lyrics

HURL
(the wanton destruction of the environment)
“The great Strategist for the environment argues eloquently for radical action and is ignored”

In the whirlpool
spin pearly cool, swirling spool, vortex curl.
In the whirlpool who hurled that barb?
blade sharp shard, mark, a killer barb.
Who hurled that barb? Which barb?
The barb that strikes, that strikes the shark, the basking shark,
And cuts the flesh.
The barb that strikes the gleaming skin, the silver back, the shining face, the slender fin,
Who hurled the barb And kills the shark?
Round, round, round.
“And all I ask, is a tall ship,
And a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick, and the wind’s song…”*
Let one who is indifferent,
Let one who is unfeeling, and careless of the sea, hurl the first barb.

* John Masefield
