We feel so threatened these days
\nOur existence is at stake
\nWe have reached a realization
\nThat does really and honestly make
\nFor very difficult reading
\nFor try now as we do
\nThe philosophy of our existence
\nWe wonder if its true<\/p>\n
It now is undeniable
\nFor where we live to say
\nThat mankind doesnt feel kind
\nHardly in any way
\nPollution of the oceans
\nIts scandalous out there
\nFishing gear and plastics
\nAnd by-catch everywhere<\/p>\n
Your methods of fishing
\nAre crippling to us all
\nThe long lines and the seine nets
\nThis carnage should appal
\nSo many species wiped out
\nDespite quotas in place
\nShrimp farming and fish farming
\nIts all such a disgrace<\/p>\n
And its well documented
\nJust how bad it be
\nAnd JAPAN NORWAY and ICELAND
\nAnd the FAROES how they be
\nAble to actually sleep at night
\nDoing what they do
\nAnd China Vietnam and other places too<\/p>\n
The drive fishing in TAIJI
\nWe are suffering so
\nWhole family pods are being butchered
\nAs you clearly know
\nDriving pithing agony
\nAnd selection for captivity
\nThats slow death and torture
\nWhich you profit from you be
\nStealing from the worlds resource
\nExerting your countrol
\nJAPAN Not just TAIJI but other places
\nThat lack soul<\/p>\n
We are suffering and dying
\nAnd despite cove guardians who
\nAre trying to help us are trying hard
\nThere is not much they can do
\nThese fishermen are evil
\nMoney grabbing freaks
\nWe have no love or respect for them
\nTheir cabals and their cliques<\/p>\n
Striped and risso’s are dying
\nAnd bottlenose are too
\nTo watch ones family slaughtered
\nWe all know what they do
\nOur ability to feel is heightened
\nWithin, our minds eye
\nOur echo location mechanism
\nIs very very high<\/p>\n
We are very very sensitive
\nAnd with emotions running high
\nIts in our nature to not escape
\nWhen our parents or family lie
\nIn mortal danger in these pens
\nOr inside these vile nets
\nWhere The frogmen and those with pikes
\nAre subject to karmic debts<\/p>\n
Where clearly the mindless profiteers
\nWith, no thought for us
\nNo empathy for our little calves
\nOf course we kick a fuss
\nWe are passionate and loving
\nWe really and honestly care
\nMore so than those fishermen
\nWho just bring us despair<\/p>\n
They have a sort of hollowness
\nIts ugly to perceive
\nNot a sliver of compassion
\nWho really dares believe
\nThat so called human beings
\nCould really be so thick
\nThat their blood is clearly acidic
\nAnd that they are truly sick<\/p>\n
Overall fhe human being
\nHas very little care
\nFishermen just dump their gear
\nEvery sodding where
\nAll of us are eating plastic
\nOil based evil mess
\nThats killing life like crazy
\nAnd we have little redress<\/p>\n
Mercury and cadmium
\nAnd PFOS Those three
\nBut corexit that oil based cleaner
\nAnd your DDT
\nRoundup now in farm spills
\nAnd pesticides galore
\nRadiation from FUKUSHIMA
\nIts an All out war<\/p>\n
We feel so threatened these days
\nCaptivity it kills
\nSEA WORLD AND THE OTHERS
\nOur blood and soul urge spills
\nThese dirty filthy man made tanks
\nSupposedly the same
\nFacilities as our ocean homes
\nMy goddess where’s the blame<\/p>\n
Tiny no depth to speak of
\nNo life force none at all
\nHaving to live on dead food
\nFrom buckets off the wall
\nNo plant life nothing living
\nBut bacteria and pain
\nAnd sunburn and infections
\nThe whole thing is insane<\/p>\n
Cruelty personified for profit
\nAnd all the lies
\nPoor tilikum at 30 odd years
\nMet with his demise
\nStolen from his mother
\nAnd abused yes every day
\nNo wonder he killed a trainer
\nWho shouldn’ have been there anyway<\/p>\n
The arrogance of the captors
\nThe ignorance of those who
\nPay to see a giant in a bath tub
\nAnd believe its true
\nAll the crap they tell the crowds
\nAbout longevity
\nAnd emotional feelings
\nWhen they are stolen from the sea<\/p>\n
JApan is killing over 20,000 of us
\nEach year
\nTaiji a count for 2000 or so
\nThe rest all swim in fear
\nKilled snd that is just japan
\nOther countries too
