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
