Although we are always a fish, we can be a "big fish" or a "small fish." We can live in a pond or an ocean. What will you rather be a "big fish" with a lot of power in a pond or a "small fish" in an ocean with a lot of possibilities for growth?
Some persons wonder
What sort of fish
They are
- – -
They figure
You can either be
A big fish in a small pond
Or a small fish in an ocean
- – -
Some of us take our chances
And plunge into the ocean
Where there are a myriad
Of experiences
- – -
These say: “To hell with being big”
Embracing freedoms
Exploring new ideas
And being challenged
They see themselves growing
- – -
Others say: “Forget about the ocean
I’ll play it safe within a pond. I’ll be
King of the Jungle”
- – -
They see no one
Able to challenge them
They become authoritarian
And their word is final
- – -
So think about it
Who would you rather be?
Chief of an African village
Or just another Joe
With opportunities to grow
In a vast country like America
