The shark’s reputation precedes him,
demonized in the minds of millions,

and be a villain–‘
So step back,

those who think
they know better;
Your power is temporal,
so brief,
whilst the shark’s honest instinct
is ageless, only taking its due.

*Quotation from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 5, line 108.
