living life and sharing<br \/>\nOf facing competition<br \/>\nAnd making life your mission<br \/>\nLife is pure and sacred<br \/>\nWhich ever life we view<br \/>\nOur lives and our families lives<br \/>\nAnd all lives for they do<br \/>\nRepresent creation the miracle of life<br \/>\nWhether an Ant or an elephant<br \/>\nOr a dolphin,  added strife<br \/>\nAnd senselessness in killing<br \/>\nWantonly should be<br \/>\nRealised as sinful<br \/>\nBy all with eyes to see<\/p>\n<p>The indiscriminate murdering<br \/>\nOf wildness in the ocean<br \/>\nIn the seas and rivers<br \/>\nReally that sad notion<br \/>\nOf Seine netting it\u2019s invention<br \/>\nAnd use commercially<br \/>\nTells us just how sick we have become<br \/>\nAnd how we be<br \/>\nKilling and creating by-catch<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a word<br \/>\nWe have made it up to make it sound<br \/>\npalatable it\u2019s absurd<br \/>\nIt\u2019s wicked and it\u2019s wholly wrong<br \/>\nWith system in place we<br \/>\nHunt and fish for living souls<br \/>\nWho creatively are free<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps we want one type of fish<br \/>\nAnd catch a whole lot more<br \/>\nQuota\u2019s in place or just we face<br \/>\nThe impression we ignore<br \/>\nLife and all its meaning<br \/>\nCreation it\u2019s denied<br \/>\nThe purse Seine we employ it<br \/>\nAnd in its death throes hide<br \/>\nA fishing boat this week<br \/>\nWas caught in Mevagissey Bay<br \/>\nRing netting with a purse Seine<br \/>\nWith DOLPHINS in the way<br \/>\nthey May have been after mackerel<br \/>\nBut indiscriminate use<br \/>\nOf Seine nets means<br \/>\nThe DOLPHINS were liable to abuse<\/p>\n<p>Wild dolphins are more sensitive<br \/>\nThan the fishermen and they<br \/>\n hate to be<br \/>\nCaught up in the Seine nets<br \/>\nFor the way<br \/>\nThey  are in fact constructed<br \/>\nMeans a buffeting ensues<br \/>\nAnd this stresses the sensitives<br \/>\nWhich for me is awful news<br \/>\nIt\u2019s possible  that some carnivores<br \/>\nConsuming death each day<br \/>\nDon\u2019t mind being indiscriminate in their killing<br \/>\nEvery day<br \/>\nThey don\u2019t care if some measly crab or sea urchin is lost<br \/>\nAs long as they catch their mackerel<br \/>\nThe rest can just be tossed<br \/>\nBack into the ocean this is improbity<br \/>\nReality says it\u2019s wasteful but it criminality<br \/>\nTo create life is miraculous to obliterate life therefore<br \/>\nIs wrong and deemed iniquitous<br \/>\nWe are now making war<br \/>\nThe quest for whatever species<br \/>\nThe indiscriminate must<br \/>\nBe considered criminal<br \/>\nAnd totally unjust<\/p>\n<p>The vessel caught in Cornwall<br \/>\nShould have been reported, they<br \/>\nShould have had their bloody catch<br \/>\nAll taken away<br \/>\nBy-catch is creating victims<br \/>\nAll the time<br \/>\nIt\u2019s wrong on every count<br \/>\nAnd the figures climb and climb<br \/>\nWords like cull and by catch<br \/>\nSofter words that let<br \/>\nThe human being off<br \/>\nWhilst we are in the debt<br \/>\nOf creation and our Mother<br \/>\nWho serves us everywhere<br \/>\nThe biosphere is suffering<br \/>\nFrom what is our despair<\/p>\n<p>Trapping seining indiscriminate hunting<br \/>\nMust be banned<br \/>\nQuotas like the EU quota\u2019s<br \/>\nWho can understand<br \/>\nThrow back by-catch wastage<br \/>\nOf living created souls<br \/>\nIs arrogance personified<br \/>\nAnd we must put in controls<\/p>\n<p>To stop this wholesale slaughter<br \/>\nWhatever else we do<br \/>\nMore of us should eat  less<br \/>\nAnd be entirely true<br \/>\nBy catch it is murder<br \/>\nIt is criminal<br \/>\nAnd should<br \/>\nBe seen as such and perpetrators<br \/>\nAre anything but good<br \/>\nIgnorance and insensitivity<br \/>\nThe other day<br \/>\nCaused the death of dolphins<br \/>\nIn Mevaggissey  Bay<br \/>\nThat is a great sadness<br \/>\nThe fisherman should be<br \/>\nHauled before the courts<br \/>\nAnd all then made to pay <\/p>\n<p>Politically correct words<br \/>\nSoftening so to say<br \/>\nLike culling which is murder<br \/>\nLike by catch it is way<br \/>\nOff the point of no return<br \/>\nIt is evil to the core<br \/>\nAnd So many other words in use<br \/>\nWhich sensitives  abhor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commerciality In the world of animals Can tragically create
