But time and time I'd ask myself

Still stuck in disbelief--

How does one get so far off track

They don't know how to breathe?
