The cove of death
breathes constant breath
up till september time
when the children play
in the torture bay
in Taiji where dolphins climb
up in the air over the nets
under the tarps
they ply
trapped in their pods
watched by the gods
and there in the bay they die
honour there is no honour
veneration there is none here
anyone paying homage
is overawed and clear
given consideration
to those sad souls who will
die in the arms of the fishermen
with their gaffs and their rods of steel
neglectful off-handed and cavalier
desecrated so
here in the bay
where the children play
the cove that runs red I hear
one has to be, disillusioned
and totally unimpressed
its withering to observe it
recriminatory and depressed
it really is unjustified
detracting from the whole
traducement on such a degree
to any parting soul
obstinacy unyielding
obduracy too
incorrigibility
what are they going to do
soon the cove will be bunged up
with the bodies of those souls
the dolphins lost and dying
rammed into those holes
the steel rods of the fishermen
the ugly nasty sods
who think nothing of the innocent
who know nothing of their gods
they have forgotten all of them
but will feel the wrath of time
the catastrophe of who are my friends
contained in this sweet rhyme
the thoughtlessness apparent
the inconsideration
the unthinking the incogitant
the irrational creation
someone isn’t thinking
someone doesn’t care
now the children romp and play
completely unaware
but by the 1st of September
when Taiji is forced
open they will see their foe
the seaside then divorced
from any pleasurable activity
irrational that would be
empty headed unthinking
uninventive obviously
the childrens little bodies
soaked up in the blood
of little baby Dolphins
their bodies in the flood
of blood and sickly sinew
of bones even and pain
mindlessly they suffer
having, broke the chain
Japan is so unfeeling
so obviously she’s lost
totally empty headed
whats to be the cost
the mindlessness of playing
in what will be a cove of blood
unimaginative behaviour
be wary of the flood
the evanescent peacefulness
how it will melt and fade
where little childrens voices were
where their bodies laid
soon the thrashing victims
will follow the parade
crying out in agony
victims clearly desolately
conscious of the therapy
which is clearly extra sensory
