Tilikum on my PC<\/p>\n
a handsome<\/p>\n
Blackfish, he<\/p>\n
12,000 pounds of muscle<\/p>\n
with a fold down fin for free<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
here was a huge gigantic soul<\/p>\n
capable of much<\/p>\n
confined inside a holding pool<\/p>\n
with people who could touch<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
males for 50 years<\/p>\n
females some \u00a0may double that<\/p>\n
but watching this film……… tears<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Seaworld’s made a business<\/p>\n
out of orca’s, killer whales<\/p>\n
and Dolphins and have abused them<\/p>\n
and arrogance prevails<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
lots of bloody lawyers<\/p>\n
the gift, of the gab<\/p>\n
but terrible fatalities<\/p>\n
of trainers on the slab<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dawn was clearly murdered<\/p>\n
almost torn apart<\/p>\n
and they said it was an accident<\/p>\n
her error from the start<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
her pony tail her error<\/p>\n
the terror must have been<\/p>\n
awful all that violence<\/p>\n
from a pure killing machine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tilikum was frustrated<\/p>\n
a wild Orca cannot be<\/p>\n
subjected to such disfavour<\/p>\n
he attacked her viciously<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
she never ever stood a chance<\/p>\n
he really couldn’t stop<\/p>\n
he abandoned all his loving thoughts<\/p>\n
and clearly had a strop<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we have not learned a lot from<\/p>\n
all this captivity<\/p>\n
the sense of earning money<\/p>\n
clouds our memory<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we haven’t really understood<\/p>\n
how tragic it is to<\/p>\n
kidnap them from the ocean<\/p>\n
drag them from the blue<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
from all those miles of froth and brine<\/p>\n
that living soup of sea<\/p>\n
and rub ones hands before the bank<\/p>\n
and watch them tragically<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
go inside themselves<\/p>\n
and suffer enormously<\/p>\n
their whole lives being wasted<\/p>\n
so the balance sheet can see<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
profit lots of shamu \u00a0toys<\/p>\n
selling everyday<\/p>\n
raising up the margins<\/p>\n
making it all pay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
whilst the orca’s fret and limp around<\/p>\n
a concrete pool where they<\/p>\n
know their destiny is somewhere’s else<\/p>\n
but they still \u00a0have to pay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
whilst \u00a0business men in boardrooms<\/p>\n
work out each regime<\/p>\n
and black fish sail the oceans<\/p>\n
of their created dream<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
another trainer he would die<\/p>\n
and others injured too<\/p>\n
all were trainer error<\/p>\n
that’s what Sea world do<\/p>\n
blame<\/p>\n
suspect a misdemeanour<\/p>\n
its not the Orca’s fault<\/p>\n
its not about atonement<\/p>\n
that is what we thought<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
keeping these great mammals<\/p>\n
in rock pools in great parks<\/p>\n
is lacking understanding<\/p>\n
for there now are the marks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
of total bloody ignorance<\/p>\n
the raking and the size<\/p>\n
the Orca’s need the ocean<\/p>\n
not the rock pools<\/p>\n
why the surprise?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
water work interactions<\/p>\n
are dangerous so to say<\/p>\n
trainers cannot get in the water<\/p>\n
with them or so they<\/p>\n
now say<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the show is so important<\/p>\n
we need to get back to<\/p>\n
the place where both trainer and the Orca<\/p>\n
can be in \u00a0full view<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
when will the directors listen<\/p>\n
when will Sea World see<\/p>\n
when will Sea World realize<\/p>\n
how it has to be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
when will all these airlines<\/p>\n
stop sending people there<\/p>\n
for its not entertainment<\/p>\n
just hours of pure despair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the wild ones need the<\/p>\n
ocean<\/p>\n
the great expanse of brine<\/p>\n
they need the interaction<\/p>\n
not in \u00a0this confine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
this soup bowl of existence<\/p>\n
designed for sea world to<\/p>\n
make its money and contain its costs<\/p>\n
depends my dears on YOU<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to come on through the turnstiles<\/p>\n
to buy the chinese gear<\/p>\n
to exchange your US dollars<\/p>\n
for a heap of Chinese fear<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and to sacrifice the Orca’<\/p>\n
and the dolphin and the rest<\/p>\n
for the shareholders and others<\/p>\n
who continue to invest<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
in what is a failing<\/p>\n
business<\/p>\n
as more acts say goodbye<\/p>\n
as airlines start to listen up<\/p>\n
and ex- trainers know they lie<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
as the thinking public listen<\/p>\n
as they then score<\/p>\n
its the blackfish who is the master<\/p>\n
that we, must not ignore<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
