Killing pods of Pilot Whales
\nBy driving them to shore
\nAnd leaping in to cut them up
\nIs A tragedy of war
\nNever of their making
\nPeace loving gentle souls
\nSet upon by whom I see
\nAs inbred Viking trolls<\/p>\n
Its hateful to create this mayhem
\nFor the juveniles
\nFor the females, for them all
\nFor me it really riles
\nHow they all must meet their deaths
\nIn such a brutal awful way
\nSoaking in each others blood
\nFor me its hard to say<\/p>\n
This is culture this tradition
\nThis is what we do
\nThis is historicity
\nProviding us all through
\nWe are the Faroese warriors
\nSubsisting on the same
\nVarieties of modern foods
\nWhatever we now claim<\/p>\n
The ocean was their paradise
\nAnd we made it into HELL
\nSo we could fill our guts with all their agony
\nAs well
\nTo tell the truth this world we live in
\nIs as ugly as can be
\nAnd To Pilot Whales
\nI apologize
\nFor what we do to thee.<\/p>\n
I am what I am and can never see such slaughter
\nTo be justified not in this day and age anyway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
