the truth a film I watched Today"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2\/3rds of this planet is ocean<br \/>\n<!--more-->Filled up with immeasurable wealth<br \/>\nBut man un kind tragically<br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t perceptive enough<br \/>\nAnd prefers to use stealth<br \/>\nHis industrial brain has worked overtime<br \/>\nDesigning industrial ways<br \/>\nof catching huge numbers of earthlings<br \/>\nIt has been a murderous phase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Competition with Nations to catch more and more<br \/>\nSeine nets and Long Lines, and Trawlers galore<br \/>\nThe awful destruction, the terror it causes<br \/>\n&#8220;Hiroshima&#8221; day in day out and<br \/>\nno pauses<br \/>\nEvery conceivable creature is crushed<br \/>\nWith Man unkind clueless, no doubt<br \/>\nDriven by money, and profit and blinded<br \/>\nBy what some were putting about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">They ripped off each other what else could they do<br \/>\nBy catch went back in the sea<br \/>\ndying too<br \/>\nThe scramble for stocks all they wanted we know<br \/>\nAnd this death and destruction continued to grow<br \/>\n100 million tonnes caught every year<br \/>\na 1\/3rd of it crushed into meal<br \/>\nFed back to farmed fish, to chickens and pigs<br \/>\nWhat a terrible waste but so real<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With all of our so called computers<br \/>\nAnd our brains so extended we make<br \/>\nTerrible errors leading to terrors<br \/>\nAnd many their hearts now do break<br \/>\nAt the needlessly cruel death of oceans<br \/>\nGreat seas of plastic that be<br \/>\nNow being eaten by fish, floating toxics<br \/>\nIts madness that&#8217;s definately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And beaches are covered in jetsum<br \/>\nBottles and crates everywhere<br \/>\nPeople don&#8217;t see a shared planet<br \/>\nthe sea is their dustbin, unaware<br \/>\nIt sinks and its gone, from the simpletons mind<br \/>\nTill some fish that he eats comes along<br \/>\nAnd swallows the shit that he&#8217;s slung in the sea<br \/>\nSo many are doing it wrong<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The kit that they have in their head<br \/>\nHas been mortally damaged<br \/>\nsadly by what they have ate<br \/>\nThe mercury, PCB&#8217;s and all the lead<br \/>\nThey too have paid a terrible debt<br \/>\nIts not just the fish in the oceans<br \/>\nBut their own sick and warped little minds<br \/>\nThe burgers, the sausages and the dead animals<br \/>\nThey were not aware, of the signs<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Despite Science warning<br \/>\nThe Governments still<br \/>\nRefused to set limits<br \/>\nThey won&#8217;t now until<br \/>\nThe oceans have died<br \/>\nAnd the fish have died too<br \/>\nAnd the carbon collection<br \/>\nis gone what to do?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The predator fish<br \/>\nare dying like flies<br \/>\njam packed with mercury<br \/>\nThats a surprise<br \/>\nFor the people who eat fish<br \/>\nIts toxins galore<br \/>\nAnd still we are told<br \/>\nEat some more<br \/>\nEat some more<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For that Omega 3<br \/>\nBut a fish let me say<br \/>\nis 3% oil only<br \/>\nSo needs to pay<br \/>\n20 kilo&#8217;s of fishes<br \/>\nAre wasted so you<br \/>\ncan have flexible joints<br \/>\nand good temperament too<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One litre of oil<br \/>\ncreates so much strife<br \/>\nJust imagine the earthlings<br \/>\nlosing their life<br \/>\nIts madness personified<br \/>\nBut you see they<br \/>\nGovernment yes they<br \/>\ntake taxes away<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Profits are made<br \/>\nThe parasites earn<br \/>\nAnd the fish and the people<br \/>\nThey bloody well burn<br \/>\nBut oceans are dying<br \/>\nThere is now no doubt<br \/>\nTo be VEGAN is something<br \/>\nthe world should now shout<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To the heavens<br \/>\nfor goodness sake<br \/>\nWhat we now do<br \/>\nIs kill off the planet<br \/>\nand the creatures too<br \/>\nLong lines thats<br \/>\nthousands of hooks everywhere<br \/>\nTurtles and sharks<br \/>\nand Dolphins despair<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">24 hours till some die<br \/>\nin great pain<br \/>\nLong lines are evil<br \/>\nlaid by the insane<br \/>\nso much notoriety<br \/>\ncruel to a tee<br \/>\nThe great Trawler hordes<br \/>\nAre killing the sea<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There&#8217;s so much on the sea=bed<br \/>\nevery soul<br \/>\ncrushed and smashed into a soup<br \/>\nno control<br \/>\nof the waste, of the way<br \/>\nFishermen do their stuff<br \/>\nFish do feel pain<br \/>\nand enough is enough!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Caught in great nets<br \/>\nPacked together and crushed<br \/>\nIts agony for them<br \/>\nits wrong but its hushed<br \/>\nup, people forget, what life is about<br \/>\nTill they lose a child<br \/>\nor a friend, then they shout<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But the cow in their sausage<br \/>\nthe fish on their plate<br \/>\nOr the pig in their pie<br
