"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.

Well said... Oahu is called the "Heart of Hawaii," The Dole Plantation and hid den gems of Oahu with Waimea Botanical Garden/Waterfall are sights. Books like “Voices of Fire” and “Pele” are filled with many legends. Still a work in progress! My poem 12/10/22 "Hawaiian Rocks" " Mono Loa"

A tribute to a controversial figure. Too historical for me, a subject I always hated in my studies. But well written. Good luck with the contest.

Reasons I, Dramatic Monologue be. I present the middle of the road, and you handle the steering wheel. Veer right to get the good side, or veer left to get bad side, or stay in the middle and get the full measure, OR, park it by a sidewalk cafe where my monoku waits for a smile, Sahha/Aloha, William.
