you're.killing.my.family.

It's that time again,

And again, I wait alone,

In the dark cave,

Waiting for the first cry.

The water shall be different today,

It shall turn ever so red.

It shall be stained with blood,

The blood of my family.

Mother used to say,

Don't go out there, don't

They'll hurt you as well,

Then I'll have no one left.

I didn't understand,

Not until that faithful day.

The day where I saw them,

Take my mother away.

They dug their iron claws into her,

Slashed at her with sharp blades.

I could hear her cry,

But it was too late.

Tears left my eyes,

As I watched her bleed.

Her eyes slowly closing,

Her life drifting away.

Left and right I see,

The massacre of my friends, my family.

They all cry out in pain,

They thrash about, the pain too much.

Those things that walk on two poles,

With little stubby things they use to grab objects with.

Those things that dig iron claws into my kind,

To drag and to kill what is mine.

They are the ones that should die,

They have no right to keep living.

My kind are becoming less every year,

Yet, they still want to take us.

Why do they do this?

That I don't know.

Do they have a right to do this?

No, they don't.

But, we will stay strong,

We won't give in to them.

We'll let them wait for us,

Year by year, they won't ever see us.

We will one day have our revenge,

We will give back to them what they gave us: Pain.

We, the Calderon dolphins will fight back,

We won't let them get away with this.

Author's Note

Every year, in Denmark, specifically the Faroe Islands, innocent and helpless Calderon Dolphins are slaughtered brutally. This is all to show that the teen boys have moved into adulthood and are finally men.
This is act is atrocious and should be banned !

okay, before i realized what this was about, i was VERY intrigued by the line 'the water shall be different today' but knowing that it has some form of revelephance beside absurd connections lessons it's significance for me. you write this poem of anger and sometimes that works, but not as well here as i would have hoped because you also write with a story-telling style and have personalized the characters... so it feel like you're being sweet while you're being angry and it's just a little awkward. your reason for writing this, though, is just and unfair and i do feel your pain.

however, the link you posted is mostly of opinion. to claim that something is "pointless and stupid" is to insult a culture. they've been doing this for generations; who are you to try and change it? i understand your cause, just not your means of supporting it. make it about saving these animals, not insulting those who's beliefs prevent them from doing so themselves.
