They belong in the ocean
that’s where they belong
but in Indonesia
circus is strong
travelling circuses
from town to town
and the terrible truth
of what is going down
dolphins are part of it
doing their tricks
leaping through fire
which clearly licks
their sensitive skin
but there’s no love loss here
they are expected to forgo
their fear
their prowess of leaping
and reaping the money
its all real big business
which is far from funny
its so cruel to do this
travelling shows
torture and mayhem
for the bottle nose
captured and left in the tiniest tanks
slaves in pure hell
but good for the banks
75 dolphins are treated this way
it cannot get worse for them
that we can say
sign the petitions
lets set them free
Indonesian circus
is no place to be
it just goes to show
how humans can fall
into the abyss
and how they can gall
the innocent dolphins
and force them to be
slaves out of water
mercilessly
