Upstream
Slide into groove; the river rhythm plays-
The path is smooth for a trout headed for slaughter.
Path of least resistance for reckless fools,
Far from the foolishness of leaping salmons-
Foolishness, as they call it.
Escape. The swift swim against the current,
A torpedo trained on its target- heart dead set.
Yet the life and pow'r coursing through his veins
Is passion.
There are many fish in the ocean.
But this fish is a river fish, not meant for ocean fish.
This fish has a higher calling-
This fish is swimming
Upstream.
