The ultimate sacrifice ( a mother for her baby)

So many pay the ultimate price
so many of us die alone
trying to protect our babies
caught up in the killing zone
Tai ji it is infamous
In Dolphin circles I suppose
we suffer from humanity
and the threat to us
it grows and grows
Today I perish for my baby
she was my life
she was my soul
frightened by the banging pipes
of fishermen out of control

With my baby we were herded
into coves and then we knew
they were going to slaughter us
all the stories they were true
there were friendly people waiting
but the monsters were there too
I had to try and save my baby
that was all that I could do
I saw him in the water by me
clearly he was menacing me
the inevitable dawned on me clearly
the end was near it had to be

I thrust my body directly at him
and felt the blade and of course knew
death was certain it was over
my babies life was over too
my judgement of the situation
was helplessness and that would be
the lasting image I could ever
take to Heaven tragically

what became of my sweet baby
as a mother I dare not think
through my guidance we were hoodwinked
and clearly taken to the brink
desolation was my last thought
it welled up in me and I
felt the agony of losing
in minutes I alone did die

Taiji seeks its special culture
talks tradition wants no less
it has some how made a difference
talking down the Dolphins stress
the world at large is unconvinced
and we great mammals of the sea
we suffer how we suffer here
in this vile place known as Tai ji

Today I lost my little baby
Today I lost my life and I
am just one Dolphin, just one mother
just one soul who had to die
who had to try and protect my baby
each of us has that feeling for
each other when incensed with danger
even with the threat of gore

that is how we are made up
never to leave an injured friend
never to walk out on a colleague
but to stay until the end
The Japanese they know this clearly
and use this quality to create
mayhem in the Dolphin nation
and slaughter us now at a rate

The cove runs red with blood and mucous
our souls cry as we realise
despite evolving to a high place
human beings they have eyes
and hearts that clearly are persuaded
to absolve them from the fear
their consciousness is has been downgraded
and I can’t even see a tear

he thrust his blade into my body
I saw his face close up to me
if anything he was grimacing
a factor that just couldn’t be
at that point I knew it was all over
humanity had reached a low
far beneath the Dolphin level
too late for me but now you know

I know
