\nKristjan Loftssons HVALUR AF
\nPotency it truly grates
\nIn her very soul, a moments reflection
\nOn the graceful beast
\n100,000 or so still swimming
\nMurdering them is now the least
\nPrevailing thought
\nFor she knew
\nKristjan wanted to hunt them
\n169 would do<\/p>\n
These massive beasts baleen whales
\n48000 kilos weight
\nA massive vulnerability
\nContingent just to state
\nIceland as a nation
\nHad to step in and to say
\nThe killing that had gone before
\nHad to end today <\/p>\n
The great Paul Watson
\nAnd his crew
\nAboard the John Paul De Joria they
\nWere on the high seas making fast
\nTo try to stop the carnage
\nWay
\nbefore the announcement
\nThey were ready
\nTo take on the killing and to try
\nAnd stop what they all saw as madness
\nThere was no reason why<\/p>\n
Any nation should continue killing
\nIt made no sense no sense at all
\nIt was the fin whales habitation
\nA colossus constantly on call
\nA wondrous form of creative contours
\nAn adventurer and voyager who
\nLives and died within the oceans
\nIt\u2019s right to be there good and true<\/p>\n
Four tons a day of krill
\nSieved from
\nSeventy cubic metres of sea
\nThe world of a nature
\nEncompasses
\nWhat is its palpability<\/p>\n
Imagining icelandic man
\nStalking such a massive foe
\nAnd killing it with explosive charges
\nCreating a destructive woe
\nIt\u2019s brain a mind of infinite magic
\nBeing hunted in this way
\nSuffering a vile misjudgement
\nCouched in evil and dismay
\nSuffering grief and awesome sorrow
\nBlown apart to kingdom come
\nIniquitous of insidious nature
\nUnder a whalers ugly thumb<\/p>\n
What is actually pure perfection
\nImpeccable in every way
\nA peaceful giant in its arena
\nA master mariner they say
\nUncontrolled and unilateral
\nUnconquered and unbowed
\nResponsive and involved completely
\nDemonstrative and so endowed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
