Dolphins

The playful dolphins swimming carefree

The ocean is their rightful place

But with tanks they are replaced

They are placed into captivity

Away from their nativity

By our greed they are confined

Yet for centuries they've resced mankind

And how do we give thanks?

We confine them to small tanks

Around before man was even born

From their habitats they are torn

They're even forced to do tricks

So their hunger they can fix

We take them out of greed

And cause them to not breed

We cause them so much pain

For our personal game

How long do they have to suffer?

Or will things just get tougher?
