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
Beware!
The Slaughter of Innocents
Goes not unpunished.
