A pen of dolphins captured
slaughtered in cold blood
they don’t know of empathy
the victims of the flood
Japan looks to its laurels
but truthfully it knows
Taiji is just an evil place
where dolphins blood just flows
the market is a sordid place
where about anything goes
pithing is a vile obnoxious death
its sick and slow
carried out by torturers
who now don”t want to know
when activists point out the dark and callous
methods used
on intelligent and innocent creatures
being terribly abused
submitting to such anger
the slavishness of attack
surrendering their precious lives
and taking all the flack
Japan turns us away
talks about our abattoirs
also our dismay
and says what it is doing
is cultural
what I say
is Japan is worse than evil
and is going to pay
a price so high for certain for letting its people
kill
dolphins now so brutally
their purest blood they spill
and just because of tradition
they are packed with mercury
with fukashima radiation
and the PCB
triple toxic dolphin flesh
is selling in the stores
minamata will come back
to a rather sad applause
the government could stop this
before the shiot hits ther fan
and children do start dyinG
but maybe that is their plan
