the tragic thing for Dolphins
is we imagine we
know everything about them
we have our eyes to see
and see we do
and imagine
at what we see is there
the dolphins are always smiling
because in life they share
that avid glorification
that joyfulness to be
locked upo in a concrete tank
for all eternity
made to be a cash cow
for the seaworlds of this world
when really they are as miserable as sin
having been hurled
into a soup of iniquity
no depth no life no air
no freedom to do what they will
prisoners who share
little in their real lives
trapped and left to be
purely entertainment
for trolls who come to see
they have this sweet expression
its not that they can be
miserable they were born with joy
and playfulness their key
is that alone but humans
are an unkind bunch of souls
who where there’s money to be had
ramp us the controls
so a Dolphin is clearly happy
taken from the sea
and transferred to a tank of soup
thats where it should be
a happy smiling soulful soul
because we know its true
illusory a perception
only for the few
who know the dolphins temperament
who understand their poise
who realize their true nature
which is not one of life’s joys
they smile or they appear to smile
because they are built that way
but deep inside their persona
they are lost in our dismay
