No new Dawn Black fish 2

Scalped and one arm eaten

a trainer took the force

of a killer whale

it was the pony tail

a, matter of course

 

a highly effective trainer

as efficient as she could be

dedicated to her task

but sadly all could see

 

how thoroughly out manoeuvred

by her enormous foe

TILIKUM had felt denied

of spirit, and we know

 

from his capture back in 83

at his tender age of two

immobile for two thirds of his life

and raked by females who

 

wanted to make a point and did

he had suffered long and hard

slung between the worst one gets

and constantly on guard

 

a ticking time bomb

and his mental state

became his way

what wild pods do experience

his malaise got worse

each day

 

his feelings and his memory

will be with him till he dies

a lost soul out of true control

his mood Sea world denies

 

his character

his experience

his might curtailed by those

who try to work the system

and did not pre suppose

 

his negative and creative force

they used his sperm for they

oppressed him and stole his precious  germ

to inseminate and pay

 

his rental as a stud

his genes how they did spread

all the captive females

took it into them

which led

the world to see his greatest worth

his genes  were passed along

again he felt hard done by

another watershed

 

He felt, but not Seaworld, they

ignorantly proclaimed

this was TILIKUMS destiny

whilst he was feeling blamed

 

imprisoned night and day, alone

cast into a sea

of grief and just existence

melancholia  the key

 

the wildest spirit in the sea

a wretched captive soul

defiantly, continuously

in a soup of his own juice

with all his pain and misery

clearly coming loose

 

all his major visions

blocked by captive force

from his childhood

with his power to see

stolen there at source

 

resentment clearly building

his manipulation sound

TILIKUM is suffering

effectively being drowned

 

out by the attentions

of the so called human world

who took a tiny baby

and into hell they hurled

 

him, expecting payment

for keeping him alive

in a soupy tank of woe beyond

where he could survive

 

the feelings of a strangled wretch

grabbing back some power

seeking independence

from every tortured hour

 

A new dawn fast approaching

a potential to be free

from what has proved disastrous

to what now possibly

 

could be a new beginning

for the old man of the sea

who has struggled on regardless

through man made adversity
