Ouch, Oh God it hurts It is difficult to breath I’ve been torn asunder I am wriggling and swiggling Then held in a vice Almost ripped apart As the hook is pulled out.
I am almost dead With two bulging eyes Injured and bleeding A pitiful sight, Then thrown back in Ah, that feels much better I’ll rest on my back Until I recover.
The pain is so bad My jaw broken in half Unable to forage To look for food. I wish to God That I had died at The beginning, For I will starve to Death now Or be eaten by others.
It is a mystery to me Why this is considered so sporting When I’m lying here bleeding Suffering and hurting. Will they ever dwell on the Cost of their deed or Must they await until were Almost extinct.
God made us all to be Wild and free And He gave us our rivers To swim and our seas. He gave us our feelings To sense hurt and pain But He gave man understanding And dominion to rein.
We were to be food for The starving and hungry Not lying here dying for No sense or purpose.
My senses are dulled It must be the end, Only time to say goodbye To my friends. Ah, it is so peaceful now Just floating away That is Jesus in heaven Calling my name.

About this poem:
This must be how a poor fish feels when fishing is carried out in the name of sport. Is this humane?
