Orcinus Orca - Song of the Ocean

<p>This is an epic poem.</p><p><br></p><p>The orca: they are black and white dolphins mammals of the sea warm-blooded creatures</p><p>which are at the top of the food chain for the territory that they hold within their power man</p><p>being their only predator.</p><p><br></p><p>Tom is born in the Pacific Ocean 1862; he is 2.5 metres long and weighs 200kg; a grand</p><p>specimen. George Davidson is born of Eden; May 1863.</p><p><br></p><p>This is the story of Tom Killer whale of Twofold Bay Eden friend to George Davidson (bay</p><p>whaler) and others like him: it is based upon a true story that will live in the memory of the</p><p>citizens of Eden for eternity a museum being built in Tom's honour upon his death.</p><p><br></p><p>For thousands of years before man recorded such events killer whales hunted all manner of</p><p>baleen whale in every ocean on this planet and only once in all that time has it been</p><p>witnessed and recorded for the prosperity of understanding and knowledge that they cooperated</p><p>with humans in their hunt for whales. It all took place on the east coast of Australia</p><p>Twofold Bay Eden. And it is here that an extraordinary story unfolds of an unwritten</p><p>contract between man and beast one of nature's most powerful and intelligent one that is</p><p>misunderstood and labelled unkindly.</p>
