Communication happens we know
\nOut of fulfilment
\nThe punctillious flow
\nRespect for each other
\nAnd deep understanding
\nGreat acts of courtesy
\nAnd a good landing<\/p>\n
Indigenous people
\nProjected their feelings
\nWith animal spirits
\nIn a good tempered way
\nKeen to pay homage
\nAnd thus to acknowledge
\nAn outcome and offering
\nIn which each would pay<\/p>\n
A spiritual relationship
\nClearly was present
\nBorn out of respect
\nFor a need that could be
\nFulfilled by a passing
\nAnd a ritual thereafter
\nPreparing the reincarnation
\nAnd we<\/p>\n
who harpooned the great whales
\nOr speared the marsupials
\nNever a female with baby
\nFor they
\nDisrespect creation
\nAnd ongoing spirits
\nAnd the wishes of both parties
\nOn the given day<\/p>\n
To lie on ones deathbed
\nAnd to be transported
\nAhead of the angels
\nDown to the blue sea
\nUnder the umiak and to be feeling
\nEach whalers heartbeat
\nAnd where they be<\/p>\n
In the great scheme of things
\nAn exchange it does happen
\nA harpoon a spear
\nAn allegiance of sorts
\nFidelity constant
\nTo give to receive
\nRespect at the outset
\nA marriage of thoughts<\/p>\n
Both parties profit
\nThey give for each other
\nAnd reincarnate
\nAs a wolf maybe so
\nPerhaps a goanna
\nA roo or a bowhead
\nEither way
\nBoth can be
\nBack in the flow<\/p>\n
The birth of the totem
\nThe principled offering
\nThe unsullied untarnished
\ngift of the age
\nTo give up ones flesh
\nTo accomodate others
\nAnd to then know ones bones
\nWill form a new page<\/p>\n
In the annuls of life
\nWith respect to each passing
\nThere is a commitment
\nA magickal sense
\nBut nowadays killers
\nPick out the females
\nThey go against nature
\nAnd so they commense<\/p>\n
Upon a dark journey
\nOf corruptibility
\nShameful for profit
\nWorthless villainy
\nThe Japanese whalers
\nThe minke mothers
\nHarpooned with infants
\nInside them they be<\/p>\n
The roo’s with their joeys
\nAnd pinkies emerging
\nTorn down by shooters
\nIn the dead of the night
\nNo respect ever given
\nJust murderous evil
\nThe future is violence
\nCalamitous blight<\/p>\n
All animals feel
\nThe great need to replenish
\nTo replicate life forms
\nTo reincarnate
\nThe indigenous culture
\nHas honestly known this
\nAnd holds in high esteem
\nThe power to create<\/p>\n
The slaughter of whales
\nAnd the murder of Roo’s
\nIs still going on now
\nSuch despicable news
\nSuch contempt and disdainfulness
\nIts wholly wrong
\nIn the grand scheme of life
\nIt can never belong<\/p>\n
It isn’t sustainable
\nNot any more
\nThe will of the spirit
\nComes to deaths door
\nWith no gift to reincarnate
\nAnd therefore
\nA death thats not warranted
\nNot any more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
