Se Os Tubarões Fossem Homens

If sharks were men, they would build sturdy sea boxes
For the small fish with all kinds of food inside
Both vegetables and animals

They would ensure that the boxes had constantly renewed water
And take all sanitary measures
If for example a small fish injured its fin
Immediately they would bandage it so they wouldn't die prematurely

So that the small fish wouldn't become sad
They would throw an aquatic party here and there
Because happy fish taste better than sad ones

Naturally, there would also be schools in the large boxes
In these classes, the small fish would learn
How to swim to the sharks' throats

They would learn, for example, to use geography
In order to find the large sharks, lazily lying around
The main lesson would naturally be the moral education of the small fish

They would be taught that the greatest and most beautiful act
Is the joyful sacrifice of a small fish
And that they should all believe in the sharks
Especially when they say they are looking out for the bright future of the small fish

It would be ingrained in the small fish that this future
Would only be guaranteed if they learned obedience

Above all, the small fish should guard against
Any low, materialistic, selfish, and Marxist inclinations
And would immediately report to the sharks if any of them
Showed these inclinations

If sharks were men, they would naturally wage war among themselves
To conquer fish boxes and foreign small fish

The wars would be conducted by their own small fish
They would teach the small fish that among them
The small fish from other sharks are vastly different
They would announce that the small fish are known to be mute
And speak in various languages, making it impossible for them to understand each other

Every small fish that in war killed some enemy small fish
From the other silent language, would be decorated
With a small order of algae and receive the title of hero

If sharks were men, there would also naturally be art among them
There would be beautiful paintings, where the sharks' teeth would be painted in bright colors
And their throats would be depicted as innocent playgrounds
Where one could play magnificently

The underwater theaters would show how the brave small fish
Swim enthusiastically towards the sharks' throats

The music would be so beautiful, so beautiful that the small fish
Under its chords, the orchestra in front would enter in mass
Into the throats of the dreamy sharks possessed by the most pleasant thoughts

There would also be a religion there

If sharks were men, it would teach this religion and only in the sharks' bellies would life truly begin

Furthermore, if sharks were men, the equality that exists among the small fish today would also end, some of them would obtain positions and be placed above the others

Those who were slightly larger could even eat the smaller ones, this would only be pleasing to the sharks as they themselves would thus constantly obtain larger pieces to devour and the larger small fish holding the positions would be worth by order among the small fish so that they would become, teachers, officers, box construction engineers, and so on

Concise and Considerable, only then would there be civilization in the sea
If sharks were men
