Long finned Pilot Whales
\nAnd some white sided Dolphins sadly
\nDriven to shore and slaughtered
\nBy those islanders who gladly
\nPreviously trained to use The spinal cord lance or monustingari
\nTo dispatch each of us mammals
\nSo a truly fine shikari<\/p>\n
Due to activism this ritual blade is used
\nThere was a time when anything would do
\nIn house science warns them of the toxicity apparent
\nMercury PCB’s and DDT and others too
\nSome 23 towns have the special beaches
\nAnd can kill
\nAfter cutting the whales spine
\nUntil the whales are still
\nThey touch the eye before the neck is severed
\nTo ensure that we are good and dead
\nThey do this with the grindaknivur
\nAccording to their law
\nThe grindalogin which has dearly led<\/p>\n
The many the community to share the wholesome treat
\nWe can be eaten fresh or salted
\nOr wind dried quite a feat
\nA delicacy They would have you believe
\nWhich has nutrients galore
\nAnd minerals and Vitamin D
\nAnd who could ask for more?<\/p>\n
Rather than exporting fish
\nThey could have eaten that
\nBut they prefer to export it
\nAnd Risk our toxic fat
\nAnd of course they like to participate
\nIn the excitement of the chase
\nOf slaughterIng the lot of us
\nSeen by as a disgrace<\/p>\n
Unborn children babies
\nSwimming with their mothers
\nFathers uncles elders sisters and some disabled brothers
\nTheir utopian existence cut short in the melee
\nThe mayhem and the evil and what is our misery
\nIts culture its tradition its what keeps the Faroes real
\nAnd anyone who objects to it really cannot feel
\nThe flavoursome reaction the need for our blubber and
\nThe factor that its free of charge
\nAlso seen as grand<\/p>\n
Along with seabirds and their eggs
\nNutrition is their thing
\nLots now do not eat the whale
\nWith the nutrition that it does bring
\nPreferring the chicken and pizza
\nAnd the supermarket fayre
\nPerhaps the times are changing
\nPerhaps the young are more aware<\/p>\n
Saying that the grindadrap
\nAttracts all of the town
\nChildren come and see the blood
\nAnd watch the crimson crown
\nOf froth and snot and innards
\nSoak into the brine
\nWeathered by the experience
\nAnd having to keep in line<\/p>\n
Mention a vegan diet
\nAnd they all jump up and down
\nWho the hell are we to interfere
\nTheir cries soon drown
\nOut the activism
\nThat social media brings
\nTheir medieval banquet
\nThese so called viking kings<\/p>\n
The cries and the emotion
\nThe bravery we see
\nOf animals in peril
\nPulled out of the sea
\nWith the blowhole hooks
\nAnd their patriarchal power
\nPlaying the angels back and forth
\nSo they may soon devour<\/p>\n
The innocence whose courage
\nGave strength to those young souls
\nClearly frightened out of their minds
\nHeroes versus trolls
\nNot one soul would leave another
\nUnlike the humans who
\nWould panic and think of themselves
\nThats not what we whales do<\/p>\n
Humanity you call yourselves
\nHumane thats such a joke
\nTbis is inhuman behaviour
\nMurder with every stroke
\nA maelstrom of adversity
\nOne cannot imagine how
\nWe sensitive beings
\nManage but We just have to somehow<\/p>\n
Our individuality
\nEach heart each soul each core
\nEach imagines they are immortal
\nAnd what they are here for
\nTo survive and be enduring
\nTo coexist and be
\nAngels in a world of grief
\nAnd pollutive constancy<\/p>\n
A great vacuum of emptiness
\nOf annihilation too
\nErasure from a planet
\nThat creation gave you to
\nNullified and wiped out
\nVisionaries of soul
\nUnimagined miracles
\nKilled by the uncontrolled<\/p>\n
Those lacking any substance
\nA meagreness of mind
\nAn illusion in a bubble
\nInessential underlined
\nSo many of us sacrificed
\nTo fill the mangy gut
\nWasted diabolical
\nFor us open and shut<\/p>\n
The faroe island throwbacks
\nWhose hostility is high
\nFor them its confrontation
\nFor us we wonder why
\nOur miracle was lost and
\nTheir excrement we became
\nYet we never experienced hatred
\nWhatever that lot claim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
