Swimming with dolphins

It is downright disgusting
That tourists believe
they have the right
To swim with captive dolphins
Who are tortured day and night

Taken from the ocean
From the wildness where they were
Created and placed naturally
Why humans still infer

Its fine to take us captive
Break up families we
Are happy losing parents
Losing children
Let them be

Brought to a concrete enclosure
A chlorinated hell
And made to work for corporates
Who ofcourse give dolphins HELL

Take them from the living world
Where ocean life is strong
And thrust them into an artificial
Hell hole which is wrong

Feed them on dead frozen fish
And dose them up with pills
Make them swim with tourists
That must be one of the thrills

Close contact with the steamy smelling
Humans of today
Awash with chemical sun screens
And the stench of real decay

We are ocean mammals
With advanced sensitivity
Having to be with aliens
Its Selfish clueless infamy

You turn us into circus clowns
No respect at all
The likes of SEA WORLD and the rest
We have to be on call

To do the stupid human tricks
To click and whistle when
You so called trainers want us to
And then do them agen

Cruelty its awful
its malevolent intent
And its about the balance sheet
You think we are heaven sent

You think we are anything but angels
You ogres are most unfair
Some of us came from Taiji
But most seem unaware

Driven in to the red cove
Our mothers slaughtered fast
We heard them screaming under the tarps
We knew our die was cast

Our family tree was broken
Twisted and lost for good
And we are then expected
To perform as if we should

Otherwise we Won’t be fed
The domineering way
Hand outs to the captives
Every single day

Their brashness their presumption
Its flagrantly unfair
Instead of giving us accolades
Your shame it does compare

With concentration camp guards
Threateningly who scream
Who expect us dolphin victims
To begin to make your dream

Come true of making money
Hand over fist so you
Can help yourself to all of us
We know that is your view

For the moronic cretins
Who listen to your lies
This is dolphinaria
This is about the size

A lack of understanding
And a general lack of care
The coldness and the aloofness
we know its everywhere

There is no special character
The need of cetaceans who
Go about in family groups
Learning as we do

For Thomas Cook and others
To sell our shit abroad
To get the cretinous tourists
To give them a reward

See their profits rising
From the cruelty we face
We dolphins hate aquariA
Its one big huge disgrace

You so pollute our oceans
With your oil slicks
and whats more
Radiation mercury
PCBs galore

Plastics we are swimming in a latrine
Made by you
You expect us to be happy
When The banging boats
Come through

That do us a disservice
Frighen us to bits
Throw us into chaos into peril
Where it sits

Deeply in our emotions
We are suffering and you
Then drive us in to that bloody cove
And murder us

A view

that cetaceans now all over
Believe the Japanese
The Chinese and the illiterate
Really think they please

Us to enter your hell
We hate to be around
The dolphins smile
Fills us with bile
We would have preferred
To have drowned

Leave us alone
and let us be
Creatures of the deep blue sea
Kill yourselves
for all we care
But do not share
your vile despair

Life in the oceans
is where we
Were put and stay
and eternally
That is our place
not with you
Do let us do
what we were sent to do

Be cetaceans loving our freedom
