Read today about baby seals
being clubbed again
Their blood spills on snows
they stare wide-eyed, can’t defend
So scared are they, so scared
not knowing what they’ve done
So trusting are they, unprepared
killed under a cold sun
These pups look white coats run red
in the white of the snow
Battered and torn, bodies and heads
humans deliver the blow
Sickening sights we all do see
across the Earth
Why can’t we just let them be
why aren’t our voices heard
The killers though hear their screams
as they cruelly batter them to death
Those big soft eyes stare in disbelief
at the worst animal of all this planet it treads Picture courtesy of http://www.peta.org
Leave them alone you sick vile people
you simply have no right
Listen to nature and our call
don’t your humanity lose sight
Seals to the slaughter so cruel
pups blood runs all the time
Through the snow and the earth too
why is this not a crime?
I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''

Actually in my heart and senses it is a crime!
who would want to wear these beautiful babies ?
we humans either need to stop this or just go..
how could we be so inhumane?
It is startling!
bless the beings that have been slaughtered
If we all thought the same way as your words then the world would be a much better place but alas ignorance still rears its ugly head in these situations. Very sad.
