What is a dolphinarium
\nIts a prison that is all
\nFilled with salty water
\nA dead place with a wall
\nOf blue bricks made to look like
\nWhat humans know as the sea
\nBut the sea is never like that
\nThe sea has life you see<\/p>\n
And we in fact are dolphins
\nOur freedom is what we
\nHave and are its where we star
\nIn our community
\nWe have the choice of everywhere
\nAnd individuality
\nSelf determination
\nFree born free bred
\nAnd liberty<\/p>\n
This place is subjugation
\nIts enslavement that is all
\nOppressive its unravelling
\nAnd its very very small
\nIts restricting us completely
\nIts a lifeless sombre place
\nNo algae and no seaweeds
\nAnd not even a trace
\nOf luxuriance of lushness
\nNo where we can hide
\nNo waves no surf there is nothing
\nThey said there was and they lied<\/p>\n
Mankind and humanity
\nAre a society of cranks
\nA great city of corporates
\nAnswering to their banks
\nNothing in their heart strings
\nAnd very little soul
\nTheir empathy for others
\nWas never their goal<\/p>\n
They know nothing of these earthlings
\nUs rulers of the rule the sea
\nWith due respect for every species
\nEverywhere they be
\nDistance is no object
\nFor miles and miles we fly
\nAnd down into the bowels we go
\nWhere coral angels lie<\/p>\n
In this giant bucket
\nSo much incuriosity
\nTheir are no answers to our plea
\nAnd its a pure audacity
\nTo imagine that we dolphins
\nCan exist in this vile pool
\nAnd forget where we have come from
\nThis is to be our school<\/p>\n
Where you are going to train us
\nTo leap through hoops and fly
\nFor dead fish we must work our fins off
\nAnd we know now why
\nThis sea pool dolphinarium
\nThe university
\nIts where your greenhorn trainers are
\nAnd our adversity<\/p>\n
Your feeble minded dipsticks
\nIdiotic fools
\nArtless in the soft design
\nFeather brained these schools
\nWe had expectation
\nAnd imagination too
\nBut what we get is boring
\nIts meaningless but true<\/p>\n
This is not equivocal
\nWe feel so shot away
\nAnd really so ambivalent
\nAt what we have today<\/p>\n
First off of course its dirty
\nNo airing nothing here
\nIt just doesn’t feel right at all
\nAnd really we all fear
\nThe unknown there is no where to go
\nWe are trapped inside this hole
\nWith the constancy of nothing
\nAnd the coercive force of no<\/p>\n
To exist in this monstrosity
\nThis over bearing park
\nSo close to the ocean
\nWhere we had made our mark
\nIts torture its so evil
\nThe grindstone it will wear
\nSo uninspired and dreary
\nAnd hardly ever fair<\/p>\n
This is hideous and repulsive
\nIts the defacement of our soul
\nForbidding and odious
\nAnd we feel your control
\nBy the very nature of the smallness
\nOf this place
\nCompared to the mighty ocean
\nIt is truly a disgrace<\/p>\n
Wildness was our dreamland
\nOur hope we cast aside
\nWhen we were captured by the trolls
\nAnd then just relied
\nOn coming to this miserable hole
\nAnd calling it our place
\nThere is no way we can do this
\nWe haven’t got the space<\/p>\n
All dolphins need their freedom
\nAll dolphins need the sea
\nThe massive depths and miles and miles
\nThats where we must be
\nFlashing through the breakers
\nRacing boats at speed
\nDiving down to dark holes
\nWhen we get to feed<\/p>\n
The chase is on for dead fish
\nLying on the ground
\nAlready smelling obnoxious
\nEven when its found
\nIts stale and not so tasty
\nIts warm and rancid too
\nIts anything but what we want
\nAnd are expected to do<\/p>\n
Every trick imaginable
\nThrough hoops of fire and more
\nLet the trainers swim with us
\nSome still in the raw
\nIts not good to swim with humans
\nTheir touch does kind of scar
\nThats when we get infections
\nFrom being where
\nYou are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
