Taiji and its Dolphins

Dolphins in the water

cordoned off are they

the pithing tool is forced

into their spines

thats when we say

the Japanese are cruel

the nastiest deaths that ever were

perpetrated on the highly intelligent

we stir

in our sleep

of a million years

the god and goddesses say

we cannot watch this anymore

the sea runs red today

sinews stripped

I remain tight lipped

my heart is beating strong

the cove was blue

now what to do

of course shinzo its wrong

dont talk to me of culture

of tradition or support

of what’s been handed down from

ancestors

I am sadly caught

up in the emotion

as another Dolphin screams

and bleeds out

shaking wildly

asking me what its all

about
