I am a fish
Born to fresh water.
Living an ordinary life
Not as ordinary as u think.
Being poor in river
Being rich in aquarium
Seen both extent of life,
To march forward.
My beauty attracts you
And I can make you sew
Fine lines on my body
Pay my way to new world
My cycle of life,
Is an open book
Fascinating many to study
To discover something steady
These days myself a star,
Among the scientists in war
Giving up my body,
To mark my name in history
My name is simple,
Resemble an animal
Use my name in roads
To safeguard yourself
Guess who I am.
