fishermen discarding ghost nets are criminals without a doubt

the falsehoods and artfulness

and the disgrace

they cannot be bothered

all over the place

sensitive habitats

its becoming clear

ghost nets discarded

produce so much fear

49 feet deep 56 miles

long

just imagine that

really how wrong

ghost fishing innocent

600 years

before breaking up

All the billions of tears

shed by the by-catch

the true souls of  the sea

trapped and enclosed

and starved violently

so huge and heavy

coral reefs reel

Carpenteria Ghost Nets Programme

Appeal

the Indigenous communities

clearly they know

the six R’s

are working

and now they show

progress

remove record and rescue

Report and  reduce

and research

all of it true

903 miles of coastline

has been

checked in three years

the noble scene

uprightness and goodness

integrity

they care and they share

the ghost nets they see

unscrupulous fishermen

the opportune

discard their nets

From their ruddy cocoon

ignorance reigns

in their little world

wastrels and sinners

their shit is just hurled

down to the sea bed

degenerate scum

few thoughts in their head

seemingly numb

to the damage they cause

to the victims who be

caught up in the nets

the enormity

of their decisions

so much remorse

Condemned to such fury

Right from the source

millions of creatures

starved of their right

many  in agony trying to fight

their way out of netting

this awful discard

that threatens so many

and upsets this Bard

their vile debauchery

no self control

Undisciplined monsters

without a soul

an insatiable urge

to murder and kill

devouring nature

can you all feel the chill?

their shamelessness

coarseness and wantonness  they

Dishonour  their gods

quietly each day

they need to be charged

and sat in  some jail

chastised every time

YES wherever they sail.
