"Truth are not from the valley of the shadow of death ... Lilith, like all mythological entities, are humanity's creation, to explain--what they cannot," ... by The Poet
Hawaii Nei, bidst Aloha, inoa Pelekane ke'o ke'o, Lilith.
(The islands of Hawaii welcomes the English/white named, Lilith)
A name that disguises
intrigue amongst the
native population who
shares a knowledge of
deep ancient traditions
as Hawaiian Mythology.
Lili'uokalani, Hawaii's
last reigning monarch
was overthrown by the
Americans (nontourist)
eyed Pearl with the long
ships (nonwhaling types)
overparked, until 1941.
Lilith, 'tis inviting [ching]
Her English, Lydia, fell to
the sword (church-N-state)
missionaries common prat.
enforcements upon natives,
"The bible, the bible, it is so
written in the bible, the bible--
methinks, similarly, a fate that
under the banners of the cross;
fittingly, the southern crosses, in
support of the abortion of ebonic
persuasion babies. World of People
where my short story 'White Lies'--
"Part of the world painted whatever
part of the world was painted proper."
Lilith, does all this ring a bell [bing]
America was raw and itchy after the
Civil War, the Divisive Line--NOT, that
between the North and the South--but
between those faithful and the faithless.
It might be Cleveland with the abortionist
I know Teddy herald the Peridicaris incident,
Hawaii my dear Lilith, you herald our shores to
unsheath our eyes of Sanford Doles and other ids
Lilith, they rung your bell [bing] "Sleeper Awaken"
Americans treasonist against U.S. Policies--a ruse
cover 'twas greed for land acquisitions--, the same
greed stole my Kalapana (most neighbors, not mine)
and most recently, Maui Fire--vultures do prey on the
vulnerable; By-The-Way, sensible to purpose accuracy;
Lilith, under the divine right of my ancient heritage, I gift to you the divine
properties of shared light--NOT to be misconstrued as appropriations of my verbiage is as such, places wisdom in silence. Our former Queen Lili'uokalani
was named by a former regent who had issues with her eyes at the time of
her birth, and thusly named, albeit bears on levity, nevertheless, translation:
"Lilith, I enjoin your Hawaiian-Half Sister; Lili'uokalani,
Queen A-Sore-Sight-to-the-Eyes, bid you sweet, Aloha"
IT'S OFFICIAL
Kingdom O Hawaii Nei
Reclamation Nigh
*(howbeit farfetched;
FYI--those clueless;
there has been movement to such a scenario)
I vote no on that matter of which I understand--why. Though the kingdom was overthrown, time played her hand, as the eventual superpowers went hither and tither about as The Pacific was their chessboard and its inhabitants their pawns and LILITH never played chess--SHE played the players, both the nations and the crowns, royal & imperial that eventually led to WWII--Lilith MY fictional myth, was waiting for players to come along. My ancient village of Kalapana 80-120AD, the States much later, England, France, Japan, ancients' all--like I said, LILITH, never the chess player, she just moved around the table covering every angle, and of what I stated at the top of this tidbit--SHE'S The Timekeeper, probably met Hawaii's myth-makers of Kalapana.
