“Net Seas”
“Between you and me,” the fish begins gasping “This here used to be a spot swimming with talent,” The glint in his nacreous pearls fades from the eyes into stygian blackness at the changing of tides. “New waves would arrive, but old schools wouldn’t adapt,” The grey he now glides through hid its colourful past. A lusciously lavish lime-green grows festered with fauna as young whippersnappers seek less treacherous waters. The septic old stalwarts are stuck in their ways full of selfish importance and reluctant to change. They love to inflate their worth to excess in verbatim too stubborn to make way for the next generation. Those set in their ways want to keep what they have - with the rest relegated to feed off their scraps. The green-gilled that gather can’t afford to be different so they eat up the chance of each morsel they’re given. There’s a war of attrition bubbling already amidst them as it’s poor eco-system brings the threat of extinction. The real enemy isn’t sharing space in the pond - but in letting its visitors stagnate for too long. When the greyfish are gone, I’ll carry this place on my back despite my aging accomplishments or the weight of the task. But it takes a collaborative effort for our scene to survive and we must sustain what we have to help us keep it alive. I’m breathing new life into it, whether as big as some think or a meaningless fry, but either way - I’m still just a fish. You sink or you swim, the size of the pond our sort inhibit is insignificant, it’s little fish that make all the difference.

Ya this is dope. Short verses that say a lot with less words are refreshing.
