Poetry at it's Best: All that is natural through the Depths of Darkness to find the Light within.

The time is a sense of what the darkness brings us.
It is not of the Darkness that all will come to see.
It is to seek what we fail to feel that is within.
It is within that we shall find what we seek.
It is time to seek for the light within your Darkness.
Go into all things that are natural within you.
It is then you will find that Light

"So how do you know that the people buried out there weren't assholes??" ---John D'Amario, Asshole Emeritus for Joseph Brescia

Kanaka Maoli Scholars sent a second open letter regarding the desecration of na iwi Hawai'i. (You can view it on Hawaiiian Independent).

He then responded:
