The Fish And The Villagers
There was a fish in the water hole
Where the villagers drink
Everything was cool
As long as no one thought a thing
Towards the fish
No one did go
As long as they didn't
The water was clean
But then came the plot
To catch the fish
And end it in the pot
or so they wished
Before they could strike
Their move had been seen
The fish made a dive
Rendered the water unclean
Now they can't see the fish
From the water they can be seen
Knife,spoon and dish
And all they had within
The relationship is now severed
Trust has been breached
The water hole will never be clear
And men will never drink
For anytime they come close
The fish in fear of slaughter
Raise some cover dust
And unsettle the water
Where the villagers drink
Everything was cool
As long as no one thought a thing
Towards the fish
No one did go
As long as they didn't
The water was clean
But then came the plot
To catch the fish
And end it in the pot
or so they wished
Before they could strike
Their move had been seen
The fish made a dive
Rendered the water unclean
Now they can't see the fish
From the water they can be seen
Knife,spoon and dish
And all they had within
The relationship is now severed
Trust has been breached
The water hole will never be clear
And men will never drink
For anytime they come close
The fish in fear of slaughter
Raise some cover dust
And unsettle the water
