Peter Benchley’s sensationalism
\nTook the shark and lifted them
\nInto the psyche and beyond
\nInto the water lets respond
\nTo the music and the ominous fin
\nThat breaks the surface
\nTo underpin
\nThe element of total fear
\nWithin us all
\nThat does appear<\/p>\n
This perfect design
\nThis compact soul
\nAn apex predator
\nIn control
\nPart of the food chain
\nA carnivore
\nA conductor of music
\nWho knows the score<\/p>\n
Fluid fill canals
\nJust under the skin
\nIts about vibrations
\nAnd how they pin
\nA novel approach to sensing prey
\nReally from very far away<\/p>\n
In culinary circles
\nThe far east
\nReally dwells hard on this beast
\nSharks fin soup a gelatinous stew
\nits pointless eating thats my view
\nAnything positive Shout out loud
\nEating the soup won’t make you proud<\/p>\n
Severed alive and left to die
\nSuffocated ask me why
\nYu chi tang a lousy soup
\nTasteless gooey snub the group
\nIs out on why we assassinate
\nMillions of sharks that we don’t create<\/p>\n
Each to his own but sharks are friends
\nApex predation really lends
\nItself now to the biosphere
\nWho checks the balances every year?
\nSlaughtering sharks is destroying life
\nCreating imbalance and so much strife
\nMore prey animals everywhere
\nEating the food, are we aware?
\nOf the need to stop this
\nAnd by so doing
\nStop killing sharks
\nFor Its our undoing<\/p>\n
We destroy ourselves
\nAnd the great food web
\nAnd its really when life begins to ebb
\nWhen there is less predation
\nPrey animals prey
\nOn just more and more food every day
\nCausing the shortages
\nWe all know
\nWe need the sharks
\nTo always show<\/p>\n
To display their vigour
\nTheir image too
\nThey leave an impression
\nOh yes they do
\n“Jaws” was all fiction
\nThrough and through
\nAnd it meant sharks were murdered
\nWhich is true<\/p>\n
Leave the sharks alone they are essential
\nTo the health and the wellbeing of our oceans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
