Teach a person to fish and
They will eat for life...
Though their children may perish
In the shadow of your debt,
Your children may starve and die,
In the fish deficits.
Give a person a lake and they might
Overfish until
They will realise just what is at stake.
Give a person a lake, let them overfish,
Let the fish stocks deplete,
Let life perish...
Teach a person to treat the lake as if...
It is an integral part of of their own existence,
Sustenance can only be dealt when a person is
Taught to take ownership of
That which they inherit.
Teach a person to create real growth or deficit.
Honour the lake and the fish as thyself...
Teach a person to live in alignment
With self and other..
A balanced and nourished life...
Teach a person to live in harmony...
By understanding
The needs of the self, the fish and the lake...
Eternal sustenance is something -
To believe, to commit to, to desire and create.
