Its kind of counter productive
a sort of simple maze
complex patterns out there
its a kind of languid phase
Dolphins are now becoming
scapegoats in a way
their flesh is bloody toxic
so eating it today
draws in what Minamata created long ago
the threat of serious ill health
which is not the way to go
the Japanese some of them
have woken up and they
recall the Minamata incident
and so now they say
Taiji and coastal catchings
are drawing back the time
when mercury and methyl mercury
levels so did climb
add to that radiation
from Fukashima power
and we have all got such perils
hitting us every hour
and giving it to children
its tragic and so wrong
we have to stop this madness
for its going on too long
we are not a bunch of robots
we have minds and must be seen
to save our children and ourselves
and not be so obscene
for it is an obscenity
to slaughter as they do
to cut and thrust
such deep disgust
is now running through
the veins of all the protesters
and there were many there
many many many
all proving that they care
The land it is said of the rising sun
depicts a ball of blood
I assume that its from the Dolphin tribe
slaughtered in the flood
the murdering of whole families
the regular killing spree
the shattering world of the japanese
killings at Taiji
