traffic<\/p>\n<p>we came to have our say<\/p>\n<p>we came to heighten awareness<\/p>\n<p>of the \u00a0violence in Taiji<\/p>\n<p>the turmoil and the ferment<\/p>\n<p>and the roughness that we see<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>playing out there daily<\/p>\n<p>in JAPAN its was our quest<\/p>\n<p>to stop the dolphin slaughters<\/p>\n<p>and get this hell redressed<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>a lot of people came from far off places<\/p>\n<p>to be there<\/p>\n<p>dont talk of the 8 million<\/p>\n<p>those that are aware<\/p>\n<p>came to help the others<\/p>\n<p>to realize the score<\/p>\n<p>and if you like stand up with us<\/p>\n<p>and protest even more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the ball of blood flag<\/p>\n<p>evidence that the japanese do to<\/p>\n<p>think of blood when \u00a0hanging<\/p>\n<p>it<\/p>\n<p>as they always do<\/p>\n<p>our constant affirmations<\/p>\n<p>1500 strong<\/p>\n<p>is telling the great universe<\/p>\n<p>what is going wrong<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>incessant were the chants<\/p>\n<p>they continued throughout the day<\/p>\n<p>and this is making headrow<\/p>\n<p>into the psyche and does play<\/p>\n<p>a part now in all of this protest<\/p>\n<p>for the dolphins have a need<\/p>\n<p>to swim in toxic waters<\/p>\n<p>but not to perish and to bleed<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>to swim in the blood of their families<\/p>\n<p>this is totally insane<\/p>\n<p>imagine the horror<\/p>\n<p>the vehement disdain<\/p>\n<p>its \u00a0tyrannical, its oppressive<\/p>\n<p>its \u00a0a rampage much too far<\/p>\n<p>and yet its happening in Taiji<\/p>\n<p>an overwhelming scar<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>on humanity, its ugly its as vile<\/p>\n<p>an act as we<\/p>\n<p>could ever stoop to conjur<\/p>\n<p>in our \u00a0pits of misery<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>its violence for the sake of it<\/p>\n<p>on highly gracious souls<\/p>\n<p>so sentient beyond the human realms<\/p>\n<p>we exact controls<\/p>\n<p>we delve into their \u00a0sonic sphere<\/p>\n<p>and disrupt it with our pipes<\/p>\n<p>complicity \u00a0through simplicity<\/p>\n<p>with complex yet brutal swipes<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>then herd them into Taiji<\/p>\n<p>whole families bent on joy<\/p>\n<p>on commitment and on learning<\/p>\n<p>such deviousness we employ<\/p>\n<p>their gallantry is unspoken of<\/p>\n<p>but they are heroic and<\/p>\n<p>the Japanese exploit them<\/p>\n<p>of course thats out of hand<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the destruction of the family<\/p>\n<p>in a maelstrom of \u00a0such pain<\/p>\n<p>to sabotage their feelings<\/p>\n<p>the perdition of our gain<\/p>\n<p>the upheaval is so radical<\/p>\n<p>a cataclysmic \u00a0turn<\/p>\n<p>there is no way back<\/p>\n<p>they must try to save each other<\/p>\n<p>so we learn<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>each one is a hero<\/p>\n<p>and each one it will die<\/p>\n<p>murdered by the \u00a0antipathy<\/p>\n<p>and disfavour that does lie<\/p>\n<p>clearly in the hearts of those<\/p>\n<p>whose business is to kill<\/p>\n<p>an aversion for such \u00a0sensitivity<\/p>\n<p>and one that will<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>much more true resentment<\/p>\n<p>from the angels in the midst<\/p>\n<p>who feel and see the agony<\/p>\n<p>and who to now resist<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>there is a wave of love and care<\/p>\n<p>emanating out<\/p>\n<p>1500 protesters<\/p>\n<p>know what its about<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>they came together<\/p>\n<p>from every walk of life<\/p>\n<p>to be as one<\/p>\n<p>they made the protest happen<\/p>\n<p>with joyfulness and fun<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The police I thought were admirable<\/p>\n<p>courteous as they<\/p>\n<p>plunged into a \u00a0melting pot<\/p>\n<p>but managed it all day<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>smiles were ever present<\/p>\n<p>their mood was always kind<\/p>\n<p>and that was because the protest<\/p>\n<p>was the best that you can find<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the message it was evident<\/p>\n<p>and we all picked up on it<\/p>\n<p>the benevolence of sharing<\/p>\n<p>thats where it did sit<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I made a point of telling<\/p>\n<p>the officers that they<\/p>\n<p>came across as genuine<\/p>\n<p>and that too made my day<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>a really good cross section<\/p>\n<p>of the public came to be<\/p>\n<p>and many many brochures<\/p>\n<p>were taken avidly<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the public \u00a0they were positive<\/p>\n<p>for the energy was there<\/p>\n<p>it was positive it was goodly<\/p>\n<p>and given to all to

numbs<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the feet and got some dancing<\/p>\n<p>increasing the energy<\/p>\n<p>the Japanese can be in no doubt<\/p>\n<p>and truthfully begin to see<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>it was all about commitment<\/p>\n<p>and honouring the cause<\/p>\n<p>we stoodfast in that busy place<\/p>\n<p>and hardly did anyone
