A prayer song for–from the watercarriers
Ode “OWED” to Big Blue

• Be it Orca or Big Blue,
• We sing this song for you
• You swim the whole world through
• Midst the Ocean’s deep majestic blue

• You know the ship Titanic
• You know the Cold Atlantic
• You carry the wisdom of our waters
• We are yearning to relearn again,
• To become your daughters

• The universe has heard
• We have failed to keep our word
• We have failed to keep the water well
• We have failed to keep it safe
• We are the daughters of the two legged race
• who have made such abundance-mistakes
• May we never again lose such Grace.

• We promised to keep the water well
• We promised to never let it sell
• We know we have failed the Ultimate Test.
• How could we justify making such a mess.

• In 200 years , our water clear
• Is no longer here to boast
• We hear the tales, we see the scales
• What?????????
• No more fish? Coast to Coast!!

• FISH DON’T LIE
• They swim in our waters
• FISH DON’T SLEEP
• They provide for our daughters.
• How could this be?
• I said to me.

• Let’s ask the Elders of our Waters
• What happened to us, once faithful daughters
• We have failed to keep our water well
• We promised we’d never let it sell.

• We are learning to take back our drum
• Humming our wisdom in a Swansong Unsung
• Our thirst it is clear for our water dear
• Without the filth and the sewage dung.

• Help us to bring back the wisdom
• Your BALANCE from shore to shore
• Help us to become your daughters again
• To salvage the water we adore.

• Forgive us for our past neglect,
• Our errors so easy to detect
• Help us to bring back the water clear
• The end for our future is very near.
• Ancestors, please hear
• Sincerity in our call.
• Forgive us our trespasses
• Miss-Takes embarrass us ALL

• As we listen and quietly tune in
• Thirst for the future is growing very dim
• Can we do it? Can we reverse the trend?
• To clean up the water and make amends.

• To care for the next 7 generations
• We need help from all of our Nations
• We are sorry for all such abundance-mistakes
• Chanting our prayers, in shameful disgrace
• Help us to become your daughters again
• To relearn to take care of y/our water
• Help us research the wisdom of y/our tales
• We are the “flukes” who surely have failed.

• We hear the haunting of your song,
• Tho’ it be Sooooo darn Loooong!
• Our memories are deep, and steeped
• not entirely faded or gone

• There once was a time when we as your daughters
• Promised to take care of y/our beautiful waters
• Now, we know there is so much to be done
• To save y/our waters, y/our fish, y/our daughters and y/our sons
• We have had Scientists we depended upon
• (????????) question mark?
• How come then, we can’t take a drink from the sink?
• AND, we ASSumed that THEY could THINK ?

• Our Greed has made us such a fuss
• How could you imagine or better yet trust
• That we actually want to change our ways
• To get back to simpler pure-R days.
• R-Reading R-Writing , R-Arithmetic and R-Writhing
• R-Writhing in Oil slicks and awful slaughters.
• What has become of y/our faithful daughters?

• So much Education, in such a Failing Nation.
• We must change our linear thinking
• If we want to imagine a future for drinking
• Midnight Magic of Great Blue
• A SAFER home, for me and for you.
• Orcas, Great White, Great Blue and all
• Hear the sorrow of our call

• We are sorry for what we’ve done
• Up to our necks with the waste and sewage dung
• Let’s not waste a moment’s time
• Who cares if it takes every single dime
• It’s the water that needs us the most
• For without it our whales are but pathetic tales.
• Memories of Great Greed,
• Of a Lust that could not breed.

• What we failed to heed Most
• Is Great Spirit, Our True HOST
• Now our Whales without Tales
• Propose a toast to Our TRUE Host
• Pay attention to what you are drinking
• Gently said, “tis a mirror reflection of y/our thinking.
• Yes, it is true, upon reflection my dear,
• You’ll find that the mirror is very very clear.

• “Tis the damage of LINEAR THINKING
• Y/our daughters are here with great big tears
• with questions about what you’ve been drinking.

• In 2000 years, 200 it takes
• To mess up the water, with abundance-mistakes
• We send you this song, full of tears that belong
• In your water so deep, our tears we do weep.
• As the daughters of Great Blue
• What can we NOW do for you?

• Let us start with this prayer
• for what we used to say to Our Great Mother
• As the daughters of Great Big Blue
• It seems peculiar and weird
• To have arrived here
• Without hardly knowing You
• When we think about it all
• We remember your haunting call.
• Our memories not worn but faded...

• A Truth it was Sworn, when the earth it was born
• As your two legged daughters,
• WE AGREED to take care of y/our WATERS!

• The winged ones have tried to remind us
• Writhing in oil slicks and awful slaughters
• We must take back y/our drum again
• We are the daughters of your waters.

• Your Teachings are still, so very very strong
• Ancestors, please forgive us, how could we have been so wrong
• As members of the Two-Legged Race
• With a future we hardly can face
• Humbly, we ask for your help
• In a prayer-sea filled with sewage and kelp

• Why? So much Education, in such a Failing Nation
• Why ? such a ridiculous mess?
• WE HAVE SURELY FAILED THE GREAT BIG TEST
• Who cares about the New Curriculum
• Remember to Chant and Remember to Drum
• It doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist
• To know that THE BASICS have surely been missed.

• Oh Great Blue, when we think of you
• Your forgiveness is so deep
• We hear your song, in you we belong
• Tis your very tears, that we now weep.
• With Salt in our Tears, Help us to hear,
• Your Teachings were/ARE so very clear.

• Forgive us for all our past neglect
• Mistakes embarrass us all
• Help us to bring back the water again
• Please Ancestors, hear our call.
