Tilikum’s been dying
\nEver since his kidnap date
\nA bacterial infection
\nIts about opening the gate
\nLetting this amazing mammal
\nWhose actuality
\nHas always been so positive
\nHis potentiality
\nWas vast out in the ocean
\nWhen SEA WORLD’s Rotters came
\nBandits lacking consciousness
\nNot prepared to take the blame
\nFor slaughtering some babies
\nAnd capturing this soul
\nEternity had been waiting
\nTill this lot took control<\/p>\n
Nirvana was his everything
\nThe pod his family tree
\nAnd they came along and ruined
\nEverything he had, the sea
\nGave up his wondrous body
\nThey took his freedom away
\nAnd forced him into a concrete tank
\nOf chlorine and dismay
\nDosed him up with chemicals
\nPROZAC and the rest
\nAntibiotics to keep him going
\nThe cash cow to invest<\/p>\n
In him their new found sperm bank
\nWhich they had to ensure
\nThey forced him to give up all his sperm
\nAnd his cries they did ignore
\nAnd now after all this time
\nIn a rank tank he believes
\nNow is the time to end it
\nBecause nothing now achieves
\nFreedom to a sea pen
\nThey want to keep him, they
\nWant him doing silly tricks
\nUntil his dying day<\/p>\n
Which shouldn’t be that long now
\nfor Tilikum has said
\nHe would rather forgo the breath of life
\nHe would rather now be dead
\nThey wouldn’t let him go back to the ocean
\nSo it appears
\nHe will die, they will lie and we shall
\nAll be in tears<\/p>\n
He may have been implicated
\nIn the deaths of trainers who
\nKnew nothing about his demeanour
\nAs we know it is true
\nTilikum was frustrated
\nTilikum was sad
\nHis poor old heart had been broken
\nThey had driven him mad<\/p>\n
His relationship with his family
\nWas glorious and strong
\nA bond to last forever
\nUntil it all went wrong
\nThey bombed and then went after
\nBabies and females
\nSEA WORLd hurled their anger
\nOne of the sickest tales<\/p>\n
Now Tilikum has been forced to live
\nIn a bathtub all these years
\nFed on dead and slimy fish
\nThey failed to see his tears
\nFailed him pretty miserably
\nIt was profit from him they
\nWanted and he gave them
\nAnd now its judgement day<\/p>\n
TIlikum is dying
\nHe is going to fade away
\nHis spirit will leave Sea world
\nWho we all hope will decay
\nCrumble into their bloody tanks
\nThe whole board let them go
\nThey have stolen so many Orca lives
\nAs we protestors know<\/p>\n
Tilikum is being treated
\nWith chemicals galore
\nBut what he needs is freedom
\nAnd love for evermore
\nInstead its banged up all his life
\nFor a sin that they committed
\nAnd he amazingly intelligent
\nFor all of them he outwitted<\/p>\n
He will not make the sea pen
\nThe rank tank is his base
\nHis heart was broken long ago
\nJust look into his face
\nLook into his massive eyes
\nAnd honestly what do you see
\nA soul lamenting day and night
\nIn a lasting elegy<\/p>\n
Listen you will hear him
\nCrying from his heart
\nThe Sea World board are ruthless
\nThey have been from the start
\nLook at his fin he has broken down
\nMany moons ago
\nHe is a weeping and wailing warrior
\nWho doesn’t want to know<\/p>\n
Lets pray for him
\nLets hold him in our hearts
\nFor evermore
\nWe tried and it was denied
\nThey broke every law
\nBanged him up and left him
\nTo the mercy of the bank
\nWho put him in a concrete hole
\nUntil he bloody well sank<\/p>\n
And this is now whats happening
\nBacteria has kicked in
\nHis lungs are full of infection
\nNow he cannot win
\nHe wants to go home back where
\nHe came from long ago
\nBack into the ocean
\nNot part of some show<\/p>\n
He is heavy it is dreary
\nThe banality of it all
\nHe is ponderous and sluggish
\nOn a treadmill as a rule
\nUninspired the repetition
\nWearisome and flat
\nHe has to now give up the ghost
\nFor that is where he is at<\/p>\n
We are all very sorry we couldn’t gain your release
\nYou were captured by the bastards who never had a change of heart selfish corporate evil thats all they are and they will never change<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
