They are in fact immortal
\nWith a grounding in the deep
\nPhysical of flesh and blood
\nBut their consciousness must weep
\nReally uncontrollably
\nFor the negative result
\nWhich took them from nirvana
\nTo a humanoid assault<\/p>\n
Groundless and unfounded
\nNutritionally obscure
\nAbsent from all sense at all
\nIn fact not even pure
\nA thickener in point of fact
\nWith a pithy meaty feel
\nAnd how the Chinese do react
\nWhen the AR folk reveal<\/p>\n
For us it is an essential part
\nIn the trough of life we be
\nExtraverts by accident
\nAnd our life in the sea
\nIs a circumstance of bearing
\nAnd intimacy<\/p>\n
We know our place as predators
\nSo there is no allusion here
\nWe are analogous with balance
\nAnd we believe thats clear
\nComplete interaction
\nEverywhere we go
\nAnd a distinct identity
\nOf being in the flow<\/p>\n
Jaws the book the film
\nThrashed upon us all
\nIt showed us in a different light
\nOne that did appal
\nThe frightened ones made more fearful
\nThe confident they too
\nTook on the fear and upset
\nGiving expression to a few<\/p>\n
Disorder in the ranks was felt
\nA true disharmony
\nWe were all embroiled in squalor
\nIn uproar and frenzy
\nA turbulence beyond our reach
\nA whirlwind of a day
\nChaos ruled just every hour
\nWe had no time for play<\/p>\n
Hooks and lines were commonplace
\nThe human breed appeared
\nRiotous and frantic
\nMany more now speared
\nThey were lawless they were violent
\nWe began to suffer so
\nWe became disorientated
\nAnd not part of their show<\/p>\n
Men came by to butcher us
\nTear off our precious fins
\nHaul us up and cut us
\nAnd plonk us into tins
\nToss our bleeding bodies back
\nInto the darkly mass
\nThe ocean swallowed up our bodies
\nAll of this seemed crass<\/p>\n
The agony of existence
\nThe beginning of our end
\nAbove the surface of our ocean
\nNo one was our friend
\nThey all were out to kill us
\nIn that they made it clear
\nWhen our fins broke through the surface
\nYou could taste the fear<\/p>\n
It was a wholesale panic
\nAn epilogue of fate
\nJudgement all went haywire
\nIndeed what could create
\nSuch fear among the humans
\nTo see us in poor light
\nEven the surfers were wary
\nIts as if we were a blight<\/p>\n
The unfathomable the limitless
\nThe suddenness of time
\nChanges we could feel them
\nFermenting in the chyme
\nEnduring this phenomena
\nOur permanence cut short
\nA kind of revolution
\nIn everybody’s thought<\/p>\n
A blistering attack on us
\nOur stamina and power
\nWhich was once in the ascendant
\nBut actually not so now
\nWe are going through it
\nOur destruction is by far
\nThe most wilful thing that has happened
\nFor now sadly we are<\/p>\n
Suffering lamentably
\nVictims everywhere
\nLying on the bottom
\nTorn up with despair
\nFins stacked high on quay sides
\nEven our babies too
\nAll of us are suffering
\nBecause of Jaws and YOU<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
