A poem I wrote after watching The Cove.

A story once unknown,

Now brought to light.

Your suffering was not in vain.

As the world now joins the fight.

Modern-day slaves,

Unable to speak.

Homesick and tortured,

Depressed and weak.

*

Your self-awareness,

Shows your inner-soul.

Your families butchered,

Now takes a central role.

In ending this genocide fed by greed,

It won’t stop until you’re all freed.

    Very good. Even if a reader hasn’t seen the Cove, the message in your poem is quite clear.

  • Joseph Scott on Sep 29, 2010

    Thank you everyone! I didn’t mean to make everyone sad.. However, I think being aware of this tragedy is more important than how we may feel about it. Through awareness comes change. Thanks again :)
