came for them<br \/>\nBrandishing their knives<br \/>\nA violent wicked rotten bunch<br \/>\nWHo set to and stole their lives<\/p>\n<p>Many many families<br \/>\nWho all started their day<br \/>\nFull of joys and wanting<br \/>\nTo travel a long long way<br \/>\nThrough the North ATlantic<br \/>\nThe ocean of their dreams<br \/>\nTo some far off destination<br \/>\nMany many teams<br \/>\nSome warriors some babies<br \/>\nSome parents at their side<br \/>\nWhen suddenly out of this dark land<br \/>\nThe hordes who once did hide<\/p>\n<p>Thrust towards them carrying mayhem<br \/>\nAn ugly array<br \/>\ndemons drenched in bloody cloaks<br \/>\nEnough to scare away<br \/>\nThe innocent completely<br \/>\nUnfriendly hostile men<br \/>\nAs ugly as the day is long<br \/>\nFrom some misbegotten den<br \/>\nOf iniquity they cometh<br \/>\nAnd drove the whales to shore<br \/>\nJumping on them standing on them<br \/>\nTill they were no more<\/p>\n<p>These butchers from an island race<br \/>\nOf odious ill dressed fools<br \/>\nSuch vulgarity and grossness<br \/>\nClearly they were ghouls<br \/>\nBedraggled by the beauty<br \/>\nAnd the courage of the whales<br \/>\nTheir valour and their fearlessness<br \/>\nCausing great blood trails<\/p>\n<p>To happen In the ocean<br \/>\nEach yellow streak of man<br \/>\nCraven hearted shirkers<br \/>\nEach was each other&#8217;s fan<br \/>\nA lovelessness and apathy<br \/>\nThey showed towards the whales<br \/>\nAnd when they hit the beach head<br \/>\nTheir presence it just pales<\/p>\n<p>Into a sad significance<br \/>\nFor  the slashing blades<br \/>\nCaught hold<br \/>\nMothers lying bleeding to death<br \/>\nTheir babies rolled<br \/>\naround them<br \/>\nScreaming terribly<br \/>\nFeeling their mothers pain<br \/>\nAnd having their heads sawn off their bodies<br \/>\nAgain and again and again<\/p>\n<p>And not done by any professionals<br \/>\nNot a surgeon not at all<br \/>\nJust a lousy yob with a bloody<br \/>\ngreat knife<br \/>\nJust having a ball<br \/>\nLaughing his rotten head off<br \/>\nThis clearly heartless git<br \/>\nWho if I had my way he would end up<br \/>\nSwimming in his shit<\/p>\n<p>The nobility of the victims<br \/>\nThey took defeat as though<br \/>\nIt was all inevitable<br \/>\nBut humanity cries NO!<br \/>\nThis is blatant violence<br \/>\nAnd the world must wake up and say<br \/>\nAnything from the Faroez<br \/>\nWe shall not buy now no way<\/p>\n<p>And Denmark better realise<br \/>\nit will lose some trade<br \/>\nPositioning it&#8217;s war ships<br \/>\nthat means that it&#8217;s put paid<br \/>\nTo any help I am sorry<br \/>\nthis grind as it is called<br \/>\nIs just first degree murder<br \/>\nand I am so appalled<\/p>\n<p>That it&#8217;s allowed to happen<br \/>\nThe so called big EU<br \/>\nThe masters of all that is fair<br \/>\nThey also turn their screw<br \/>\nThey are a bunch of nothing short<br \/>\nOf murderers as well<br \/>\nThe bloody lot should be consigned<br \/>\nTo what I call true Hell<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of this ocean<br \/>\nDeep in the torrents where<br \/>\nGreat beasts feast on the cowardly ones<br \/>\nLet them grapple with despair<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s them taste the spoils of battle<br \/>\nThat they dish out constantly<br \/>\nAnd end their miserable incarnations<br \/>\nUnderneath the sea<\/p>\n<p>Grabbing at each other<br \/>\nAs cowards do tend to do<br \/>\nScreaming like some wild banshee<br \/>\nYes my friends that&#8217;s you<br \/>\nYou who killed one hundred and twentyAngels in their prime<br \/>\nYou who took out your vile knives<br \/>\nAnd killed them before their time<\/p>\n<p>There are no excuses tradition sorry that<br \/>\nIs purple to suggest it for where these murders sat<br \/>\nIn hearts around the country<br \/>\nIs where no words exist<br \/>\nWe wish all you wish the whales<br \/>\nFor these angels they are missed<\/p>\n<p>The ocean cries its threnody<br \/>\nIs heard by angels who<br \/>\nYou might think are voiceless<br \/>\nBut everyone of you<br \/>\nIs known in the whale kingdom<br \/>\nAnd karma soon will come<br \/>\nAdding to Neptune&#8217;s tally<br \/>\nTo the beat of his wave drum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>120 Pilot Whales Lost their lives today The mistake they made Was swimming passed the
