The Whales
Quick,save yourselves sang the males to babies and mothers,
We'll try to distract them,flee to the other channel,
They swam frantic and frightened,baby kept up with mother
They were hunted relentlessly by the metal bird in the sky
Who gave directions to the men in boats,and they captured a baby,
Fathers,mothers,other babies stretched out in a long line calling,crying,raging,mourning,
The baby's horror was felt by all her brethren,
They did not attack the ones that made war on them,these peaceful and majestic ones,
Baby was placed in a water cage,mother,freedom,and home gone,
Tricks to be performed for unknowing fools,
Owners to be made rich from baby's kin,
Evil on the waters,death,slavery,and sin.

Thank you.We have to get better as humans.These matters should
always be exposed for what they are.These gifts given should always
be respected.Hugs to you also.
such excellent work, Barbara, full of 'humanity' and its 'inhumanity' to other species, and to think, things have actually gotten better over the last 100 years; in relative terms; no more need for whale oil and so on and so forth, a very sad matter indeed, told exceptionally well by you, cheers poet
Thank you Christopher for your beautiful comment.Warms my heart.I’m glad about the improvements but they’re still our prisoners.How wrong is that? But there is always hope.Best to you always.?
My Dear Barbara,
From underneath its iron sides
The baby hears it's Mothers cries
Kidnapped just three days ago
Her captured child, now in stow
.
She follows till it reaches port
She will die attempting her last resort
Her baby hears her final breath
As she sinks forever to ocean's depths
Love,
Larry xxx
