A tensile strength of 90 newtons
stronger than the cow
crosswise rather than parallel
fish farms showed them how
it came aboutbfrom exotics
almost any creature can
provide its skin for humans
leather does begin
to find a special market place
the fineries of man
the fish provide some leverage
with sales margins
and the plan
is to increase the species
so many souks are killed
notbjust to eat
but to wear as well
by the so called elite
skin is a valuable commodity
its crucial to all life
it accounts for death and recipients
Their chance is one of strife
they are murdered in their millions
wasted so to say
their life force seen as more profitable
its criminal I say
