Who was it
\nWho caught dolphins
\nAnd killed and cut away
\nAnd filled their bodies
\nUp with bricks
\nAnd sent them on their way
\nWas it a dolphin lover
\nA carer
\nOr someone
\nWho wanted to hide
\nNis misdeeds
\nWhen the day was done<\/p>\n
it is an allegation
\nIt happened and some of us know
\nWho it was
\nCould we do that
\nI would\u2019t want to go
\nDown that road to hell
\nFor there just really is no way back
\nCalling yourself a saintly soul
\nFor me something you lack<\/p>\n
Captivity is wrong on all counts
\nLet me say
\nThe lockdown that we see
\nThe global crap thats happening
\nDespite our probity
\nWe actually have no shackles
\nWe actually have no locks
\nThe ocean we can hear
\nBut you build walls around us
\nAnd fail to see each tear<\/p>\n
That runs on down our faces
\nWe could leap away
\nBut you said that you loved us
\nYour five star trips they pay
\nFor you to visit freedom
\nAnd be thrown out of TAiji
\nThe Japanese dont want you there
\nWhy go there actually<\/p>\n
You cannot save us dolphins
\nYou killed us once so why
\nShould anybody trust you
\nYour being, is it high
\nYou have a tranche of followers
\nBut do they know your game
\nThe in fighting the abusiveness
\nIt isn\u2019t all you claim<\/p>\n
Sugar Loaf is bankrupt
\nAnd still we have Taiji
\nAll the money and all the trips
\nIncriminations be
\nRampant in the ether
\nOn twitter tweet storms rage
\nAnd still the banging boats go out
\nAnd we read page after page<\/p>\n
We are still outside the embassies
\nGiving them all some grief
\nOld and young all still among
\nThose that feign belief
\nDespite fraternal feelings
\nAnd tolerance we see
\nThat Sea Worlds making money
\nFrom China\u2019s misanthropy<\/p>\n
The chlorine\u2019s getting stronger
\nOur skin begins to peel
\nIt gets into our sensitive eyes
\nThe pain is very real
\nMade to leap through sodding hoops
\nAnd live Mostly on ice
\nDosed up with your prozac
\nAnd perhaps a throw of dice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
