Bluefin Tuna are listed as, endangered
because of illegal fishing, of global fish stocks
as eighty five percent, is unreported and unregulated
Overfishing of our oceans, has to be quickly eliminated
Bluefin are the largest tuna, and can live up to 40 years
and they migrate across oceans, and can dive 40 thousand feet
They are made for speed, and built like torpedoes
and have retractable fins, but they still end up in food tins
They are tremendous predators, that seek schools of fish
like herring, mackerel and even slippery eels
They have the sharpest vision, of any bony fish
but that doesn’t help, as they end up on a human dish

Along the east coast shores of the Atlantic,
Bluefin tuna swim together in silver waters
Cresting in the sunlight’s lightening thin, rays that
Drape earth’s womb-waters in golden curtains.
Earth’s womb is blessed with many species of offspring;
Finned and plants, her children, all.
Gulls in watch-flight soar high above,
Hoping for dinner, a reward of her love for gifts,
In kind, it’s such good grub.
Just hear them winging, singing songs to
Keep those womb-waters, dancing along
Like a rocking cradle.
Music from the deep, brings such peace,
No disruptions here, in this tranquil place;
Only tranquility can replace the
Peace and security of the womb.
Quiet, serenity
Resides here, with all the
Secrets in Gaia’s keep.
Trust, no one will ever steal
Under cover of night, her secrets deep.
Vanquish will she, the villain invaders
Who seek to harm and steal her labors and claim her
Xiphosura children for their own desires.
Yes, Gaia’s womb’ed ones, she’ll fight for and precious
Zooplankton her precious ones, all.

A fat bluefin tuna down deep
Was fished out one night when asleep
He was looking quite pale
Had escaped a big whale
To be Sushi for one Meryl Streep
