They Gave Us Fish Poem by Tony Adah

They Gave Us Fish



They gave us fish and enough of it
We didn't know where the fish came from,
Where it lived
Up or down
We felt real good eating fish.

When the givers stopped
We felt sore hungry
And angry
Reminiscent of the Mannas gone
We are at the crossroads
The men are not there
And the fish is gone
To where I do not know.
