big as a small house

12 meters(40 feet long),two tonnes heavy in the water
a wall of one whale displaces all.  Why lodge on land
where death is certain?is it sonar submarines
drive these mammals from their element?
Noise from deep oceans sends them in to shallows?
We see huge corpses/seek only to rescue
22 sperm whales on Tasmanian beaches
2 minke whales lodge and thus suicide
Are we displacing our singers of oceans?
Are we removing the song of the deep?
When will we learn we came from these oceans?
We had fins before we had hands and legs and feet
Like crop circles -signs in the land for our eyes
Smell of the dying fills up our sense
When will we give back freedom of oceans
so these mammoth lovers do not die beached on land?
