Born in the sea, you call me a marine mammal
Even though I was created by the Maker,
I respect you, for He has made you His caretaker
I spend my time with my mum and dad,
In the same way that you do,
I love swimming for hours together,
That is not all that I could do.
I talk to my near and dear,
In a very similar way as you,
I make use of Gods gifts in the same way you do,
But all that I get are treasures from the deep,
Unlike you, I don’t get variety.

I see you many a time floating above my home,
And very often come near you to say “HI”
I do understand your difficulties,
And help you fetch a meal or two from my home.
I feel that interacting with you will make us friends,
I can see and hear you from very far off,
When you call out to me, I respond with glee.
Greeting you with a fitting performance,
I am overjoyed to meet you once again.
So I bring my friends when I visit,
So we could play together in this paradise.

But I suddenly feel throbbing pain,
When I reach your side,
I get confused with your actions,
And I am frozen at that spot,
But you continue to stab me with friends of yours.
When I look up I see others of your kind watching on.
We don’t die instantly, so you cut us many times with thick hocks,
We are near extinction, but you don’t seem to care.
I want to be your friend,
But you kill me to prove that you have reached adulthood?
I don’t understand you my friend.
All I can do now, is look at the blue sky
Look in your eyes,
And produce a grim cry like a new born child,
I suffer and you show no compassion,
Till I am left to die in my own blood,
Why stain the sea in blood by your actions?
