Fish Don't See Water

It's always been that fish never see the water
Flowing over their eyeballs day & night.
However you try there's no way to make
A fish see water -- O, you Fish!

Human fish pass through the world the same way.
Has there ever been one who saw
The world clearly just as it is, without
getting caught in the world's tricky net?

The word "see" is taken in many ways;
Fools claim to see even a single hair.
Why don't they see this disease infested world?
If you wonder, ponder well, these fishy matters.
