A mother lamenting her lost daughter

I am beside myself
what can I do
they just took my baby out
smashed her in two
she loved my milk
it was rich it was warm
till the men came
along and brought a great storm
guiltless they are
with their great sticks
they smash
down on her head
with an enormous crash
he split it sideways
her brain spliced into
the Canadian Government
if you look through
each of their names
yes every year
they are all heartless
so it does appear

they care not for wild life
its our skins they need
and they employ these
louts who are bound to succeed
I look at her
she lies sideways on the ice
blood spurting from her
how is this nice
for a mother to see
for her child murdered by
men in the pay
of officials who lie

they say we eat fish
well we do but not much
there more fish in the sea
there’s clearly such
enormous pickings
but that’s all a lie
they want to sell all the fish
and our skins too that’s why

to make loads of money
where does that leave
us, we are doomed
our souls we retrieve
from the ice and we fly
somewhere’s else far away
where the people appreciate us
more each day

Canada truly is sinful and sad
psychopaths rule and of course that is bad
seal skins are worn by the arrogant few
who take advantage of many
but then just screw you

these are the kind of sods
we see in power
tar sands look no hands
the final hour
we are the victims
of this day and age
whether stuck on the ice
or stuck in some cage
