rally for the Dolphins and Cetaceans in London yesterday"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hertfordshire was clad in snow<br \/>\nAs off to London we did go<br \/>\nOur posters vibrant<br \/>\nOur hearts alive<br \/>\nWith a single purpose<br \/>\nTo together strive<\/p>\n<p>To remind the public in<br \/>\nTrafalgar Square<br \/>\nThat we were coming together there<br \/>\nWith Nelson looking towards Big Ben<br \/>\nWe marched and chanted all<br \/>\nKnowing when<\/p>\n<p>From Cavendish Square<br \/>\nWe felt the joy<br \/>\nOur hearts were one<br \/>\nWe did employ<br \/>\nThe camaraderie of the day<br \/>\nFull of verve<br \/>\nAlong the way<\/p>\n<p>In the sunshine<br \/>\nIn the cold<br \/>\nAll of us some young some old<br \/>\nAll for the angels of the sea<br \/>\nReminding folk to set them free<\/p>\n<p>To stop the slaughter in the water<br \/>\nTo really let them be<br \/>\nLots of people saw us<br \/>\nThey stood and watched as we<br \/>\nTook the dolphins spirit<br \/>\nAnd went with it to free<\/p>\n<p>Them from the evil grasp<br \/>\nOf those Taiji fishermen who<br \/>\nDare to torture and slaughter pods<br \/>\nAnd violate It&#8217;s true<br \/>\nAnd they are really trying<br \/>\nTo save each other they do<br \/>\nStay back they are courageous<br \/>\nTo  whatever does accrue<\/p>\n<p>They pay the price<br \/>\nThey suffer<br \/>\nThey cry out every day<br \/>\nUntil the angels are hauled aboard<br \/>\nFor alas that is the way<\/p>\n<p>20,000 Dolphins die in the bloody sea<br \/>\nIn Chiba<br \/>\nAnd in Hokkaido<br \/>\nIn Iwate<\/p>\n<p>Trapped in some dire<br \/>\nSystem some speared by hand<br \/>\nAnd they<br \/>\nIn Miyagi and Okinawa<br \/>\nAll of them  do pay<\/p>\n<p>Taiji is the most infamous<br \/>\nIn Wakayama,we<br \/>\nSee the Blue Cove turn red<br \/>\nFrom blood and sinew, and for me<br \/>\nThe true vile Japanese spirit is blatant<br \/>\nFor they stab a metal pole<br \/>\nInto their neck and plug it<br \/>\nThat is every soul<\/p>\n<p>Who cries out to their goddess<br \/>\nAs internally they bleed<br \/>\nAs a plug is  hammered into the wound<br \/>\nSo the discharge doesn&#8217;t feed<br \/>\nOut into the water<br \/>\nWhere the cameras could see<br \/>\nThe cove a soup of flesh and blood<br \/>\nWhere the angels had swum free<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese won&#8217;t hear their cries<br \/>\nFor most of them are dead<br \/>\nFrom the neck up<br \/>\nFrom the waist down<br \/>\nYes that&#8217;s what I said<\/p>\n<p>Futo stopped it years ago<br \/>\nThey hated what they did<br \/>\nWhere formerly they slashed<br \/>\nTheir heads off really in a bid<\/p>\n<p>To kill the Dolphin angels<br \/>\nAs quickly as they could<br \/>\nBut even the Japanese themselves<br \/>\nJust did not feel good<\/p>\n<p>In 20 years 400,000 cetaceans<br \/>\nHave been killed<br \/>\nIn Japanese waters so much blood<br \/>\nAnd snot and sinew spilled<br \/>\nSo much pain and agony<br \/>\nSo much evil, they<br \/>\nTalk of bloody culture and<br \/>\nTradition whilst they pray<\/p>\n<p>Mercury,methyl mercury,cadmium<br \/>\nDDT and the fishermans union earning<br \/>\nFor each Dolphin that they see and<br \/>\nCatch and flog to Sea World<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s corruption and it&#8217;s high<br \/>\n32,000 dollars so do not believe their lie<\/p>\n<p>And very few Dolphins last the course<br \/>\nWherever they are sent<br \/>\nMade to live in filthy tanks<br \/>\nBecause of the extent<br \/>\nOf terrible conditions<br \/>\nThey get lesions and they die<br \/>\nAnd reality shows<br \/>\nThat the Bottle nose<br \/>\nCannot stand this which is why<\/p>\n<p>They will die rather than be imprisoned<br \/>\nAs slaves of the sicko fools<br \/>\nWho pay to see them leap through hoops<br \/>\nOf fire against the rules<br \/>\nOf freedom Dolphins do expect<br \/>\n100 miles a day<br \/>\nBeside their mothers<br \/>\nSisters and brothers<br \/>\nIn their world of play<\/p>\n<p>Taiji an ugly sordid place<br \/>\nReally of ill repute<br \/>\nThey slaughter our children in the sea<br \/>\nCut them to their root<br \/>\nViolate their being<br \/>\nWith spiteful barbarity<br \/>\nThey are a bunch of sadists<br \/>\nWho expose such savagery<\/p>\n<p>Their truculence and brutality<br \/>\nOn the sweet angelic team<br \/>\nOf thinking feeling animals<br \/>\nThey malign them it does seem<br \/>\nThey display the worst intention<br \/>\nSuch wishful baleful fools<br \/>\nIntolerant of nature<br \/>\nAs collective hearts<br \/>\nAre tools<\/p>\n<p>Each unamiable suggestion<br \/>\nAnd ungenerous regard<br \/>\nTheir pitiless and satanic soul<br \/>\nIs altogether hard<br \/>\nAbuse it&#8217;s strangely avid<br \/>\nThreateningly so<br \/>\nSo devoid of sympathy<br \/>\nAs onwards they now go<\/p>\n<p>Our march our rally yesterday<br \/>\nOur celebration shows<br \/>\nOur posters and our vibrancy<br \/>\nUnderneath the nose<br \/>\nOf tourists out in Trafalgar Square<br \/>\nAmongst the performers, who<br \/>\nGot a slice of Dolphin Love<br \/>\nFrom all of us right through<\/p>\n<p>The speakers how they vented<br \/>\nTheir spleens and hearts again<br \/>\nWe Were broken by the passion<br \/>\nAll feeling the Dolphin&#8217;s pain<br \/>\nKnowing the Dolphins agony<br \/>\nTheir lamentation for<br \/>\nNot only their own species<br \/>\nBut the Japanese at war<\/p>\n<p>The hinderer the spoiler<br \/>\nThe murderer the beast<br \/>\nWho after slaughtering the whole pod<br \/>\nThey just sit down and feast<br \/>\nOn angels flesh plug ugly<br \/>\nNo empathy have they<br \/>\nA flea has more compassion<br \/>\nFor it&#8217;s victims anyway<\/p>\n<p>In silence then remembering<br \/>\nHow beautiful they be<br \/>\nTheir wonderful persuasion<br \/>\nAnd where we had to be<br \/>\nTogether In this struggle<br \/>\nTo stand beside them they<br \/>\nShare their grief and wisdom<br \/>\nIn their world of love and play<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hertfordshire was clad in snow As off to London we did go Our posters vibrant Our hearts alive With a single purpose To together strive To
