Anyone whose sailed the sea
seen the films know how they be
out there in the waves each day
enjoying life and extensive play
these are souls who live life to the full
and they have an excessive pull
on our emotions when we see
the exhilaration constantly
The Faroe Islanders and the Japanese
locked up in their prisons seize
a kind of hatred and they try
to kill the spirit and deny
the wild wild souls their chance to play
which is what they do all day
a kind of envy a bitter streak
of jealousy and a vile pique
comes over those repressed souls who
are regimented all life through
so what they do traditionally
is both of them go to the sea
capture the darlings one by one
and imprison them and when that’s done
take their knives and slaughter fast
so the playful stuff is in their past
its an evil and a repulsive trait
from those who really take the bait
they let their evil take control
and take it out on the sweetest soul
it sickens me and its sicken all
who see the carnage and each ghoul
committing what we know is wrong
truthfully does not belong
on this planet and so we say
Please leave them alone and let them play
