The Unseen Tears of the Albacore

When Humanity creates a hierchy

Placing blowholes above anemones

When sovereign nations have made it policy

Slaughter anything that goes with wasabe

In the food chain, there is a third rail

Winking at mass murder of the yellow tail

Let 'em suffocate, there's no intelligence

They don't jump through hoops for an audience

Say a prayer for the Earth as you make a wish

Who will shed one tear for the tunafish,

or the thousand other species on the ocean floor?

Does a spot on prime time TV Land justify the ruination of a fisherman

That could've been me cries the albacore

With the carnage sealed hermetically

In the killing fields of local canneries

It's a Dolphin Safe atrocity (Flippery frippery)

Metal gafs are flying

As the innocent keep dying

But are we only crying

For God's creatures not worth frying?
