Taiji protest video"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Having written many poems<br \/>\nHaving stood on protests too<br \/>\nMy heart bleeds for the dolphins<br \/>\nAnd I know what I have to do<br \/>\nTo tell the world this evil<br \/>\nTo tell the world this pain<br \/>\nTo show the world whats happening<br \/>\nAgain and again and again<\/p>\n<p>Their innocence of feeling their sensibility<br \/>\nTheir minds locked on compassion<br \/>\nThey love us actually<br \/>\nTheir brain is very different<br \/>\nTo our brains and we see<br \/>\nDespite the vilest torture<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t fight back aggressively<\/p>\n<p>They are extraordinary beings<br \/>\nMammals breathing air<br \/>\nThey feel the pain they feel the strain<br \/>\nWe know its hard to bear<br \/>\nAnd driving them so crudely<br \/>\nWhole families that will stay<br \/>\nLocked in each others aura<br \/>\nUntil judgement day<\/p>\n<p>At the protests there&#8217;s such passion<br \/>\nTears fall freely there<br \/>\nThe total lack of conscience<br \/>\nThe out and out despair<br \/>\nWe are tuned into the dolphins<br \/>\nAnd they are tuned into us<br \/>\nThe fisherman&#8217;s  unscrupulousness<br \/>\nThe world needs to discuss<\/p>\n<p>They are children of the ocean<br \/>\nWith minds and majestic power<br \/>\nMagical in every way<br \/>\nObserve them for an hour<br \/>\nAnd you will fall in love with them<br \/>\nAs many of us here<br \/>\nFeel that truest sanctity<br \/>\nAnd candour which is clear<\/p>\n<p>Their blooded so sad noses<br \/>\nAnd our  bunches of red roses<br \/>\nEach rose represents a life<br \/>\nLost in the wicked game<br \/>\nThe relentless drive the ugly strive<br \/>\nTo dupe the dolphin angels<br \/>\nTo draw them back into Taiji<br \/>\nOr that is  what they claim<\/p>\n<p>Disrespectful of the dolphins<br \/>\nAnd of Nature and beyond<br \/>\nThey minimise their lives on earth<br \/>\nAnd try to break that bond<br \/>\nBetween all earthlings everyone of us<br \/>\nThat now does fight<br \/>\nTo keep the dolphins in the sea<br \/>\nAnd out beyond the light<\/p>\n<p>Instead so many flounder in the swirling<br \/>\nPools of death<br \/>\nIt becomes a massacre<br \/>\nFighting for each breath<br \/>\nRather they would run into the rocks<br \/>\nEach suicide<br \/>\nMore to do with their control<br \/>\nWhich is probably denied<\/p>\n<p>Waist high in the water<br \/>\nWith dolphins now in tow<br \/>\nGrabbing them up  by their fins<br \/>\nIts painful don&#8217;t you know<br \/>\nTo watch this and to feel this<br \/>\nClearly the Japanese<br \/>\nhave never had any empathy<br \/>\nWatch them as they seize<\/p>\n<p>Others push them into nets<br \/>\nListen to their cries<br \/>\n3 men against one soul<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t listen to their lies<br \/>\nThey clearly do enjoy the fact<br \/>\nThat murder is a foot<br \/>\nSmiling they are happy<br \/>\nI just feel I have put<\/p>\n<p>The truth down as I watch<br \/>\nThem heartless selfish men<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t care of environments<br \/>\nOf families really when<br \/>\nDoes commerce ever listen<br \/>\nTo the cries of those who care<br \/>\nThey are wearing dollar blinkers<br \/>\nAnd empathy is rare<\/p>\n<p>This video proves people power<br \/>\nIs on the rise again<br \/>\nDespite the corporate image<br \/>\nAnd the robotic gain<br \/>\nOf keeping people dumbed down<br \/>\nOn the fluoride and the rest<br \/>\nMore and more are avoiding it<br \/>\nOh yes I do not jest<\/p>\n<p>Sure the chem trails falling down<br \/>\nAnd the vaccinations too<br \/>\nAll that bloody mercury<br \/>\nNot doing much for you<br \/>\nBut we  are here to protest<br \/>\nThe emperors clothes are crap<br \/>\nWe are taiji watchers<br \/>\nAnd around us now they wrap<\/p>\n<p>Their tenderness and innocence<br \/>\nWe feel it every one<br \/>\nWe are here  to generate<br \/>\nNew energy that we have won<br \/>\nThose dolphins will pick up on it<br \/>\nThe way we rally so<br \/>\nWith song with poetry with blood ourselves<br \/>\nWe all try to go<\/p>\n<p>From far and wide we venture<br \/>\nA day of it in fact<br \/>\nWe are fighting for the dolphins<br \/>\nWatch how we react<br \/>\nRic o Barry is on the street<br \/>\nBehold the big black door<br \/>\nIs opened look at the chandeliers<br \/>\nWe really have to score<\/p>\n<p>Sitting out in front of this drab embassy<br \/>\nWe feel<br \/>\nThe frustration and the pain inside<br \/>\nFor what we know is real<br \/>\nOur megaphones our sirens<br \/>\nOut klaxon horns our voices<br \/>\nDrifting over the traffic noise<br \/>\nWe really do have choices<\/p>\n<p>Stop the slaughter in the water<br \/>\nIt just has to stop<br \/>\nBlood blood blood on their hands<br \/>\nWatch their bodies flop<br \/>\nPithed out of existence<br \/>\nBy the scurrilous vile hand<br \/>\nComplete humiliation<br \/>\nThat I fail to understand<\/p>\n<p>Each blue cove day there is happiness<br \/>\nOver every town<br \/>\nOn a red cove day there is sadness<br \/>\nIn every tear we drown<br \/>\nThe ingratitude of such a soul<br \/>\nSwimming in our sea<br \/>\nWe are thankless of their wisdom<br \/>\nIncapable we be<\/p>\n<p>This video is beautiful<br \/>\nThe action its all here<br \/>\nOver laid with dolphins<br \/>\nAway from man made fear<br \/>\nWe really have a duty<br \/>\nTo creation to commit<br \/>\nThese truly marvellous beings<br \/>\nTo where in fact they are fit<\/p>\n<p>In the deep blue ocean<br \/>\nAnd the sharing of our air<br \/>\nI would rather share it with dolphins<br \/>\nThan with taiji men so there<br \/>\nYou can see how I feel<br \/>\nThe resentment how it grows<br \/>\nSong writers are singing songs<br \/>\nAnd I now must compose<\/p>\n<p>Poem after poem<br \/>\nFor the dolphins for we must<br \/>\nRealise as earthling hordes<br \/>\nThere is so much, thats unjust<br \/>\nCreation and the goddess<br \/>\nAre very sad to see<br \/>\nHow we are destroying<br \/>\nEarthling life<br \/>\nAnd the miracles that be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having written many poems Having stood on protests too My heart bleeds for
