“Cruel and proud America
give us back our pride,
our dreams, our land.

Liliuokalani is long gone
but we are here
and you are here
and the ghosts of Kepookalani,
and Kamanawa.
The great Paiea, our ageless king,
will stalk you until the end
and we will be there

because Queen Liliuokalani is long gone
but she is also here to haunt you
and we are here
witnesses to your greed,
your stubborn clutching to what is ours.

We are here
and the ghosts of our makua
watch you from the shadows of their
island valleys and caves.
From the mountain tops of Kaala and Maunakea
Where old gods and the makua wait patiently.

--from "Enaʻena”
John Dominis Holt, Hanai: A Poem for Queen Liliuokalani

Abhijit Naskar
“If you steal from the thieves,
can they call the cops!
If you heist from the blackmarket,
is it really a crime!

If you rob the British Museum,
isn't it a humanitarian initiative!
If you blast Mount Rushmore to ashes,
isn't it really public service!”
Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock
