We were weary from the long hard swim, but found a school of size, With teamwork and excitement ,we surrounded the terrified prize, Our sonar working perfectly, our bellies soon be full, We heard a dreadful banging sound, that made my senses dull My eyes they shook inside my head, I heard my mother cry Our pod was scattered everywhere searching a way by To run from this horrendous bang, this ringing in our ears The sound it grew in length and depth, and with it carried fear The commotion and the cries from all, I never will forget, Of course we swam far fast and away, but the banging would not let It would not let us pass that way, so the other way we went Little did I know that soon, many lives of ours would be spent I swam close to my pod, every now and then I dove down deep In a panic to find some way out, from the wall of sound and beat Alas this sound it went down too far, and sure I was out of breath I couldn't stay down very long, and that banging made me deaf Right back up to the surface where the pod in disarray, Were jumping, running for their lives, all splashes cries and fray I swam fast to the very front, I saw my mother leading A inkling at the back of my mind, that a trap was where we were heading But swim I did, and run and dive, and search and try to escape Yet the sound of engines roaring, and the banging made me shake I notice rocks ahead of us, some nets, and close to shore If we did not get back to sea, I feared the worst and more The sound it was beyond us still, and only land ahead The banging closed around us, and I heard the cries of the dead Oh now this was an eerie place, blood spilled of many lives I felt their energy and souls, I heard their petrified last cries I swam next to my mother, as they behind us dropped a net We frantically pushed against it, but the net it wouldn't let, It wouldn't let us out, and my mother was now caught An engine roared right o’er our heads, my mother was distraught I tried to help her free herself, but tangled bound was she They came and shouted, hit her hard, bound her fluke so brutally Her face I saw as she was dragged, away and by her tail Gasping coughing drowning now, I watched her attempt to inhale I poked my head above the surface, to see what they were trying And in the shallow waters, she was convulsing, bleeding, dying I desperately swam fast around, calling others from the pod, But all I saw was blood and pain, and all I loved seemed lost Then hands were all upon me, and I was forced into a sling Thrown roughly by the side, and no one heard me screaming Water it was flung at me, the engine in my ears I knew right then that this was it, the start of miserable years And now I float in a grimy tank, a whistle rules my fate I eat whats given, do my tricks, and drive myself insane I remember that day like yesterday, the memory etched in stone This my friends is captivity, a death sentence, a life alone
