Law made in the seventies
All those years ago
Broken by the whalers
Who really ought to know
Really there are no loopholes
Unlawfulness is that
Blue whales were protected
And that is where they are at
Recently a thirty footer
Was hunted and was brought
Back to iceland to be processed
The felony was caught
On camera the whale meat
Was bound for old japan
Who do catch their own blue whales
Despite a world wide ban
Japan Iceland and Norway
Are pariahs and they ought
To be reported to all tourists
That their insolence has caught
Up with them the people
Want protection for the whales
They pay to go and see them
So murdering them fails
On all counts thats for certain
Endangered as they are
There is no legitimacy
To harpoon and to scar
What is the massive miracle
Of creation everywhere
And to murder them and process them
It encourages despair
They are now riddled with plastics
With mercury galore
With PCB’s and fire retardents
And a whole lot more
In reality they are toxic waste
In the body of the whale
Suffering like crazy
From their great heads to their tail
Japan Norway and Iceland
Are not starving anymore
Living in a time warp
Nor in the throes of war
Abandoning all decency
Being self- indulgent they
Should spare these beautiful creatures
pet foods are not the way
The world should be abstaining
A lot more self control
Besides the world has stopped all this
Its not good for the soul
The food is never spiritual
Its causative of pain
Repent just show compunction
For so many the disdain
Zen the way of being
The philosophy of mind
Deliberative and reflective
Lets try to unwind
Enlightenment requires deep thought
The visionaries of old
Contemplating greater things
Than really what you have sold
The chopped up processed bodies
The blubber and the meat
The life force all those miracles
That were wholly complete
Eco ethic a resource giving back so much
An integral part of the biosphere
That recognises touch
Wasting them on shipments
To Japan what do they do
The japanese are sick and tired
Of whale meat very few
Eat it they too show respect
To the Wider world
and the whale killing pariahs
Now they should be hurled
Onto the world stage
So that every tourist deciding to go
To one those countries is made aware
Of their murdering cruelty
