Yes I am an Orca
the ocean, is where
I live and play and fly away
happiness and despair
are how I feel about life
for this is where I be
I was born and raised
to be an orca in the sea
of course this is my habitat
I know this world
and I
feel it in my body
all around is why
I love the pod I live with
we know each other well
and being taken from them
it really is just Hell
the ocean has its currents
and other fish in shoals
the sand ,the rocks
the corals
and of course I have my roles
I defend the pod
and I feel so much
of what goes on
here
I
love my life and the ocean
this is the reason why
I am here
the greater god lets say
created us
and I
am part of it all
and I ply
this whole great ocean
with all its faults
for me its where I rule
the roost its what I know
Its how I feel
for the long haul
this is really what I am
and if someone comes to capture me
really Uncle Sam
has got to bloody realise
I won’t go there I must
stay here in the ocean
thats where I’ve got things
sussed
so Sea world and its many boats
its bombs its planes its stuff
they came along all those years ago
frankly I have had enough
I am upset with those bastards
for what they went and did
split us up and killed some of us
they lifted our lid
my mind was really racing
some of my friends they killed
they took them and filled them up with bricks
their precious blood they spilled
Yes I am orca yes I have a brain
Yes I have a memory
and I am not insane
yes I ‘m bloody angry
and its festered in my soul
but I am advanced being
and I am in control
I am angry
and I’m very sad
to have been hauled from the sea
and shipped off to this
concrete world
of complete adversity
its not my home
its not my place
it has not depth of soul
there’s other orca’s not in my pod
and we have to share that hole
we don’t speak the same language
we are Orca’s it is true
but we are captured orca’s
and we don’t know what to do
the ocean is now far away
its this tank surrounded by
loads of seats where screaming crowds
come and watch us fly
watch us do these silly tricks
we have such brains and we
can feel them we can know them
we can be them
but our plea
they do not hear
they do now want to know about
for they
are a senseless lot of humans
and they make us pay
heavily
we are prisoners
we are captive
we are lost
having to work for our measly meals
our lives have really cost
so much and its not fair to be
lost in this fucking soup
we are Orca’s ,killer whales
not a circus troop
we have massive feelings
we can sense so much
and we have to work for these morons
all so bloody out of touch
