Dedication

It does take dedication
To go to the embassy
A whole day from the schedule
To just be there and to see
The super pod and others
Getting into gear
Giving them some welly
Soaking up the atmosphere
Paint slapped on your hands and heads
A placard held to show
Everyone who waltzes passed
What they ought to know

Its a little place in Japan
A so called whaling place
3000 or so inhabitants
Now a big disgrace
For they adopt a principle
Of going to the sea
With little boats and banging pipes
And creating a melee

In among the dolphin pods
Which they drive then back to where
They are pithed and sliced and tortured
And their bodies they then share
Some are sold to aqua parks
but most are pithed to death
A rod inserted in their blowhole
Till escaping breath
Is shut off
Then this dagger is thrust into
Their soul
It may take twenty minutes
To die
And to console
each dolphin
We the activists must send
Our heartbreak to
Their side as they lay dying
In what is their blood its true

Its the ugliest nastiest evil
And there butchers do it they
Kill babies and kill mothers
Nobody can say
These fishermen are anything
But the butchers of the sea
They need a bloody good hiding
And this banned immediately

So the dedicated friends of dolphins
Periodically
Go off to Piccadilly
To the embassy
We stand there in all weathers
And shout our hearts out and
Like this bold soul it becomes our role
To save them our sweet band
Of dedicated warriors
So give them credence for
What they do for dolphins
And will do for evermore
