More Dolphins being sacrificed
in Japan's TAI JI
50 or so striped ones
Very unfortunately
Torn to peices, hacked until
all their precious blood they spill
How I feel for these poor souls
Scared to death by the long poles
Messing with their sonar they
Are driven to the Cove today
Sentient mammals,deserve more
From these crazed brutes who live
for gore
Who wade on through their living blood
Who so enjoy the final thud
Of a dying creature
whose agony
even the local children see
Their blood in such profusion stains
The streets around Taiji
Such carnage incapacitates the likes
of you and me
We feel so helpless witnessing
all that these men do
Cretaceans whose intelliigence
even in death shows through
