The Faroes the dolphins the heroines and the navy

this story fills me with dismay

and it happened, just

today

hundreds of  dolphins got away

but the Danish Navy came

all guns blazing arrested the crew

the “Spitfire” women

heroines true

they should have been killed

the dolphins they

should have been slaughtered

and made to pay

white sided dolphins

swam with their lives

thanks to these women

those bloody knives

were not employed at gouging lumps

out of their bodies

their internal pumps

blood in the water

crimson spray

the murdering people

making them pay

no need to slaughter

what’s it about

sadistic bastards I hear you shout

its a hopeless tale

of despondency

of desperation in the sea

unpropitious

ominous too

such cowardliness

what can we do

an unsightliness

a graceless act

a wall of woe

who can react

to such bloody evil

to innocent souls

who whimper and whine

to these numbed down trolls

irreconcilable

on this day

remorseful and rueful

what can one say

so much pain and no empathy

and no compassion

for us to see

just brutality

and an evil streak

obnoxious and odious

to the meek

it makes no sense

and it grieves us all

its not  culture

only a fool

would say or believe

such a lame excuse

its a heinous crime

and a lousy ruse

the heroines and there

are three

gave their all

for  their empathy

with the great sea souls

burdened by

the Faroese  whose wish was to try

and capture and kill each one

for they

grind out the pods

and make them pay

but the navy came

and Denmark acted

arrested the crew

who had interacted

with time and care and love abroad

only to perish on the sword

impounding their boat

the spitfire she

would now make 4 boats

tragically

held by the Danes

deciding they

would police it all

with some dismay

The dolphins saved

a collective sigh

there just must not be

more to die

the Faroes and Japan now kill

already too many

the blood they spill

sickens us, frightens us

tears at out soul

good old sea shepherd

they try to control

but now its the navy

running the thing

wanting the killings

to go on and bring

more bloody carnage

into the sea

and into the hearts of people like me

we fight for their rights

someone has to

or the sea would run red

and never be blue
