Weightless, free in an
amniotic embrace
The ocean’s their sky –
navigated with grace
Some of their kind – have
vanished - without a trace
It’s humans responsible,
for this disgrace
Many stories are told of
men rescued - on the high sea
Instead of thanks –
exploited on a tourist marquee
In the interest of science
– penned like - some trainer’s pet
Thousands die every year in
the commercial, fish net
Highly intelligent –
multi-linguistic, communiqué
Many hours spent inventing
complex forms of play
When they wind up as our
victims surely their spirit we betray
Instead of learning from
them – they’re in some “exotic” buffet
For eons they’ve serve as
keepers of history
More fittingly revered as
teachers of life’s mystery
Instead of genocide
benefiting industry and fashion
They could serve as role
models for living life filled with passion
