Richard Ashwell<p>I am an Octopus (Narrated by Peter Egan) </p><p>I am an octopus trapped in a tiny tank,<br>Crowded prison cells, which they call farms.<br>It’s dark, dirty and deadly,<br>I can’t stretch my eight arms.<br> <br>I am an octopus trapped in a tiny tank.<br>No solitude or peace, I weep and shake,<br>So a greedy two-armed man can take cash to the bank.<br>I don’t yet know how to get out and dream of escape…</p><p>I am an octopus who is free to roam the salty seas.<br>With eight arms I jet along the ocean floor.<br>I crawl, I climb and through rocks I squeeze,<br>To forage for food and explore.<br> <br>When I feel sleepy or want to hide away,<br>I build a den using shells from scallops and clams.<br>When I see a shark, I fear I’ll become prey,<br>So my skin goes lumpy, bumpy, and changes color.</p><p>My home, the ocean, is dying. <br>Men steal fishes from the sea to feed us.<br>They say breeding us will save the planet, but they are lying.<br>The octopus farms cause me and the ocean so much harm.<br> <br>The two-armed man artificially impregnates the females.<br>Then he prods and stabs us to find out how best to kill us.<br>Big business is trying to play God,<br>But Mother Nature strikes back with climate chaos.<br> <br>I am an octopus but I am like you.<br>On the surface we may look very different -<br>Your blood is red and mine is blue,<br>You have one brain and I have nine.<br> <br>Don’t eat my brainy arms,<br>They think and feel and are not for you to chew!<br>Drop your knife and raise your placards,<br>And shout out ‘NO, to octopus farms!’ </p><p>Make your one heart big,<br>Listen to my one, two, three hearts beat.<br>The free rhythms of this short song called life<br>Ring-a-ding-ding ring–a-ding-ding, be my octopus defender!<br> <br>Swimming in the ocean I feel so alive,<br>Now planet Earth can bustle and thrive.<br>Dive deep and show compassion,<br>Link your arms in octopus fashion,<br> <br>And sign the Plant Based Treaty!</p><p>They wander through the ocean and seas,<br>To undo the damage we have done.<br>So let’s eat plants and plant trees, <br>And preach that all life is one,<br> <br>And that when humans wish to harm other animals, they really do evil to themselves.</p><p>Narration by: Peter Egan</p><p>Script written by: Nicola Harris, Anita Krajnc</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-ZLp-JVEJQ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=o-ZLp-JVEJ</span><span class="invisible">Q</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopOctopusFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopOctopusFarming</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FactoryFarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FactoryFarms</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FactoryFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FactoryFarming</span></a></p>
