I went one day to Sea world,

A place supposed to be for fun,

But when I got to the show,

I saw that was not, what was being done,

An Orca circled round in a pool,

His anger thundering through his mind,

He had scars running down his body,

And to his trauma everyone was blind,

He flexed his dorsal fin and spiraled around the pool,

Missing his life in the open wild,

For this poor creature had no life,

Being forced to do work and captured as a child,

I could feel his misery and petrification,

Of being held in this atrocious prison,

Where he slaved for humans against his will,

For when it came to his pain no one would listen,

I left the park deeply crestfallen,

But in my heart I heard the cacophony of his moans,

His life shattered, his joy no more,

His heart left in desolate ruins,

I came back having plead my parents,

For I felt the abysmal pain he felt,

But it had been a year and things had changed,

For his life had gone and his soul had melt,

After having physiologically snapped,

He had taken the life of three,

Even as these were accidents,

People had seen things differently than me,

They locked him up to rot and perish,

And a year later he had gone,

This is not what he deserved,

It was time for a new dawn,

The park stopped capturing other Orcas,

In honor of the injured soul,

But what was done was done,

And his life was already no more,

We mourned his life,

But it was too late,

He left this plain,

And this was his decided fate,

I wanted to avenge his life,

After seeing this brutal act,

But I knew this wasn’t the right thing,

I despised all of this and knew what the world lacked.

Tilikum is the reason Sea world no longer buys Orcas

His misery did not go in vain,

His death served as a beacon of hope,

He is the reason most Orcas stay in the wild and don't face his pain.
