A throwback from his
neolithic forbears
Primitives they needed
These proud whales
Their flesh their blubber
Needed it for their half starved
Guts but now
This Loftsson character
Ofcourse He fails
Miserably to make
His case for killing
All these fin whales
Endangered due to whaling
Endangered due to pollution
To plastic and to the likes of him
I’d say
Iceland you are showing yourself
Up in a bad light
Two more angels die for breathing air
This is an indictment
levelled at you
And if you die in pain
Sir I dont care
And The worst thing about Iceland
Is that you are whaling there
“We must remember every single whale
Who has been murdered because they wanted to breathe”
“It was always their right
And for you to murder them
Your wrong”
