Puget Sound
and areas of ocean
great depth and vast surroundings
they enjoy
miles and miles of coastline
in which to forage
awesome beauty
Orca’s do employ
pods of them all socialize
and show us
just how playful and intuitive they are
the environment they live in
is spectacular
and clearly in that state
they are a star
performing as they have done
there for ever
their freedom is their sole
creative urge
how they live their lives
its an education
compare that with
the vileness and the dirge
that we hear as the creatures
have been captured
and thrust into a concrete
tank where they
go round and round
and round and round
in what is a dead bowl of soup
and so they pay
with a madness that affects
their very being
no family ties
no education there
becoming a cash cow
for corporatations
we have to really all ask ourselves
how
Sea World and the rest of them
can sleep at night
imprisoning these wild souls
every day
feeding them on dead fish
if they learn the tricks
in a nutshell making those souls pay
their freedom it is lost
their interaction
their foraging
the life of wildness
in the ocean blue
how can that be compared
to a rotten tank
and trainers who are brainwashed
through and through
