Reality looks out across the vast plain
\nOf the sea
\nIt’s great depth and of course into it’s amazing constancy
\nOr so we thought its inhabitants
\nAll shapes and sizes they
\nIn every nook and cranny
\nEvery single day<\/p>\n
Occupy the coral reefs
\nThe sandy bottoms too
\nSome live on the surface
\nBut all know what to do<\/p>\n
The massive and the tiny
\nSwift moving and the slow
\nSome move about as shellfish
\nThey find somewhere and grow
\nSome request the darkness
\nOthers scuttle here and there
\nOn rocks and under rocks
\nThey share<\/p>\n
Outward looking as extroverts
\nMassive Ray’s, so big it hurts
\nTo see them flying On full wing
\nWith all the power that that can bring
\nProjecting their serenity
\nA circumstance that comes for free
\nShoals of colour synchronised
\nPhosphoresce yes be surprised
\nThe gifts of light these souls possess
\nThe intensity vivid no less<\/p>\n
MArlin and Shark and Swordfish too
\nCaught in seine nets that some do
\nLeave in oceans baited death
\nWhere even sea birds loss of breath
\nWhere turtles tangle By design
\nAnd Dolphins who may come to dine
\nWe are taking advantage of all creation
\nWhen really we have no relation<\/p>\n
To what is produced and what is caught
\nAnd whether or not we gave it thought<\/p>\n
Take Cod in Newfoundland it’s all gone
\nEvery last fish that lived upon
\nThose banks and flourished what did we do
\nWe over fished which of course was true
\nWe didn’t think we didn’t care
\nJust expecting cod to always be there
\nWe got all stroppy when we fished them out
\nIt was our business there was no doubt<\/p>\n
But fish in oceans are not so we
\nCan eat and eat that’s not why they be
\nCreated those miracles of design
\nThat all serve a purpose down the line
\nFish stocks are declining everywhere
\nFor industrial shipping breeds it’s despair
\nThe EU boats use huge great nets
\nBut nobody hedges their bets<\/p>\n
They are really arrogant thicko’s who
\nNeed a rocket up their arse or two<\/p>\n
CHina was lying through its face
\nOn the number caught guessed no real trace
\nNO actual figures they just lied
\nTill they were cornered but they still denied
\nTheir catch sizes every year
\nTill science proved what was now clear
\nAt this rate oceans would all die
\nIndustrial fishing was on a high<\/p>\n
It’s murdered so many and killed yet more
\nAnd went against the natural law<\/p>\n
There is no escape from the nets they use
\nReally and honestly we abuse
\nNAture taking all that’s there
\nEven the babies yes we dare<\/p>\n
To steal from the mouths of the locals who
\nStarve or just leave because of you
\nTurning your head not caring a bit
\nOrdering more fish you need to quit
\nThere are much less fish in the sea
\nAnd the ocean is dying rapidly<\/p>\n
It Becomes acidic with every day
\nThe shellfish dissolving they you see pay
\nSomeone has got to and that’s what we see
\nJelly fish armies where the cod used to be<\/p>\n
We encircle the globe With hook after hook
\nSo all of these so called chefs can cook
\nBlue fin it’s endangered but still we see
\nIt printed on menu’s unfortunately<\/p>\n
Is it still ignorance or corporate sin
\nArrogant boardrooms thinking to win
\nCustom from one group again and again
\nWe witness the agony and all the pain<\/p>\n
Algae and plankton is everywhere
\nAnd so many worms apparently share
\nThe spaces where fish would Normally play
\nBut we have now eaten them and more everyday<\/p>\n
The water is declining it’s quality poor
\nFish populations are dying for sure
\nThe MSC fishing has got to be
\nWorshipped by managers who look to the sea<\/p>\n
For supplies that’s a fact it must be the case
\nWalmart and Birds EYE have had to face
\nChanging their thoughts wild against farmed
\nFor the farmed fish are truthfully now being harmed<\/p>\n
And that affects wild fish that we can see
\n7 million tonnes we return to the sea
\nAs waste diabolical we have become
\nAnd it’s those foreign boats that try to act dumb<\/p>\n
Shrimps are exploding the lobster is too
\nBut rays they are dying
\nTheir place in the blue
\nBeing taken by jellies
\nThose cute UFO’s
\nThat pulsate too and fro
\nWhich the light force now shows<\/p>\n
Farmed fish is wasteful
\nA pollutive style
\nGrinding up wild fish
\nTo reconcile
\nThe quantities needed
\nSo the fish here can be
\nUsing aquaculture
\nWhich really is key<\/p>\n
5 kilos of anchovies
\nMake I kilo here
\nOf salmon that’s madness
\nAnd leads onto fear
\nFear of statistics
\nFear of the pot
\nFear of the consumers
\nWho don’t like them a lot<\/p>\n
The oceans are dying and we are at fault
\nIt’s nothing to do with the sky or the salt
\nIt’s us we are useless caring for the sea
\nFor we lack understanding of how it should be
\nThe feral release every soul has its place
\nThere but the grace of the goddess does trace
\nFootsteps to heaven and back home again
\nwonderful meaning and it wasn’t in vain<\/p>\n
Subsidies encourage fishing to the extreme
\nWe hate the migration
\nIt’s now not a dream
\nTaiji and the Faroes
\nExplicitly they
\nare out to kill Dolphins and
\nMore every day<\/p>\n
They make their excuses
\nThey talk out of their arse
\nThere is no depletion
\nAll that’s a great farce<\/p>\n
But in point of fact they are fools
\nOf course
\nThey don’t have a clue about what is at source
\nThey look into the sea
\nAnd see fish and believe
\nThose fish are there’s
\nThat’s how they achieve<\/p>\n
But arrogance really is what it’s about
\nDepletion is out there
\nThere is now no doubt
\nAnd it’s beyond recovery
\nThat’s what we know
\nAll this over fishing
\nWith little to show<\/p>\n
We see over fishing day in and day out
\nIt’s all the big corporates In With their shout
\nThey don’t listen to science
\nThey employ in their pay
\nScience to say what they want them to say<\/p>\n
Statistics are numbers consigned to the bin
\nAs the scarcity grows
\nAnd the catches wear thin
\nIt’s the big boys who fish stocks
\nAnd the small boys who cry
\nIt’s the bullies who are eating
\nAs more fish now die<\/p>\n
In 50 years the six oceans will be
\nDead not a fish swimming in them and we
\nWell I will be long gone forgotten
\nFor sure
\nBut the EU and others will then be at war
\nStealing the stocks from wherever they can
\nAll of them bastards with their own plan
\nBloody great farms polluting us all
\nAnd the rest of the fisheries gone to the wall<\/p>\n
The eugenics kicking in illuminati
\nWielding their big sticks
\nThey are bound to be hearty
\nWith half of the people on earth shot Way
\nAnd the other half dying on any given day
\nThis is the future of man un kind
\nWho is rich maybe so but bloody well blind
\nTo the value of people of souls and of me
