They care not
what washes into it
unconcerned with
what becomes of it
they are in it
to be top predator
and make some bucks
.
Does not matter
all the more overfishing
devastated breding grounds
lower down their nets go
they hate all do gooders
with their interfering regulations
with their know better than me
how dare they say I am not right
.
They now are bottom feeders
passing their reworded catch
on to our hungry mouths
and into our minds
take what you get
is what we are told
be glad you receive
anything at all
whatever happened
to your gratitude
you bunch of whiners
.
The world is this ocean
of what is good and bad
decomposed and new
and all running together
through and through
the facts of it
cherry picked to suit
what you and i and others
wish to do to get more stuff
.
Onto farmlands are pumped
this muck salty swishing brine
dead ducks stuck in pop rings
all manner of garbage and new
festering primordial souplings
tasting of mixed medical waste
but still the angry unhappy
fishers of common men
flood the cherry fields
to pump the ocean dry
.
When death is pulling clear
when so much seems done
still they will complain
of the hooked bitter buyers
they force this combination on
“We do it for your own protection!”
they scream on at election time
as saltwater flushes through
bleeding cherry fields
we are told
it is now
our finest
our holy wine.
