The Cuttlefish Man

“The damage is done—for me it’s too late;
But once I became resigned to my fate,

I decided to make my final act
A blow against those villains who attacked

The helpless ocean and destroyed its health
In mindless pursuit of excessive wealth;

And that, my fine young friend, is why we’re here:
To make my position perfectly clear.”
