despair<br \/>\nFish a rich commodity<br \/>\nWhere some corporations<br \/>\nDo<br \/>\nExtend their grubby fingers<br \/>\nThat might reach the likes of you<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really a massive business<br \/>\nConcentrated in<br \/>\nNorway Sweden and Vietnam<br \/>\nAnd now most places win<br \/>\nOver with the latest craze<br \/>\nOf farming everything<br \/>\nTaking on the natural methods<br \/>\nAnd trying hard to bring<\/p>\n<p>To bear, the added margins of profit<br \/>\nAll the way<br \/>\nWith a lack of conscience<br \/>\nWhere in essence we all pay<br \/>\nWhere arrogance and ignorance<br \/>\nAre partners what you see<br \/>\nIs holding hands together<br \/>\nInto adversity<\/p>\n<p>The many strands of profit levels<br \/>\nPut pressure on each to<br \/>\nFind a bigger share still<br \/>\nThat is what they do<br \/>\nAnd when ministries are at it<br \/>\nThe big boys get their way<br \/>\nImprobity is the likelihood<br \/>\nAs is so much dismay<\/p>\n<p>In reality only Nature<br \/>\nKnows how to operate<br \/>\nThese canny corporations<br \/>\nThey always mitigate<br \/>\nMuch and remain hidden<br \/>\nUntil that is we find<br \/>\nA backlash for humanity<br \/>\nWhich is soon underlined<\/p>\n<p>Wildness is the only answer<br \/>\nNo difference of degree<br \/>\nThe hands of the mighty are able<br \/>\nTo compensate and be<br \/>\nProviding the equilibrium<br \/>\nAt all levels to ensure<br \/>\nEquality and equivalence<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s  for evermore<\/p>\n<p>But we of course are altogether different in  what we do<br \/>\nParamount are the financial aspects<br \/>\nAnd the power base it be true<br \/>\nWhich has it&#8217;s real shortcomings<br \/>\nNo triple bottom line<br \/>\nA parasitical failure<br \/>\nWith perfection in decline<\/p>\n<p>Fatty fishes salmon and herring<br \/>\nAnd the like<br \/>\nthought by some<br \/>\nTo be healthy are being farmed<br \/>\nThe hike<br \/>\nAway from the environment<br \/>\nTo the massive profit store<br \/>\nCreates an inferior process<br \/>\nFar away from Natural law<\/p>\n<p>And when we think we can do this<br \/>\nWith our blinkers on we find<br \/>\nThere are some repercussions<br \/>\nAnd they can blow our mind<br \/>\nA vast array of negatives<br \/>\nCan creep up on us and we<br \/>\nMight suffer for it which we are<br \/>\nNow doing tragically<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s then we find that the<br \/>\nEthical organisations realise<br \/>\nAnd a battle does ensue<br \/>\nBetween them and the corporate guys<br \/>\nSort of  cutting corners<br \/>\nThe ignorance out there<br \/>\nThe arrogance of the ceo&#8217;s<br \/>\nAnd the ministry who have covered up<br \/>\nWhen the danger siren blows<\/p>\n<p>Power corrupts and  money talks<br \/>\nIt shuts the media down<br \/>\nExploitation is everywhere<br \/>\nIn a  sea of it we drown<br \/>\nWe are told, omega 3&#038;6 are right<br \/>\nSo it&#8217;s put in everything we eat<br \/>\nAnd it becomes the light<\/p>\n<p>More and more fish are in  the farms<br \/>\nAs such what we  do see<br \/>\nVast amounts of bacteria<br \/>\nMountains of it, be<br \/>\nCausing vast pollution<br \/>\nSea lice everywhere<br \/>\nand vast amounts of pesticides<br \/>\nWhich many people share<\/p>\n<p>Fish take on genetic forms<br \/>\nSick and really ill<br \/>\nNo oxygen to speak of<br \/>\nDrugs and more drugs still<br \/>\nA soup of incredible horror<br \/>\nA terrible cocktail to try<br \/>\nPutting them through the established  mill<br \/>\nWith a big tear in ones eye<\/p>\n<p>A vile and vicious  cycle<br \/>\nDrowned in residues<br \/>\nFed on the direst pellets<br \/>\nWhich is the foulest news<br \/>\nDosed with the darkest dioxins<br \/>\nAnd then pcb&#8217;s<br \/>\nAldrin dieldrin terrible stuff<br \/>\nThat begins to turn the screws<\/p>\n<p>Norway and Sweden pollute the fjords<br \/>\nAnd the fish from the Baltic Sea<br \/>\nAre absolutely dreadful<br \/>\nSo much toxicity<br \/>\nNorway is covering up the problems<br \/>\nAnd prefers to walk away<br \/>\nTo make the money and remain calm<br \/>\nAnd make consumers pay<\/p>\n<p>We who trust and eat fish<br \/>\nAnd many people do<br \/>\nFish consumption is increasing<br \/>\n year on year<br \/>\nMaybe me and you<br \/>\nThe pellets are so shocking<br \/>\nWhat the fish now eat<br \/>\nIs destroying them completely<br \/>\nAnd for consumers, it&#8217;s no treat<\/p>\n<p>The fish are falling foul to it<br \/>\nLiver disease and more<br \/>\nBleeding from their precious fins<br \/>\nBlaming it on the farmers sins<br \/>\nAntibiotics galore<br \/>\nWe see a chain reaction<br \/>\nAnd bacteria Resistant too<br \/>\nPanggar is another fish<br \/>\nFrom Vietnam they do<br \/>\nDraw It from polluted tributaries<br \/>\nOf the Mekong such despair<br \/>\nAffecting all our immune systems<br \/>\nAnd we have to be aware<br \/>\nOf  our hormones<br \/>\nCancer and of course heart disease<\/p>\n<p>Now of course Its true<br \/>\nThey are really killing us<br \/>\nAnd the public are on the case<br \/>\nBuying into the cooking and eating<br \/>\nWe must face<br \/>\nthe<br \/>\nInevitable<br \/>\ndisaster<br \/>\nThe<br \/>\nEthoxyquin For they<br \/>\nAre putting all the residents at risk<br \/>\nMore so everyday<br \/>\nThe corporate world of finance<br \/>\nAt all cost aimed now at us<br \/>\nIt seems they care not one iota<br \/>\nAnd will never make a fuss<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s money in their pockets<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s money in their bank<br \/>\nFor us the bold consumer<br \/>\nOur future clearly rank<\/p>\n<p>Lies  and loathing our reward<br \/>\nThey provoke by using fear<br \/>\nThey feel we are revolting<br \/>\nAnd are uncaring so you hear<br \/>\nNo respect for anyone<br \/>\nPassionless are they<br \/>\nLament with us  and mourn with us<br \/>\nFor we know it&#8217;s our time to pay<\/p>\n<p>They juggled with circumstances<br \/>\nThey played us at their game<br \/>\nThey struggled to make connections<br \/>\nTheir excuses all were lame<br \/>\nThe sentient ones were sacrificed<br \/>\nAs were our heartfelt thoughts<br \/>\nWe bought into their ignorance<br \/>\nAnd never saw their warts<\/p>\n<p>Somehow they pasted over<br \/>\nThe obvious until<br \/>\nThe activists were present<br \/>\nInjecting their sweet thrill<br \/>\nAcross the board of reckoning<br \/>\nInto the sea of pain<br \/>\nStand up those who dispute this<br \/>\nAnd don&#8217;t look away again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Corruption is a
