It is so so sad, someday we will learn to speak "pilot whale" and ask them why, why, why, why? If only the rescuers, who were try so very hard, had been able to say - "listen, to get back to open water, take a left, go 30 miles, take a right, and there - the whole North Atlantic is at your disposal!"

Paul said there wer so many smaller, younger whales in the pod he saw, and it is just heartbreaking to think of it.

Whale children, how we wish
We could speak to you,
Learn from you,
Bring you to safety
Relieve your stress
So scared you must be,
Parents dying around you,
But still, you follow -
What else could a whale child do?
"Stay with the pod" mama always said.
"Stay with the pod, it is your only home"
"Stay with the pod" said father and uncle and cousin,
Who are we to say "No!"
"No!"
"This way lies only death!"
We are not your pod,
So we just simply cry,
and mourn,
And hope that one day,
We will learn to speak whale.
