arrogance has sprung a leak<br \/>\nthey are clueless now to do<br \/>\n5 souls have given up the ghost<br \/>\nIn just 8 months we hear<br \/>\nThis last victim just 12 years old<br \/>\nFed on dead fish and fear<\/p>\n<p>They are dealing there with noble souls<br \/>\nWhose ancestry is long<br \/>\nThe ocean provides them so much life<br \/>\nTheir immunity is strong<br \/>\nBut captured away from the social structure<br \/>\nAnd, made to perform<br \/>\nSilly human tricks so as<br \/>\nThe numbskulls just might warm<br \/>\nTo them and buy more Chinese gifts<br \/>\nIn their pleasure park<br \/>\nSea World are a corporate<br \/>\nIts where they make their mark!<\/p>\n<p>They are there just to make money<br \/>\nAnd take advantage of us all<br \/>\nAs to humans it doesn&#8217;t  matter<br \/>\nBut sea creature&#8217;s as a rule<br \/>\nLive their lives in ocean pods<br \/>\nIn a world of life below<br \/>\nWith absolute freedom to express<br \/>\nAnd to stay in the flow<\/p>\n<p>Miles they swim together<br \/>\nChase boats they love to play<br \/>\nBut in concrete tanks<br \/>\nOf chlorine and screaming kids all day<br \/>\nThe public with their dirty hands<br

not know the reason<br \/>\nThey are mystified<br \/>\nThey shouldn&#8217;t be these animals<br \/>\nAre depressed as they can be<br \/>\nFed on frozen fish and drugs<br \/>\nAnd treated carelessly<\/p>\n<p>What is wrong with the government<br \/>\nWho allow this kind of thing<br \/>\nCorporates making millions<br \/>\nAnd probably they swing<br \/>\nContributions their way<br \/>\nStatesman they are not<br \/>\nIts you scratch my back<br \/>\nI will scratch yours<br \/>\nAnd the voiceless can go to pot<\/p>\n<p>All these bloody theme parks<br \/>\nFixed term contracts for<br \/>\nUnderpaid officials<br \/>\nSo many by the score<br \/>\nBut what are they creating<br \/>\nA vast amount of sales<br \/>\nOf furry toys from China<br \/>\nWe all are off the rails<\/p>\n<p>Wild animals need their habitat<br \/>\nAnd we have to keep it clean<br \/>\nNot use it like our dustbin<br \/>\nNot be so bloody mean<br \/>\nPlastic bags in their trillions<br

good at green wash<br \/>\nOn their web sites people paid<br \/>\nTo actually come up with the lies<br \/>\nIts their stock in trade<br \/>\nEverybody&#8217;s doing it<br \/>\nSmokescreens everywhere<br \/>\nThe suffering keep suffering<br \/>\nThats why it isn&#8217;t fair<\/p>\n<p>Cetaceans need the ocean<br \/>\ncetaceans need the sea<br \/>\nNot some dreadful concrete bath<br \/>\nBlue coloured and constantly<br \/>\nAdding cleaning chemicals<br \/>\nAnd prozac and the rest<br \/>\nIn reality watery zoo&#8217;s<br \/>\nAre places that now test<\/p>\n<p>The wild souls true abilities<br \/>\nTheir immunity and more<br \/>\nTheir emotions and their psyche<br \/>\nThat all of us ignore<br \/>\nThose who buy a ticket<br \/>\nFor the artificial sea<br \/>\nA tiny pool with the man made wall<br \/>\nIts notwhere they should be<\/p>\n<p>Never never ever<br \/>\nLive wild souls they are<br \/>\nPrisoners who live in fear<br \/>\nFrustration makes them scar<br \/>\nAnd Rake each other in the process<br \/>\nWe are a gormless bunch<br \/>\nWe go in there and pet them<br \/>\nWhilst we are eating lunch<\/p>\n<p>Our filthy oily hands<br \/>\nLeave marks on the angels skin<br \/>\nDo we care we bought our ticket<br \/>\nSo let it begin<br \/>\nThe ticket says touch dolphins<br \/>\nAnd that is what we do<br \/>\nAnd the state of some kids these days<br \/>\nI bet they pinch them too<\/p>\n<p>My heart goes out to wild souls<br \/>\nThrown into our tanks<br \/>\nMade to work the public<br \/>\nAnd satisfy the banks<br \/>\nFed on what is unnatural<br \/>\nNo life for them to share<br \/>\nNo variety nothing natural<br \/>\nOf course it drives them spare<\/p>\n<p>We are killing them with ignorance<br \/>\nMaking up stories so we<br \/>\nCan make a lot of extra dosh<br \/>\nFrom the victims in the sea<br \/>\nOf course we have objectors<br \/>\nTree huggers and the rest<br \/>\nOf course they make a lot of noise<br \/>\nBut are all futile at best<\/p>\n<p>Maybe thats the story<br \/>\nYou tell yourselves in Bed<br \/>\nBut we are here to stay and we<br \/>\nAre driven and are lead<br \/>\nWe love the dear cetaceans<br \/>\nAre really truly care<br \/>\nAnd we shall all be fighting hard<br \/>\nUntil SEAWORLD isn&#8217;t there<\/p>\n<p>Poor dart we hope he rests in peace<br \/>\nAnd gets his chance to shine<br \/>\nWe hear his old friend Betty<br \/>\nHer health is on the line<br \/>\nThe cruelty is evident<br \/>\nThey sacrifice so much<br \/>\nTheir payment should be freedom<br \/>\nBut then these parks are out of
