The earth is like a giant fish bowl

The earth is like a giant fish bowl,

and like gold fish

we’re contained.

Living life in just one bowl,

confined

by an invisible pane.

Nobodies leaving,

were all here together,

So why would you want to disturb;

The interaction between

us and the animals

within the balance of nature.

The earth is like a giant fish bowl.
