Oh! I have done quite a bit of fishing in my life<\/p>\n
Always at the end of the line<\/p>\n
Holding on to pieces of time<\/p>\n
Mingling for the right catch night after night<\/p>\n
Taken ample time to prepare each asset<\/p>\n
To become the unattainable yet desirable bait<\/p>\n
Just so there would be something worthy for man to eventually put on his \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 plate.<\/p>\n
I have played by the rules of the game<\/p>\n
Learned traditional chores, hobbies, technique<\/p>\n
Encompassed\u00a0in the tackle box known as me<\/p>\n
Worked hard and accepted less pay<\/p>\n
All in yearning to be treated, respected the same<\/p>\n
I have tears and sweat and scars where smiles should be<\/p>\n
Brought forth human life from inside me<\/p>\n
But each time the line sways back, and drops,<\/p>\n
I can’t help but wonder how far we have really come<\/p>\n
I am not your sport fish, I am your bait<\/p>\n
In all the\u00a0competing mankind just figured out way to late.<\/p>\n
