land (4)

Are you saying that you are the only descendant of one alli and that you are entitled to all crown lands?Are you for real? It reminds of Akahi Nui who went to the palace and didn't know which room to go to. He could have paid the $15 for the tour, and he would have found it without any problems!How do you expect the po'e to listen and follow you when your own intentions does not serve the interest of the Hawaiian Nationals!

"WAR"

WAR lyrics written by Mana Kaleilani Caceres, music by "Radical Rob" OnekeaTrack #1 on Mana's 2nd CD titled "I BE HAWAIIAN" released 2007Now hear me sing these words, the truth you will find, the truth shall set you free.When all is said and done, the smoke clear the air, we will stand in victory.So we gonna march and we knockin' on your door,so better be prepared 'cuz its lookin' like a war.Politics and voting isn't getting anywhere,you cannot trust the system when you know it doesn't care.Come and join the revolution, we need you to rally with me.Come and join the true Hawaiians, in the state of emergency.Look at the Hawaiian people, with no place to go.Look whats happened to these islands, no longer our home.We fight for the nation, we fight to be free.We fight for the Kingdom, home for you and me.So what you gonna do when it's time to choose a side,sit at home in comfort, or stand with Hawaiian pride?Far to many years go by while my people cry,another day of bondage and I'm asking myself why.No longer shall we look the other way.Nowhere to run and hide 'cuz it's a judgement day.No longer shall we let you steal the land.No stopping these Hawaiians who work hand in hand.Come and join the revolution, we need you to rally with me.Come and join the true Hawaiians, in the state of emergency.Look at the Hawaiian people, with no place to go.Look whats happened to these islands, no longer our home.We fight for the nation, we fight to be free.We fight for the Kingdom, home for you and me.

Cultural Genocide

This one is far from done. I think this one will be a lifelong writing project.I was inspired to write this by listening to the song "Blood Banner" by Public Property. I find it shocking how most people find it shocking that im a 19 yr. old male living in the 21st century but yet my life is commited to Hawai'i, even if it means my death for my land.No ku'u lahui Hawai'i, e ha'awi pau, a e ola mau.Palm trees and calm seasTropical fruity drinks while basking in the oceans breezeSexy hula dancers, fire lit torches and sacred kahuna tiki'sIts paradise so drink up, smoke up, buy up...do as you please.Exploitation at its finest.Hawai'i is a vacation to you but it means more than life to meA life style, state of mind and mentalityCulture is the true essence of Hawai'i.A culture,Built beneath the foundation of our landBuilt beneath the bottom of our oceanBuilt within our na'au and birthed from the darkest of dark.It's shown through the land and oceanShown through the plants and animalsAnd lastly, shown through the people.Slaughter our culture, impose us with yoursSlaughter our people, corrupt us like yoursSlaughter our lands, build it like yoursSlaughter our waters, pollute it like yoursSlaughter our language, make us learn yoursSlaughter our values, replace it with yoursSlaughter our gods, in the name of yoursSlaughter our queen, and pretend that we're yoursSlaughter our flag, shame our poles with yoursGenocide.
