THE SELUANG

 

THE SELUANG

 

Please God

Give me the wisdom

To understand it all

Why the seluang frail and small

Made to fight the tide and to struggle

Braving the meanders

And pebbles

Tearing scales of his chest

And wounded breast.

 

After a long journey

He reaches and unfamiliar beach

Exhausted and lonely

Regretting and longing for home

Thus, with the rest of his life

He battles against the current

To make a return

 

Please God

Give me the wisdom

To understand it all

Why the fish so frail and small

With life so short

And body so tender

Must fight the odds

In the mighty water.
