Sharks and more especially the Great Hammerhead and the ocean beyond

Sharks have a long pedigree
A vast bank on which to call
Evolution tempers the philosophy
Of all
Existence as we know it
Their historicity
Bursting with improvements
To their substantivity

450 million years
A timely proposition
Survivors of 5 mass extinctions
A tangible rendition
We, miniscule ant like humans
Some sixty thousand years
We have seen developments
But for me it all appears
The ultimate in arrogance
To imagine that we can
Murder sharks
For a bowl of soup
A great plan of man

To obliterate a species
An apex predator that
Is an integral member
Of the ocean and where we are at
Is A very significant crossroads
In the embodiment of power
Which is wholly not instinctive
And we must must now query how

Such a gift an absoluteness
Is treated in this way
Is falsely accused of predation
On humans for to say
Such is a diversion
Its what creation gives
A present for humanity
related to who lives

Inventive and truly undermined
A miracle of force
Never emulated has been a
A driving force
A gradualness of purity by
Adjustment and by design
Far in advance of consumers
With their compensatory whine

Today I single out the greatest
Being that we know
The Great Hammerhead and extraordinary soul
Thats truly in its flow
And is fast becoming endangered
Thanks to the lust of man
who believes he is in ascendancy
Since all of life began

Looking at this fellow
With a bold mishapen head
Some of the lofty princly rich
Would cut off their fins tis said
And borrow the flavour of chicken
And the chemical MSG
And concoct a vile and disgusting bowl
Of what is depravity

At the lack of understanding
Of the alien creatures who
Frequent our massive oceans
And seldom come to view
Us truly inferior beings
As to our senses so to say
The aeons of development
That have shown all sharks the way

Their wholeness and their integrity
Their order actually
Comparitively speaking
Their hierarchy
In perfection of their senses
Has been prioritised and we
Have these old souls in our oceans
With adaptations that now be

Far advanced in real terms
Than our science of the day
Who spend their bleak hours studying them
All along the way
To waste such historicity
In a bowl of soup to me
Is an arrogance and true crime
Against humanity

Their hearing sight and smell
communicates And they
Are being slaughtered by the boat load
Every single day
Thoughtless unstudied low life
Dealers in animals parts
Broken individuals
With shit for brains and no hearts

Being allowed to torture
And murder them at will
For the pleasure
Of the gastronome
Who All buy into this
For the swill
For the so called pompous showy
Inflated vulgar stew
Costing an arm precious fins
Its slavish and its true

The sharks and more especially
The Great Hammerhead should be
Respected for what it is
A gift to humanity
A highly regarded hunter
Both sensitive and strong
That feasts its eyes on sting rays
And squid and does belong
where they have plied for aoens
In The oceans of the blue
Respect is what I am calling for
Now from all of you

They so are advanced beings
They are miracles in fact
Which just shows me how wasteful
For diners to react
To be fobbed of by the restauranteurs
Who profit Now each time
And encourage rotten low life
To continue with this crime

They are miraculous creation
So advanced and they
Really must be protected
In the cool light of the day
Their abilities are top knotch
Elctro reception and more
They are anazingly sensitive
Without any flaw

The need is to protect them
Not fill the ocean blue
With trillions of plastic jettison
Which is what we do
We punish and condemn the angels
We castigate those who
Give their time and money
To help and to be true

We abandon moderation
Excessiveness now rules
Consumerism and wastefulness
Self indulgent fools
Immoderate and excessive
Fish restaurants everywhere
Where the hell is temperateness?
Why cant we be aware?

We are syphoning off the wild life
That we cannot replace
We look upon the vegan clan
As some sort of disgrace
Frugality and abstinence
Ofcourse its not for us
We are emptying the oceans
With no time to discuss

How it affects the creatures
The trillions of souls now there
Fighting through our discarded shit
Which is poisoning their air
And we appear so forgetful
Of the pollution that we cause
And that we now consume it to
And all without a pause

Look at commercial fishing
See the wasteful loss
Life is cheap for fish eaters
Who do not give a toss
Every excuse in every book
To be complicit we
Are literally emptying out
The life
That was always in the sea

Oil and radiation plastics
Chucked away
The oceans are our dustbins
That appears the way
Forward its extraordinary
How insensitive we are
How unworthy of the miracles
Of life that we just scar

45o million years if that was not enough
The 5 great mass extinctions
When life on earth was tough
Some of the sharks came through all that
But now the greed and ill
Of man who is for certain most unkind
All he wants is to kill

And then change his vocabulary
Cull not kill he feels
His dumbed down low life customers
A nice fat fish appeals
Loaded with methyl mercury
And extra PCB’s
Radiation and excrement
And plastic if you please

Sharks are not man killers
Their world is their world
Creation gave them balance
And what we have done has hurled
The vast and miraculous ocean
Into a teaming heap
Of rottenness and ugliness
Where those there are left to weep

Invaders of their wonderment
Enslavers of their young
Polluters of their environment
Where everything is flung
Overboard or dumped
In great quantities every day
And we wonder why reality
Has come home and we now pay
