Revolt of the Sharks

Revolt of the Sharks

In Okinawa, the sharks, the rays,
and the barracuda are in the deep conference
The sharks had had enough of their prison.
They were getting hungry for human meat.

They decide that if they all charge
the tank they can crash the tank,
and be swept out into the ocean
and they can eat human steaks along the way.

I wrote this after a visit to the Okinawa aquarium in 2019 and saw the sharks looking at me with hunger in their eyes.