\nAre killing whales and dolphins
\nFor that is what they do<\/p>\n
And we love life like you do
\nWe love to be alive
\nWe dont want to be slaughtered
\nWe wish to survive
\nTo see our family slaughtered
\nTo hear their deep down cries
\nTo know the blood we swim in
\nIs our blood which they disguise
\nUnder the tarps so threatening
\nThe expletives are loud and clear
\nOf course we try to struggle
\nWe all die in such fear<\/p>\n
Watching the blood drain from us
\nThat rotten pithing tool
\nIt doesnt hurt they tell you
\nWell only a bloody fool
\nWould imagine shoving a metal spike
\nDeep inside our spine
\nAnd wiggling and using a peg
\nOr stopper remeber we swim in brine
\nThe pain is excruciating
\nAnd less blood hits the sea
\nSo we die drowning in our blood
\nYes folks internally<\/p>\n
With our mothers with our lovers
\nWith our children often too
\nAll of us are best friends
\nAll of us care its true
\nWe never leave our family
\nUnlike the human kind
\nThe bitter ugly disturbed bunch
\nOf fiends that must be blind<\/p>\n
They are apparent robots
\nIts just monotony
\nThey are sort of on their treadmill
\nIn adversity
\nRegimented morons
\nUndeviating from
\nCharacterless and featureless
\nLacking true aplomb<\/p>\n
Thats what we are up against
\nUs angels of the sea
\nWe save our own kind and your kind
\nIf in difficulty
\nOur brains are bigger weight for weight
\nAnd we think and ofcourse we care
\nWe believe in equality
\nFor we all breathe the same air<\/p>\n
Our name comes from Delphinidae
\nFish with a womb the greeks did say
\nSome 10 million years aquatic
\nAnd before that walked the land
\nAs ungulates instinctively
\nOur ancestral route
\nOur memory really is key
\nAnd we are astute<\/p>\n
We think we ponder long and hard
\nIn 10 years where will we be
\nAll dead and we realise now
\nIts a possiblity
\nThe way you humans treat the ocean
\nIts your dustbin where
\nYou just dump what you do not want
\nWhich is of course unfair<\/p>\n
We breathe through our blowholes
\nVoluntary breathers are we
\nAnd sometimes when we swim around
\nWe think now we could be
\nDiving to the bottom
\nOr beaching on the sand
\nThis world itwas once our paradise
\nBut now its out of hand<\/p>\n
Oil slicks streams of sewerage
\nRadiations rife
\nMuch of that will be around
\nNiw Forever all that strife
\nFor ever strontium 90
\nAnd plutonium as well
\nNo wonder its named after
\nThe bloody god from Hell<\/p>\n
Seismic blasts oil exploration
\nThe navy’s sonic booms
\nExercises in the sea explosions
\nAnd more tombs
\nCreated for us all
\nWe live where its happening
\nWhere the bombs do fall<\/p>\n
We are more than frightened
\nAs to future trends
\nAnd we do feel so threatened
\nLosing so many friends
\nTaiji we detest that place
\nFhe faroe islands too
\nThey turn the sea to crimson
\nFrom its beautiful aqua blue<\/p>\n
Protectors march in towns and cities
\nThat much we do hear
\nPoetry and songsters
\nWe know it all is clear
\nThere are a growing number
\nOf angels around the world
\nFighting for us crying for us
\nWhen we have been hurled<\/p>\n
Into pens and aquaria
\nIn deserts far away
\nTo live in chlorinated bath tubs
\nUnril infact they slay
\nUs kill our inner spirit
\nAnd we decide to go
\nIts happening all around the globe
\nWe are giving up you know<\/p>\n
Its better to be dead than in this constant
\nSlavery
\nGuinea pigs all being fed with big pharma infamy
\nToxic imbalancing chemicals which sicken us more each day
\nAnd often slimy stinking fish in the last dregs of decay
\nOne more time we appeal to you
\nTry to get TAIJI
\nTo stop this vile drive fishing
\nAnd just let us swim free
\nTry to get the Jaoanese to stop the whaling for they
\nAre not researching anything they are liars all the way
\nTry to stop the Faroes butchering the pilot whales
\nAnd realise if you cant do this
\nThen all our holy grails
\nWill Not help them
\nWe shall Start besching snd dying in those pools
\nFor we are at the crossroads
\nOur existence dependent on fools<\/p>\n
