Kirara (captive Pacific white sided Dolphin)

Born in Kamogawa SeaWorld in Japan

from wild parents this Pacific Dolphin

forms a plan

to ship him into Texas

SeaWorld Antonio

22 hours transit time

in a small crate as we know

the stress will be fantastic

a vet will go along

but Kirara will need all his strength

such movements now are wrong

22 hours transit

that’s demanding as we know

and for Dolphins out of water

it  really is a blow

the tedium is awful

the inactivity

its irksome and unvarying

and  such banality

it will take all his endurance

for anguish will set in

the frustration the tribulation

its like flying in a tin

sorrowful and heavy laden

care worn woebegon

artlessness and nonchalance

its the callous cloak they are in

the permission has been granted

the Dolphins free to go

whilst enslaved in a crate of course

somewhere he doesn’t know

perhaps some claustrophobia

which with time just may grow

the dolphin will be fearful

will have a despondency

disconsolate and comfortless

knowing he’s not free

the corporation blunderbus

is cocked and on the stage

ready to be exploited

just another on the page

of course broken spirited

chastened crushed and left

dejected and its detected

probably bereft

of any true respect

for sea world sees them as cash cows

a showy pompous stagy event

that really just allows

Seaworld to make money

selling shamu’s and the like

honouring the parents

and its all done through the mike

with all the sea world swagger

the self glory and the rest

the puffery and stuffery

bluster now at best

ominous persuasions

based on fictional crap

a pitiless contraption

that just falls in their lap

from one tank to another tank

a disrespectful rant

a vast degeneration

viwed as somewhat scant

he will be a star performer

a paragon lets say

really infringing no one

despite all that they say
