Governments trying to hide the truth, with varying tactics.


Poem Artwork

 

 
                    An act of war!
 
To bail them out of jail,
From governments betrayal,
To close they sailed to film the truth,
How sealers little pups abuse,
Pontus and his dirty hands,
New leave to sealers grants,
Give to Caesars crown, our coin,
Taken from the plebeians loin,
 
Farley brought them by the pail,
To grant his ship could sail,
Impounded now by Caesars guard,
So in Seal manoeuvres not take part,
There on killing fields, stained red with blood,
Not give their camera a shot,
To hide their cruel deed,
And fill their tasteless greed,
 
 
                     We thought that in a democracy,
                     Public eyes were allowed to see,
What Caesar and his henchmen hide,
Or would our laws abide,
Yet they take your tithe and mine,
Tie our ship with rope and line,
Take camera, and captain too,
To leave abandoned our crew,
 
We know the bias we protest,
They make fools of us, and jest,
Red ships, and red coats, they employ,
With our hard earned coins enjoy,
Make sure that none will see,
The cruelty at sea,
Betrayed by those we pay,
Can’t show our flag, and have our say.
 
Aptly named for its good deed’s,
And for the fight it leads,
Shepherd of the sea,
Or “Sea Shepherd” to you and me,
A steward of God’s flock at sea,
To keep the sea of raiders free,
Heroes for a little coin you spent,
Fight our battles without end,
 
We pay taxes twice we do,
In tithe and taxes lieu,
The job that governments should do,
Instead we get the screw,
But Farley Mowatt our dear friend,
Keeps fighting for us to the end,
Outcry to our voices lend,
Till Caesars crown will bend.

First was man, he was alone against many, now they are many against a few, and yet man seems powerless to make himself loud enough to be heard.
"Divide and conquer" said Julius Cesar.
Today it is practiced by the politicians, they divide the people and conquer the power by giving them a little of their special interest, bread and circus, and gag any voice of protest as the one against the whole.
They said that there are all too many seals, what they will do when there are all too many people?
Just asking.

Until there is a very loud and persistent outcry these dastardly deeds will unfortunately continue. So where is green peace and others who patrol the oceans of the world and try to stop all the injustice? You are so right, this in and of itself is an act of war, brought to us by humanities injustice....

Be always safe,
Karen

Sadly, these cruel acts of seal-killing have been going on for many years; they won't deminish unless the protectors are given the same rights as the killers!Disgusting what our governments allow.

What goes around, comes around...but, the killing fields will always be laden with red, whether it be, seal pups, gorillas, elephants, or the like, taking their parts in order to line their pockets, those green with some sick desire to gsin from such blatent acts!
I commend your efforts and all those trying to make a difference!
Together WE can ALL make it change!
Love and Peace~

The taking of any life is totally appalling to me, and worse, is the taking of a life for financial gain.

How any human can justify these cruel acts is what amazes me. They must have sold their souls to satan! Thank you for sharing and caring, Jas!...ET

There on killing fields, stained red with blood,
Not give their camera a shot,
To hide their cruel deed,
And fill their tasteless greed

So very sad what our world has now become, not only in your country, but in many nations, including mine.

And if we all don't start demanding a change for the better, there will very soon, be nothing left to leave to our own children and grandchildren. I sadly wonder what future generations will say about our never ending, modern day callousness and greed.
