Suffering

A whale
It’s so big
A London bus
The size of its heart
There’s something to suss
Out when we look into a whales eye
A great universe
That’s beginning to cry
Heartache and suffering
Anguish and pain
Purgatory coming
Again and again

With so many tons
It swims and it glides
A harpoon hits home
And in essence it rides
Imagine it’s agony
And anxiety
As its sweet life drains fast
In a true misery

Our Captain is holed up
In a prison we hear
Denmark can cry
From the such added fear
You have locked up an Angel
With burden and strain
Accusing him sadly
You you the insane

He has seen with his eyes
What the greatest whale feels
Such a body it holds
So much it conceals
A great whale a great Captain
And a smelly old cell
Murdering whales
Under a bad spell.
