Whale Wars
We kill without
Compassion
The innocence of
The sea
The heart of
The ocean
The awe of
Wonder that
Crests above
The waves
We kill what
We are
Destined to
Save
And below
We bury
The truth—
The sinking guts of
Who we are when
We grow cold in
Our reverence when
We choose money
Over life when
We take the gun
And let
The harpoon fly—
Not for
Survival
But for
Worldly greed
When we
Shoot them—
We shoot
Ourselves first
And it’s our
Humanity
That bleeds—
We lose a bit of
Ourselves in
The frigid
Antarctic sea
That is desperate
To keep
It’s beloved
Majesty—
Just to be
Just to be free
They swim
And swim
Trying to
Flee but
They can’t
Escape nor
Can we
The death of
This paradise—
The death of
Eden and
In these wars
Who is winning?
The angel of
Death or
The devil’s
Son when
The devils
Work in
Greed is
Being done?
When we
Kill the innocent
We are left with
None—
Nothing more
For us
To see
To give us
Hope for
Us to
Believe that
We are
Meant to be
One with
Love and
Compassion with
Wonder and
Dream—
We can create
The life
We believe
To be
To be with
Reverence with
The innocence of
The sea
This is our salvation—
The redemptions of
The forgotten dream—
That all is not what
It seems—
Just for
Us—
Just for us
To believe in
Something
Greater than
The mass slaughter of
Our greatest
Ancestor is
The dream of
Majesty for
Our sacred
Humanity
Let us
Break free
Break free from
This greed and
Let them live free
So they may be
And so shall we
Be living
Our universal
Destiny
Together as
One cresting
Above
Our darkness in
Hope to
Capture only
This splendor of
Living in
Peace on
Earth together
