Tereiti Pohatu Poet I do not know?

Waitangi

The people the land sweat 
poured out hard working 
people 
intelligent as others try to 
decide the fate of a nation 
families full of history, broken 
history broken promises who 
only want their land to be kept 
untouched clean and green for 
their children and mokopuna to 
enjoy.  
Who are we where do we come 
from do we come from 
monkeys?No we don't.
Our ancestors were leaders the 
first one to sign the treaty was 
honeheke
check it out so we are leaders, 
leaders in our own right i 
respect those that have been 
and who are our leaders of the 
country you give you get.  
Jesus full of love, patience, 
peace my leader my love my all

Paul Callus July 25, 2014 at 5:58 AM We all should feel proud of where we come from...our land of birth...and it is only right that our ancestors and present leaders be given their due respect. But ultimately it is God who leads the way. Well written, Tereiti! // paul
