So Others Live

demented technology
devised for the slaughter
sentient beings' blood
spills in frigid water
harpoons pierce flesh and bone
explosives detonate
senseless killing continue
a sickening fate
trivial excuses can't justify
the sane filled with rage
no reason for these creatures to die
waning numbers fade in seas
clouded with pollution
pursied to the earth's end
to near extinction
wailing fleet contronted
in harm's way at risk
the daring intervene
courage passes its test
trivial excuses cant justify
the sane filled with rage
no reason for these creatures to die
the last line of defense to save a species
shepherd's safety forfeit
so others live
now the carnage challenged
demented technology
devised for the slaughter
sentient beings' blood
splilled in frigid water
harpoons pierce flesh and bone
explosives detonate
senseless killings continue
a sickening fate
