You feel the harpoon being released
It sends vibrations throughout your body
You here the scream of the whale
You see it struggle fighting to get away
A gun is shot
Half a dozen times
The struggle is over in less than an hour
The blue ocean water
Now has a crimson tint of blood
The whale is dead
An unecesarry death
For such a beautiful creature
Can you witness
Or even hear this
Without a tear in your eyes
Or your heart burn in anger
Are we really human
If humans can do such things
They turn creatures
Of the sea
Into food
The water is now tainted with blood
Because of our hands
And we shall always be haunted by their last words of despair.
