Manta Ray

The magnificent manta is losing his mind

Fighting a current, he’s falling behind

Swim faster, work harder, it’s all he can hear

As all of his mates strive to reach the top tier

Obsessed with ideals, chasing status and wealth

What ever happened to happiness and health?

His head so noisy, full of thoughts and chatter

Of little things that really don’t matter

He knows he needs to stop and reset

To break this cycle, find a new mind set

So he dives down deep to the coral reef

With a belly full of breath he finds relief
