Sidewalk Ad with Poem for the Harp Seals posted by Defne Voronin of Istanbul, Turkey

The poem was written by Mr. Sureyya Berfe and was published in his book Seals Told I Wrote

Poem in Turkish English Translation
Denizler
Siz değil
Biz yaşadıkça
Temiz kalır.

Bebeğimiz ölüyor
Yaz ortasında kış

Sizin çocuklarınız
Denizde
Taş sektirir
Bizimkiler
Gözyaşlarını

Geçen gün
Mezarlığınızı gördüm
Ölüleriniz
Neden yanyana

Haklısınız
Sizin toprağınız
Bizim toprağımızdan
Daha zengin

“Şöyle bir bakayım” dedim
balık ağlarına
üstüm başım
kan içinde kaldı

Seas can only
be kept clean,
As long as we live!
Not you human being.

Our babies are dying.
Winter! in the middle of Summer.

Your children
Hops pebbles on the sea
Ours,
Hops their tears.

Days ago,
I saw your cemetery.
Why your deceased ones
Abutted side by side?

You are right.
Your land is richer
Than ours!

“Lets look in to the
fishing nets”
I said.
All my raiment
Covered by blood
.


 


Petition to End the Seal Hunt by Earle Bingley (Canadian Voice for Animals)

The goal of this petition is get enough signatures for a plebiscite on the seal 'hunt'. So ONLY CANADIAN CITIZENS should sign this petition.


A Poem for the Harp Seals by Keely Sinclair – Choctaw/Blackfoot

The Arrival

It is a beautiful clear day
The sun shines down on the anticipation of your arrival
Any second you will come
You will come with a beauty and innocence that cannot be surpassed

The vast landscape looks like thousands of melted marshmallows
Brown images are scattered along the cold folds and slick reflections
You arrive and are loved in an instant
A large ball of billowy white cotton
Eyes so deep and dark they become mirrors
A reflection of your sweetness emanates across the sky

You look up as a shadow comes over you…
Has the sun gone away?
In the blink of an eye what once was white and pure
Is now dark and red like the fiery pits of hell
For the devil himself has called upon you today
Called upon you to decide your fate

Who gave the man beast this task?
To rip your soul from this place?
A spirit who just blew in with the North wind

He raises everything he hates about himself, all of his fears
Insecurities….Hopeless dreams…
He raises them to the sky
And then releases his rage on you
What madness screams and reigns across the skies
As you cry out in pain?

I pray to Divine Spirit
I pray to the Four Winds and the Four Directions…
I pray to the Stone People and the Ice People
Grandfather Sun, Grandmother Moon
Mother Earth and Father Sky…

Bless this small wonder for it cannot speak for itself
It has no voice
Help the Two-Legged to see past his own reflection in the mirror
So that when he awaits the anticipation of his new arrival
The Great Mystery will have mercy on his broken soul.

Mitakuye Oyasin (We are all related – Lakota Sioux)
This poem is dedicated to the baby seals that
needlessly die by the hands of man….


A Poem for the Seals by Diana Moreton (2006)

‘Red Newspaper’

Black eye, albescent fur, ice Dalmatian
Moistened from bullies beating batons
Red streams stain pristine boreal crystals
Man on the moon resents infanticide

Silvery child embodies vulnerability
ephemeral pup dies by venatic blow
surrender your diminutive coat sewn tight
red the bloody newspaper then yet, A?

Virgin fur for fun, glamorous glory
Round eye incubus tells chilling story
Ripped, unzipped on cold crisp coward-ice
Babes born bewildered by bastards blow

Small sugar cup stained streamer red
Next venal batter up on Canadian floe
“Red newspaper“, Mama seal’s woe
Maricolous murder of marble eye doe.
