The Margiris owned by the Dutch
\nSo unfair
\nA super trawler famed for its greed
\n6 thousand tonnes
\nAnd each of them bleed
\nTotal destruction of so many souls
\nIn somebody\u2019s ocean
\nActing out roles
\nThis mammoth digester
\nGrasping its way
\nThrough the great sea of life
\nIts unsated display
\nA rapacious appetite
\nHungry as hell
\nScooping up victims
\nDesigned to do well<\/p>\n

250 tonnes in one go
\nThe seas being shafted
\nWhole shoals as we know
\nRed-handedness
\nFrom under the nose
\nGiving countries distress
\nSee this monster
\nClose to the shore
\nIts utterly flagrant
\nAkin to a war
\nSuper sized vessels
\nBy catch immense
\nNot a twinge of conscience
\nIt doesn\u2019t make sense
\nIts just criminality
\nStealing as much
\nAs the great nets will hold
\nIt is so out of touch<\/p>\n

For the EU to do this
\nOff Ireland today
\nIs crass in the extreme
\nSo unfair
\nAnd no way
\nShould they be allowed
\nTo come fishing and catch
\nIts full on obduracy
\nAnd makes us latch
\nOn to the selfishness
\nOnto the guilt
\nDishing out arrogance
\nAs Oceans wilt
\nUnder the vilest insanity
\nthey
\nare given the right
\nAt the end of the day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
