and shadow lovers of life&#8221;"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Our pod was swimming merrily<br \/>\nOff the coast of  Japan<br \/>\nI was with my mother<br \/>\nshe was my life time fan<br \/>\nMy goddess and my mentor<br \/>\ncreation brought her to me<br \/>\nUndeniably a friend for life<br \/>\nand someone who could be<\/p>\n<p>Everyday  together<br \/>\nunderneath the blue<br \/>\nNirvana she had called me<br \/>\nbut I was clueless to<br \/>\nThe meaning how profound that was<br \/>\nbut I would know for all my days<br \/>\nWhen she would  tell me to coexist<br \/>\nin the happiest of ways<\/p>\n<p>Learning to be able<br \/>\nto be worthwhile to be free<br \/>\nA pod is really made up<br \/>\nof all one&#8217;s family tree<br \/>\nUncles aunties sisters brothers<br \/>\neveryone was there<br \/>\nAnd enabliing togetherness<br \/>\nthat everyone could  share<\/p>\n<p>I remember it was very calm<br \/>\nthe sea was extra blue<br \/>\nNo real waves to worry us<br \/>\nnothing to eschew<br \/>\nI had got much closer to my mother<br \/>\nQuite a plan<br \/>\nWhen suddenly a violent noise<br \/>\nwas it the pipes of pan<\/p>\n<p>And it was getting louder<br \/>\nthat noise from  Japan<br \/>\nCreating so much chaos<br \/>\nreally Painful sound<br \/>\nWe all went into a panic<br \/>\nIt was the worst sound around<\/p>\n<p>These banging boats<br \/>\ncame out they all came from Taiji<br \/>\nMy mother was beside herself<br \/>\nas were others actually<br \/>\nDriving we were being driven<br \/>\ninto the rocky  shore<br \/>\nThe dreaded cove at Taiji<br \/>\nof that I  now was sure<\/p>\n<p>Infamous and dreaded<br \/>\nwhere the  sea ran red<br \/>\nWhere pretty dolphins<br \/>\nwere enslaved and sold<br \/>\nAnd the rest would<br \/>\nend up dead<br \/>\nSome elders took to trying<br \/>\nTo fight back the desire<br \/>\nOur brains were feeling coddled<br \/>\nAnd our feelings they were dire<\/p>\n<p>A diabolical situation<br \/>\nDeveloping snd we<br \/>\nDecided we would fight like hell<br \/>\nAnd get back to the sea<br \/>\nWe rallied and we circled<br \/>\nTrying to get away<br \/>\nBut they kept up the banging<br \/>\nAs if trying to say<\/p>\n<p>You are to be ou r prisoners<br \/>\nYou are going to die<br \/>\nWe are going to eat your flesh<br \/>\nIn a big sashimi pie<br \/>\nToday the pod  had juveniles<br \/>\nAt least twenty two<br \/>\nAll of us babies seemed too small<br \/>\nSo what were they going to do<\/p>\n<p>Murder us and eat us<br \/>\nOr take  us back and drop<br \/>\nUs back into the ocean<br \/>\nWhatever we couldnt stop<br \/>\nMy mother was dragged into the cove<br \/>\nUnder the tarps of green<br \/>\nI was on my ownsome<br \/>\nuncles and aunts had been<br \/>\nPlaying now relentlessly what were we going to do<br \/>\nAnd I had lost my mother<br \/>\nShe was murdered good and true<\/p>\n<p>I was such a baby<br \/>\nhowd could they murder me<br \/>\nNot enough flesh on my body<br \/>\nfor a  sand eel actually!<br \/>\nProbably stuffed with mercury<br \/>\nand PCB&#8217;s as well<br \/>\nDDT and glyphosate<br \/>\nall from monsatan,s HELL<\/p>\n<p>But that is now what happened<br \/>\nTaken back were we<br \/>\n22 young babies<br \/>\nAll dumped in the sea<br \/>\nWe were actual shark bait<br \/>\nWithout mums to provide<br \/>\nProtection and true knowledge<br \/>\nTrue infanticide<\/p>\n<p>No instinctive memory<br \/>\nAnd No knowledge day to day<br \/>\nHow could we get anywhere<br \/>\nIn this ocean of dismay<br \/>\nWe decided it seemed best to stay together<br \/>\nA little shoal<br \/>\na pod of youngsters, we<br \/>\nCould be the  phantom army<br \/>\nWe could be unreal<br \/>\nFind a coral garden<br \/>\nAnd within that grove  conceal<\/p>\n<p>To be in a prismatic place<br \/>\nOf colour everywhere<br \/>\nAnd to always be together<br \/>\nAnd try to be aware<br \/>\nTry to look out for each other<br \/>\nNo matter how  big we grew<br \/>\nSince we have one common interest<br \/>\nIn everything we do<\/p>\n<p>We were all interconnected<br \/>\nRelations of a sort<br \/>\nComparatively similar<br \/>\nIn  scale and yes in thought<br \/>\nEach having an identity<br \/>\nInterchangeably so<br \/>\nA kind of correspondence<br \/>\nOf being in the flow<\/p>\n<p>For me I was a wanderer<br \/>\nAnd enjoyed being alone<br \/>\nWe started off as 22<br \/>\nBut within a week<br \/>\nIt was  known<br \/>\nSome had fallen by the wayside<br \/>\nWe now were down to 10<br \/>\nAt this rate I decided to<br \/>\nThink much more of ZEN<\/p>\n<p>The japanese could have killed us<br \/>\nBut we tried to disprove<br \/>\nThat theory  with a query<br \/>\nWe could stay in the groove<br \/>\nOne night i had a  funny dream<br \/>\nAnd thought i would  dive down deep<br \/>\nTo the lower coral gardens<br \/>\nA more peaceful place to sleep<\/p>\n<p>But i was looking for someone to<br \/>\nShare my life and I found<br \/>\nA lady who was called melusine<br \/>\nA mermaid Who was bound<br \/>\nFor Neptunia a city neath the<br \/>\nSo called azure sea<br \/>\nWhere a great god was manifest<br \/>\nSo she invited me<\/p>\n<p>She said she had a sister<br \/>\nHer name it seemed was SWANN<br \/>\nShe had one red eye and one green eye<br \/>\nAnd her teeth sadly were gone<br \/>\nShe was a very pretty lady<br \/>\nAnd could swim Very fast<br \/>\nAnd when the sunlight reached her face<br \/>\nThe die of love was cast<\/p>\n<p>She called me her SHadow<br \/>\nA  name that stuck for me<br \/>\nI gave up nirvana<br \/>\nShadow was cool you see<br \/>\nNot all juveniles make it<br \/>\nWhen pods go to taiji<br \/>\nSo what we began together<br \/>\nWas a University<br \/>\nTeaching about human traits<br \/>\nAnd the awful drive<br \/>\nAnd how it was  right to  leap over  floats<br \/>\nAnd try to stay alive<\/p>\n<p>Make waves for NEPTUNIa<br \/>\nAnd join shadow and swann<br \/>\nReaching out to dolphins everywhere<br \/>\nAnd try to don<br \/>\nAnd aiding and abetting SEA  shephed<br \/>\nAnd the gang<br \/>\nBy toning down the banging boats<br \/>\nTo a more acceptable clang<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our pod was swimming merrily Off the coast of Japan I was with my mother she was my life time fan My goddess and my mentor creation brought
