Pacific Grim - Cattle Decapitation

A nuclear accident

Vomits into the ocean

An island of garbage

Forged by the discarded

The constant trawling

Modifying habitats

What the fuck are we doing?

Biodiversity- now monoculture of deceased inhabitants

The nets don’t discriminate — unforgiving in this throwaway living

As the coves exsanguinate the bodies, now gluttonous commodities

Purging more than they need — for the unwitting public and corporate greed

Paralyzed in fear, until all pods are eradicated…

They never stood a chance

Against this sick romance

We have with every living being

We have with every fucking thing

Long lining baited hooks, pelagic thievery, gluttonous crooks

Discarded secondary bycatch rendered useless, thrown overboard

Bottom trawling thus reveals the destroyed habitats — wiped off the map

The life support of the ecosystems is pulled leaving only victims

Living in misery — the ways of fisheries

One of life’s mysteries — soon we’ll all be history

Nobody’s listening — classic conditioning

This is the christening — extinction quickening

We never stood a chance

Against this sick romance

We have with our demise

We have with all of life

With mouths open wide

Our footprint steps inside

And when there’s nowhere to hide

Death comes with the tide…
