Kill

The Humpback whales,
Quickly turn tails.
There`s blood on the ice,
They won`t pay the price.
Horrific scenes to see.
This carnage they flee.
Back to the open sea.
Red stains on the ice,
Sacrifice at what price.
Seals slither and slip away,
Helpless Cubs stay and play.
Clubbed to death by men of greed.
Society demands but do they need,
This brutal act that feeds the coffer.
Surely there are alternatives on offer.
The shame stays with me,
When this slaughter I see.
We must continue to fight,
For freedom`s their right.
Gods creatures are lent
They were never ment
To be hunted and killed.
But this heritage is instilled
In a world full of greed.
Yes, we have people to feed.
But as sport must they die.
To the hunt is the cry
As the fox and stag fly by
To be torn into bits,
While in fear and fits.
It`s inhuman it`s wrong
In this world they belong.
We should treasure all life
Not introduce strife
To these creatures on earth.
Why kill soon after birth?
To pander to fashion or fame
These beautiful creatures are slain.
This actions a disgrace.
And taints the whole human race.
