Joaquin Pheonix

what you describe from your
fishing trip was reality for you
for a sensitive individual
who sees and thinks and the view
is clearly very obvious
with a fighting fish thats hauled
out of the ocean its place of birth
its mindful its not fooled
it knows whats about to happen
its going to run out of air
we smack it on the side of the boat
we are anything but fair
to one of god’s creations
no different from ourselves
argueably a better swimmer
but if one kind of delves
into the mind of this frantic fish
the fear factor is there
but us well we are humans
just sod their despair
they dont have any feelings
their fish the food we eat
smash them crash them bash them
we are the elite!

Well Joaquin was eally human
he realised how fraught
these souls were being hauled up
from the ocean depths so caught
up in human ugliness
he realised the pain
to any thinking caring soul
why would that be in vain

its conditioning on video’s
on the television screen
the Master Chefs who murder fish
and pull of the skin, its been
planyted in our psyche
that food is food and we
can murder maim and slaughter
and if we do not see

no matter who cares its a fish
a crab a lobster they
were put here to be slaughtered
by the humans every day
we have the dominion thats the christian’s roar
no one has the right to kill
and torture thats for sure

I agree with Joaquin
what he says is right
all of us need talking to
we need to see the light
we need to realize the pain is pain
whoever feels
and cutting off a fishes head
really just reveals

how bloody well insensitive
the human has become
pulling the claws off crabs and lobsters
maybe they seem dumb
they cannot cry out possibly
actually they do
but with our bunged up earoles
we just take the view

its squeaking from their joints or something
thats if we think at all
we are a murdering bunch of assholes
who should all go back to school
and sing the hymn we all sang
all creatures great and small
all things bright and beautiful the
lord goddess made them all
