Whale killing
An epidemic clearly happening,
We have to watch the whales dragged back
And it is maddening
Travellers through oceans
Voyagers Far away
Subterranean adventureres
Slaughtered on this day
Clearly missed by family
Wondering where they be
Inventing and exploring
The depths it seems to me
Now cut up and bleeding
an obscenity
Unrefined and shameless
Their aristocracy
Wasted on these common folk
This rabble of a mob
Clearly the disadvantaged
Who can use their gob
But little else
Their life and soul
Clearly rotted away
Pickled on the mercury
And The PCB’s that stay
Infecting and destroying
The muscles and the fat
And getting to grips with anguish.
And the malice thats where its at
The balefulness and acrimony
The spitefulness abroad
The ill-disposed and unfriendly
All cut up by the sword
