Gazing up from ocean deep
Fishy eyes and sliver streak
Murderous hooks they dangle there
To the mackerels deep despair
One by one themselves impale
On shiny hooks hung over rails
Each day the boat brings more and more
Inexpert fishers to the call
Catches they get less and less
Fish hoovered up in deep distress
Empty oceans, watery voids
Of nothing left just silent noise
As tankers coast to coast they sail
And drown the loudest sound of whales
That reverberated round the seas
The sounds now lost to human greed
Meanwhile our fish they circle round
Curious at what they’ve found
Thinking food they take the hook
Like us it’s death and then we’re cooked.
