Notes About The Poem

Long ago I wrote this as part of a pretty lengthy script of sort of a rock opera, back in the days of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, that a friend of mine name of Paul 
Flake and I had a double date with a very good friend of mine in Wichita, the date because of Paul's stuborness turned out to be a disasster, except we did attend a live performance of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in Wichita.   wrote this song and a few more and it was about a 70 page musical manuscript, but I gave it away when I left Western Kansas to a friend in Lyons, Kansas. More to this story. Anyway, the friend has left long ago, and if the world ever sees this script, it will be a real miracle. I wish I had it.  It was titled THE MASTER'S OF THE OCEANS, and the title song I still remember word for word, but the rest is lost forever I guess, except for this Haiku.

The Last Whale Haiku

THE LAST WHALE HAIKU 
by Ron Wilson aka Vee Bdosa

Down into the sea
she will lay in wait, to see
if tomorrow comes.

Who has any care
if the whale is dying there
is there anyone?

If she goes too deep
pressure brings the endless sleep
she has come undone.

Her last sound would be
like the cry that no one's heard,
of the dodo bird.
