We know Dolphins leap
\nThey frolic and play
\nThey tail slap and belly flop
\nSurf dive and sway
\nJump through the hoops
\nNot much they cant do
\nSkittish and frisky
\nThey plunge in the blue<\/p>\n
But cornered in pens
\nIn Japan’s Taiji
\nThey stay within floats
\nWhen they could get free
\nWe know their emotions
\nAnd feelings create
\nA mental and spiritual makeup
\nA state<\/p>\n
Of caring and sharing and being
\nAll seeing
\nA predisposition to rate<\/p>\n
But as soon as the banging boats
\nTrap them and drive
\nTheir actual reality
\nThen to survive<\/p>\n
Apparently fails them and they
\nJust wait it out
\nAnd more of them perish
\nWhat is that about?
\nIs it just leathargy
\nA delayed reaction
\nA sort of stupor
\nTheres no satisfaction
\nWaiting around
\nTo be pithed in the sound
\nTo be hopelessly slaughtered
\nAnd some even drowned
\nIs it fear or dismay
\nCant they see
\nWhat is happening
\nOut in the bay
\nOr is it just shock
\nAt the death of their friends
\nIs that the problem
\nThat actually sends
\nThem into what is a delerium state
\nAnd They all just give up
\nAccepting their fate.<\/p>\n

\nhertfordshire after seeing a striped dolphin
