No More Killing Innocent Creatures

The deaths of the victims
 were recorded as "Tradition".

 The incident where a mother
 was murdered
 and her foetus torn from her body
 was recorded as" Tradition".

 The murders of a family
 who were tortured and
 dismembered were
 recorded as " Tradition".

 The recorder of deaths
 closed the register.

 He made his way 
 to the church.
 His footsteps leaving
 a bloody trail.

 The Preacher
 stood in the pulpit
 and defended "Tradition."

 Whilst out in the ocean
 a whale called out
 for Justice.
