Aloha Poets,
Watchful flower inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!
Village Taiji Dolphin Cove
Now more than ever be the hero
As your proud legacy adds up to zero
Dark quiet culture centuries foreboding
Silence collects in your cove for meat loading
Quiet village bound by traditional speak
Proud forefathers catch waves of the meek
So cold in identity off cove's ocean water
Taiji stands silent in friendly dolphin slaughter
World watches time creep in this our new age
Hoping for consensus as Taiji turns its page
How much more sorrow in a world of half truths
Must you fight cove battles of your father's youth?
Taiji move beyond being a mere fishing village
Heed calls from humanity to end dolphin pillage
The world may offer a new hero's welcome
Close dolphin cove where we watched hell come
Surface salt water gives you food from the deep
Will destiny awaken your hearts from their sleep?
All plan to arrive at your village to admire
Help strength of character put out hell's fire
Taiji Village we call for you to cease and desist
This romantic notion where no one gets kissed
Dolphins you hunt into cove's proud legacy
We watch and beg someday you will see
Peaceful protection in the village you've grown
Off rocky coast bring a star of your own
Slaughter your pride to find joy and laughter
Make dolphin cove safe haven here after
