blue whales
unduly starving
surely swim
truly carving
through sheer
environmental fear
mirroring depth
deep in that
wretched endless
always more
horrendously barren
daringly epic
courageous sea
low down fare
toxic atmosphere
then up high
thin sky there
quotient foreboding
so emotional
those ocean storms
every ten thousand 
temperamental years
veritable destruction
instrumental endosphere
inevitable collapse
relatively unique
verily elevated
sacredly oblique
this harried planet
lapis earth
each truly passive
lazuli blue
acid daybreak
every cruel morning
haunting lamentations
all our mourning
birds once performed
something pure
each annual migration
adversely gravitational
song bird animation
now that fitting image
life's token chorus
human immigration
openly wrung out
religion hung out
this dry song is broken
tongue in cheek singing
a red spoken rash 
dread speaking grunge
invoking incendiary
dreaded fire
evoking heat
a steady melancholy
before all this
rampant extinction
some other
fiery dying
historical doom
black rejecting white
white reflecting black
inspecting each selection
sweet tweets now
founded in bad chirps
mysterious sounds
some heartless zoom
amoral shellfish
department heads
resolutely hellish
imparting craze
idealistic relish
impartially selfish
capitalistic ways
meanwhile resolution
primary species
search for restitution
seek more revolution
speaking forest
mythical chants
matriarchal constitution
what's left
something like
bar code fusion
one self right
patriarchal institution
a far leftist blight
that idiosyncratic
self righteous bloom
actual loquacious
usual invasive
sustained right
narrow sight
wealth equals profit
harried oral activities
humanity complains
transitory tampering
supposedly everyone
has ample living 
or simple justice
a sample of plenty
more power hampering
each moral
formal cornucopia
hungry for money
all those castle towers
that towering excess
every powerful big box
taking environmental toll
volcanic candies
earthquake flowers
those big boxes
viral stores full
believing ecosystems
never truly die
consumers are born
so forever spend
belief obstructing whales
oceans chiefly starving
so sorely horrible
each toxic sea
what we see
ocean reef destruction
such social grief
emotional disorder
it makes me cry
moreover all those beings
breathing being poor
sequestered subservience
each contested 
questionable interference
investing in relinquish
story book extinction
all my sorry
feathered sisters
flying brothers
measure all your poor
lost family and friends
each worldly treasure
all that earthly beauty
remarkable plumage
glorious feathers
brilliant radiant colours
songbirds gone forever
fossilize your folly 
tie all that wounded
grumbling belly
to our wounded mother
bury ignorance
think evolution
imagine this
splendid earth
create forgiveness
unending holy
rationalize humanity 
we are resilient
but those devils
evil money suckers
relentless power
that just doesn't
give a damn
always destroying
commit to finally
what they do
what they never
ever admit
how will we
finally end
upend this
monstrous being
what we are
to all of them
they are rushing
spending fairytale
lush systemic lives
endemically everything
trending chemically
condemning glaciers
spending what we see 
this modern world
industrial modernity
reality has finally
that reverberation
finality we hear
imagine fake
everything becoming
completely insane
revealing inhuman
unraveling unfurled
just unbelievable
what they take
demanding give
but final dreams
commanding world
those starving whales
redeeming song lines
so seemingly
what gives us
our dream life
whales starving
this sudden change
reframing sunlight
rearranging atmosphere
ultimately blaming
each crazed
destructive puzzle
technological part
just going wrong
what we thought
right really is
just simply isn't
what always was
was just something
at least alright
now blending
artificial mind
human AI
robot something
artfully bending
hopeful confusion
into all that
wishful light
those reducing things
always just out of sight
I know this right
try inducing
trusted thinking now
I'm mustering wishful
this artificial reality
must artfully be
universally improved
recondition this
continental current
ever fatalistic
everything systemic
conditional moves
their rendition of justice
starving whales
additional populations
boxed up
this big box affair
guesstimating toxic ocean
so tell me
estimating sun flares
try emotionally
we all breathe
but our needy
greedy overlords
what freedom man
steely big brother
what should we do
maybe some father
universal Sun God
will finally come
change things
reform us all
still controversial
civil good
rearrange our up
out of this
awkward down
maybe toward
virtual creation
brother father
a lover God
sister mother
arriving from
some distant
insistent constellation
firmly tracing universe
embracing blistered
racing minds
face and hands
tell us truly
insistent love
something charming
warm loving arms
non-harmful things
all that very good
altruistic reasoning
always inflamed
sometimes alarmed
being ritualistic
disarmed by those
anxious starving
blue whale pods
this final swim
our current dreams
mostly dim and lost
me and thee
are cost redemption
swept far out to sea
perhaps something
more unconventional
a new arrival
one emotional god
too sublime and ghostly
but ancient Neptune
gritty Davy Jones
fitting memories
ultimately refined
post majestic Poseidon
guiding will
as well as wishing
blessing schools
those precious
pools of fish
honouring sacred
refreshing magnificence
what should be
white and blue whales
some divine charm
that would surely
be something
but where is truth
can justice ever
explore that ocean
that moral deep
a foreboding place
beneath that dark
subversive veil
every hidden truth
all our forgotten
contingent guardians
what is
forever hidden
if we were
truly clever
we would
listen more
closely to ancient
passionate stories
those lamentations
all what rational
compassion avails
love and honour
cherish humans
passionately respect
mother's starving
divine blue whales
