youtu.be/5ZOAiSP1MGs - "Hawaii '78" by Israel Kamakawio'ole
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
Being perpetuated (is) the sovereignty of the land to righteousness/ to balance, Hawai`i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i

If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land
Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel about this modern city life?

Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our people are in great, great danger now
How would they feel?
Would their smiles be content, then cry

Chorus:
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i.

Could you just imagine they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each other's eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our land is in great, great danger now.

All the fighting that the King has done
To conquer all these islands, now these condominiums
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei?
How would he feel? Would his smile be content, then cry?

(E hana hou i ka hui)
(Repeat chorus)

Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i
Ua mau ke ea o ka `âina i ka pono `o Hawai'i.

This song is by a guy also famous for singing over the rainbow. It's one of the big dude's best: Hawaii '78. is a song about losing the land of ones forefathers to modernity and foreign invaders. I suggest listening to it with an open heart, recognizing that our own land is sacred and we too are losing our lands to globalism the very empire that was built in our own name.

Our ancestors used to be sacred. May they be so again. In this way, Hawaiians like Israel Kamakawiwo'ole know much better than we what we ourselves are losing. Like poor Hawaiians, many around us don't recognize the changes. They don't see the invaders and the cruel masters who bring them here. But our forebears would have us notice. And they would have us fight it.

I read the lyrics, Deasy. It's sad, but he did mention all the islands his king conquered, so I ain't feeling too bad. That's some prime realestate they were sitting on, but it's only yours for as long as you can hold onto it.

That's exactly what he's telling us: don't you feel that our government no longer represents us? Then is this still our country? Or are we on a reservation now?

In the system they have in place now, we're all considered assets, with a set value as potential tax revenue generators that this system uses to determine this country's international credit value. That's how this system looks at us. That's also one of the reasons they're allowing illegals to flood this country. To the PTBs, it doesn't matter how we see ourselves. I get the gist of the song. The dude's pining for the days of old, the same way a lot of old posters here do. Thing is, you have to learn to roll with the punches and either adapt or get left in the dust.

Adapting to eradication means being eradicated.

Adaption means either get with the program or spend your days in the slums the way They've done native americans and pacific islanders. (among others) Some are smart enough to see the writing on the wall, some are too bullheaded to adapt and some (nigs) are just too stupid to get it.

I'm not really talking about the Pacific Islanders and how they failed to cope with British and American invaders. I'm talking about how European Americans are failing to cope with our own invaders.

We're being overrun, as in any traditional invasion. The gates to our "shining city on a hill" as Reagan called it, were opened out of hubris.
