Harp Seal

Wearing virgin white
Pure and innocent 
You come in to this world
Love, peace and kindness is all you know 
You only kill for survival 

If you're still alive in 2 weeks 
You will lose your virgin white 
You will become a silvery grey
That is when you are safe 
That is when you are free

But be aware 
Of the most dangerous animal 
He will be carrying a club or gun
He will be wearing your family on his back
And his shoes will be stained red

Mum Mum help me cries the little seal
The man the Hunter is trying to kill me

With bullet holes in her side
The wounded mother
Rolls her way along
Too late
Her baby's gone
In its place
A pool of blood

Today

Today
I ached for yesterday
Yesterday
I wished for tomorrow
