13 Etznab
White Cosmic Mirror
Degradation of the Human Race
Has reached its full
Completion
In all of Nature’s
vast Display---
Variety and Beauty indescribable---
There is one Face
extraordinary---
Innocence made
visible
I sing of the
northern Infants
Slaughtered for
their Fur---
Such a Prize---such
a bloody Boon
For the Hunter
These Babes are easy
Prey
Too young to swim
away---
Heads shattered---skinned
alive
Left to die in Agony
In front of weeping
Mothers
Enormous dark Eyes
mirror
Man’s Inhumanity---Cruelty---Insanity
Lifeless, skinless
babies’ Bodies
Thrown away to rot
Upon the Snow and
Ice
Now stained with Blood
and Gore
No More!
No More!
The Harp Seal---
Striking Beauty
In a barren Wilderness
Struck down---bludgeoned
to Death
For a Wallet or Coat
Beware! All who
participate---
Beware! All who fail
to protest---
The Slaughter of
Innocents
Goes not unpunished.
