Lyric excerpts:
...
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields

That you said was yours and mine...

Look what we've done

What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...

Tokyo. Who's on trial, face jail? Whalers - hunting quota cut in half - cut antiwhaling Ady Gil (Earthrace) in half
In Tokyo court on trial today stands a New Zealander detained in Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary waters when delivering a citizen’s arrest. An international case all about whales. Who is guilty: whalers who killed 507 whales? Or anti-whaler who risked his life and lost his boat to have helped save 528 whales? The 1000-ton whaling vessel Shonan Maru 2 who cut 17-ton-fibreglass anti-whaling boat in half? Key witnesses are missing: the slaughtered whales packaged for the meat market and the saved whales [some are being hunted to extinction] who are free and happily enjoying the blue oceans and nursing their offspring. Remember, oceans and sea life do not only belong to all of us regardless of cultural background, but more so to our children, and children’s children. If the anti-whaler is guilty, who is not? The Ocean is dying...

We are tied to the ocean..when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.
"A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too..."

Hoping Earth Hour visits often. Percy Bysshe Shelley: "Poet in darkness" "Leaves closed beneath kisses of night"
"A poet is a nightingale,
who sits in darkness and sings
to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
"A Defence of Poetry," 1840
A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
"The Sensitive Plant," 1820
