It's Their Fault, Not Ours

-It’s Extremely Difficult To Remain Hopeful Anymore-

 

“The fishermen are less than fond of these animals.

They say these seals are responsible for polluting the water,

And, for devouring our remaining supply of fish.”

 

A Recent Article in the Boston Globe,

On the Massacre of Six Grey Seals

 

 

Music: Barrel of a Gun

 

 

It’s not bad enough, that our pollution is now killing them

We now resort to murdering them, with our rifles and guns

As we have so greedily over-fished, most of Earth’s oceans

The Battle of Man vs. Animal for Remaining Fish, has begun

 

We humans are already rationalizing that it’s their fault, not ours

What possible rights could they possibly have to devour ‘our fish’

Many of we human beings, in our dying world, these horrific days

Have already developed a callous, life-ending,  ‘Animal Death Wish’

 

Several murdered dolphins have washed up on California’s beaches

And recently, six adult grey seals, found shot to death, on Cape Cod

Surely, our human right to Earth’s remaining fish, far outweighs theirs

As we now fight for what’s left, killing Earth’s mammals, no longer odd

 

Today, many of our ‘leaders’ proudly advocate gunning down wolves from the sky

We also now round up and murder wild horses and wild bison, for eating ‘our grass’

And now, even the marine mammals, which many had once admired and respected

Are being gunned down, in a world that we are now destroying, so god-damned fast

 

I am already hearing the very same lame rationalizations about bears and birds of prey;

“We simply cannot allow them to keep on consuming ‘our dwindling resources’ today.”

 

After we bring all of these animal competitors to their end,

I now so very sadly wonder who or what we will blame then.

 


And if you still don't believe that Earth’s fish are now in decline,

Do some research on our grocery store ‘fresh fish’ labeling today;

What you believe to be Pacific Salmon, or perhaps even Red Snapper,

May be something far different; yet for pricey vanishing fish, you will pay.

Giving ourselves rights we don't have,
and we seem to be awarding ourselves more
and more of them each day, is one of the surest
signs of desperation, a no-way-back signal.
Ed, we are pathetic bastards, but a few good souls,
and you are at the top of my list, still care and fight.
Bless you every day.

John

Living in Mo. where the only fish that are fresh are caught nearby. I don't want to eat those and ocean fish usually smell fishy by the time they make it to our market. No way. But who will be the next people at fault oh, I'm like you and don't really want to know because I'm afraid I am probably in one of those hated groups somehow. Excellent write. Too bad. I just shake my head in wonder and sorrow. Liz

Too true, what else will we blame once the animals are all gone, or maybe the right question is WHO WILL WE BLAME...? e
