Divine, graceful, charming, misunderstood being
Constantly shamed for an abundance of eating
Thrashing through the sea, protector of your reef
Who knew humans would cause you such grief
An elegant creature made a killer by we
A danger to humans I would disagree
We drag large nets through your home
Taking your fish, mollusks and all that you know
We destroy your safe haven for our benefit
And we leave you on the floor without fins
Your way of frolicking and moving about and moving about
We came into your life and threw you out
And I, a feeble bystander watching you crumble
As I just sit here and silently fumble
Twiddling my thumbs as you lie on the floor
Tossing and turning and nothing more
On vacations I’d observe your domain
A lifeless being is what you’ll remain
Once your limbs are cut and sold
They are placed into a porcelain bowl
To be soup that no one likes to consume
But eaten to be seen as wealthiest in the room
Reputation and status should not be a reason
To kill of a species should be punished with treason
A betrayal of mother nature with all she’s creating
Killing her children for status and rating
In a matter of time the shark will fade
And then another species we will invade
Consuming for money and reputation
Less resources, more inflation
We all deserve a right to survive
Humans beat everyone else times five
We have clothes, weapons and tools
Creatures only have instincts and rules
To some this topic may be new
The sad truth to a sorrowful stew
