Taiji

The clock is ticking ominously
toward resumption here
in Taiji the few fishermen
who the Dolphins clearly fear
will soon be heading from the coast
armed with their metal pipes
banging them, confusing the dolphins
with the swipes
that throw the Dolphin nation into
such a frightened state
they are then easily driven into the cove
to await their fate

the holocaust that slaughters them
each one of them will be
sliced to ribbons bleeding exposing
infamy
they are cruel beyond the point of no return
despite what Fukashima is spewing
and we learn
that the seas are radioactive and the fish
are bound to be
loaded with the chemicals as well
which we can see

and still the bloody fishermen
go out and kill and maim
still they resolutely threaten and inflame
the activists now watching
who know that soon there will be
blood and guts and death and dark destruction
in the sea
Dolphins never leave an injured relative
unlike man un kind who runs like hell
they will just be slaughtered willy nilly all of them are hero’s
we’ve heard tell

Ric o Barry and his band of people
will protest long and hard, Sea Shepherd too
but the people of Taiji they never will agree
their loss of face and the western souls can screw
their faces up and remonstrate for ever
the only way to stop this is to see
another Minimata threatening Japan
but until that happens it just has to be

we can use expletives sob into our cream
forgetting in our slaughterhouses
there’s a constant stream
of animals
all innocent going to their death
we scream about the dolphins
and they say go save your breath

your a bunch of killers
in every place on earth
slaughtering is taking place
all it seems have worth
but you concentrate your minds
here
exposing what we do
you are a bunch of hypocrites
that’s the Taijian’s view

so now we have to hope and pray
that the Fukashima mess
will stop this bloody carnage
and hopefully redress
the balance for the Dolphins
for tragically its true
all the while
we all kill in style
the Japanese want to too
