Leave our whales alone and dolphins too

This is not an anti Japanese rant, no, for we are all guilty of all kinds of cruelty against creatures, millions live and die this very day, and every day, but we protest all of this God awful state of our world, we protest, for them, for they cannot defend themselves against our cruel onslaught, this week it's Whales, next week Seals, then Foi Gras, Horse slaughter, factory farms, bullfighting, canned hunting, the fur skinners, and on and on it goes, I hope that maybe someday we have some success, and someday everyone will find enough enlightenment and compassion to do something about it, until then I will do my bit. I have retired the Megaphone for tonight, but tomorrow when my sore throat is healed, I shall shout again, and again, bless you all.

 

 
 
 
In hiding from the truth,
Saving face behind darkened blinds,
Killers with the pen uncouth,
Near their desks you’ll find,
 
Megaphones in hand, and placards tall,
Old and young and very young,
Shouting help for whales they call,
All but fifty strong,
 
Guards and trucks and Mounties too,
Strong brick walls and fences,
Some, we sure got through,
Wore down some of their defences,
 
Small sound bites, their actions chides,
Coward actions on the sea,
In small staccato bites,
These whales belong to me,
 
My children and then theirs,
They don’t belong to you,
We the world is heirs,
The unkind things you do,
 
Send your boats were they belong,
Harbour them at home
Bring them home to old Japon,
And leave our whales alone.©14/01/2010

I can think of no reason to kill a whale. Not one. Patrick

Another very apt and timely write, Jasmin. I'm afraid I tend to agree with Ed. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

for we are all guilty of all kinds of cruelty against God's creatures

And I very sadly doubt, it will ever change until there are no creatures left to be cruel towards.

Jasmin,
This entire subject distresses me so much I can't even watch nature documentaries any more, and I have a very low opinion of those 'presenters' who handle animals, literally pull them out of their habitats and comfort for their cameras - shame on them; that of course is a pet hate and your humane, elegant poem goes far beyond and above.
Bless you for this, Compassionate Man!

John

God put everybody on Earth but didn't gave the order or permission to slaughter. So, from where man got his "go ahead"?

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
