Tilikum

Of course he is bloody dying
He has been dying everyday
Little by little crying his heart out
Filled with such dismay
The beauty of his ocean
Stolen from him, he
Has been force to live in a bath tub
In total plangency

His prison that of SEA wORLD
A bunch of liars who
Took him stole him such vulgarity
They didn’t have a clue
Most of them were following orders
Arrogance unlocked
Total impropriety
On seeing them we were shocked

Thank goodness it was Black Fish
Who showed it like it was
Despite all their denials
It was just because
They had captured a cash cow
Who was going to pay their way
Guarantee big salaries
This soul was made to pay

Fed on dead or dying fish
In a sterile tank of woe
Made to perform circus tricks
And be out of the flow
Such an intelligent Orca
Being made to be
A slave to all the morons
That paid to come and see

And the lies they told
These so called trainers
And manAgement oh dear
And Tilikum was tortured
couldn’t you feel his fear
Subjected to such evil
Every single day
And now of course he wants
With all his heart
To pass away

To give up there is no release
For Tilikum today
Sea World have him by the scruff
And they do make him pay
Freedom its a memory
His life has just been hell
Performing splashing water
Something he does well

Lets all think of him tonight
Send him our love and hope he forgives us
For not being able to set him free
