Taiji and the sea angels

Hearing their cries in the water

their innocence clearly comes through

their sentience clearly a factor

the perils they face in the blue

their blamelessness surely is with them

guiltless and misunderstood

up against wickedness and immorality

we must now fight for whats good

Santoshi Komiyana is now in Taiji

he heard the sea angels who ply

he heard when he realized they were to be

killed in the blink of an eye

the pithing the hammering

the pipes of war

the pods being slaughtered

against natural law

really and truthfully

whats it all for?

its something in fact

that the world does abhor

his head in the water listening, he

realized their culpability

and illegality, it seemingly

the wrong thing to do

in the cove at Taiji

the resentment and anger

the rancour its caused

the wrathfulness is growing

the killings if paused

would give a great chance

to give dolphins the lead

and let them find freedom

and hopefully breed

where’s the humility

we now demean

ourselves by the killings

dejected we lean

away from the sentient

into the dark

condescending and unbending

is that their mark

and fear it is felt by the angels

we know

Santoshi heard that

and that seems to grow

as more and more pods

are destroyed and are left

with a few  in seaworld

and the rest all bereft

its a hopeless and comfortless

period where

the dolphins are left

in the depths of despair

unpropitious and saddened

and grieving aloud

bemoaning their future

now under a shroud

the tarps where the pithing goes on

everyday

a stab hole a peg and a hammer

they say

the pain is exceptional

utterly sad

as we turn the sea red

and feel terribly bad

the dirge that is heard

in the sea that is blue

the mournful lament

the weeping they do

it enters the heart

and it gets to the soul

and it flies through the blood

till it just takes control

the dolphins are seeking

our help and we must

give it and love them

for in us they trust
