There is one true angel
\nOf mammalian descent
\nPerhaps the true vegan
\nWho shares its consent
\nAt the meadows of sea grass
\nWhere sparseness is true
\nIn those hollows of greenery
\nDugongs do chew
\nSecretive long lived
\nThoughtful they be
\nClose to extinction
\nAs elephants free
\nTo roam in audacious lament
\nIn the coastal meadows
\nPerhaps heaven sent<\/p>\n
Stellar \u2018s sea cow
\nA cousin of long ago
\nNow long extinct
\nWho swam much below
\nThe horizon of health
\nIn its great wealth of knowing
\nIt\u2019s peaceful existence
\nNever overflowing<\/p>\n
Sirenia small eyes
\nAn eleven ounce brain
\nBeautiful hearing
\nOf the oceans refrain
\nEach sequence each soul urging
\nSound of the deep
\nThe notion of motion
\nThe calming of sleep
\nSemi nomadic
\nA dolphin like tail
\nA tubiform body
\nThe gentlest trail
\nThe timbre of teeming
\nThe cadence the soul
\nFrom the roots to the tips
\nOf the sea grass
\nEach shoal<\/p>\n
Witnessed and studied
\nIn sweetness and light
\nEach arpeggio gracing the ear drums
\nAs slight
\nAs is possible really
\nThe dugong perceives
\nIt\u2019s harmonic vistas
\nWhere it achieves
\nMuch in the way
\nOf the sea grass and more
\nand in many ways really
\nIt finds that it\u2019s war
\nWith the Aboriginie
\nThe ancient race
\nWho hunted before
\nAnd who now does disgrace
\nHistory really despite native rights
\nWhat is happening tragically
\nThe fewer fights<\/p>\n
We are being slaughtered
\nFor our oil and meat
\nMurdered in cold blood
\nArtless defeat
\nThe illiterate see us
\nBut fail in a way
\nTo realise angelic seraphics say
\nOur end as before
\nWith stellas sea cow
\nSo many Lay vanquished
\nReally now how
\nCan we carry on being
\nOur angelic selves
\nWith the violence and evil
\nThe pedantry elves
\nBluffing their way
\nUnknowing perhaps
\nInsensitive souls
\nJust common chaps<\/p>\n
Now unenlightened
\nNot as before
\nTheir ancestral wisdom
\nIs lost in the war
\nTo murder us
\nImpale our life forms
\nand hear
\nOur death throes
\nOur screaming
\nOur ultimate fear
\nTo the Aboriginie Nation
\nMy message to you
\nFrom the only true vegan
\nThat swims in the blue
\nThat harvests the sea grass
\nIn sparse fields and knows
\nIt\u2019s need is to give
\nAnd enjoy some sweet prose
\nIt\u2019s swirling existence
\nIt\u2019s destiny now
\nLet\u2019s protect those still
\nLeft the dugong or sea cow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
