There is never an excuse

A rigidity and hardness
Draconian not traditional
Harassment and oppression
That is now Taiji
Pitilessness and brute force
Intolerance and cruelty
Domineering and predatory
Despotic and arbitrary

It’s a crack down on the families
Bludgeoning and frightening
Press ganging them
Enslaving them
Hostages they are
They lose their right to freedom
To self rule and dominion
Free born free bred and
Privileged
To swim however far

The fisherman have the whip hand
The banging boats cause chaos
They take all the advantages
These men now from Taiji
It’s tyranny they dominate
And totally kill the families
It all is bloody brutal
At an overbearing rate

Creating the adversity
The hardship and the terror
It’s all humiliation
It’s one gigantic error
Up blest and inglorious
A wretchedness afore thought
A catastrophe
Ruinous and dreadful
Calamitous it be
Battle scarred and bellicose
It’s really infamy

And it’s all about the prosperity
Of the town known as Taiji
They are heartless they are murderous
And it’s not how it should be
Pitched battles in the cove
The pithing vileness and the death
It confronts the struggle too
With generations torn apart
Which nobody should do

Attacking and assailing
Grappling in the sea
Blood spills from their heads and mouths
And it’s not how it should be
The children of the world look on
At the cove now in Taiji
Underneath those coloured tarps
They die in agony

Screaming to their god Neptune
The charismatic king
Asking for respite
And hopeful he will bring
Deliverance from the evil
That Japan sets into place
The hornets nest of gruesomeness
At that vile disturbed pace
