Listen to the voices calling to protect people, plants and animals; air, water, land, and sea
Stop Bombing Hawaii!
Protect Pohakuloa By Ruth Aloua
I’m rising to my commitment
To speaking my truth
I’m not the type to cower
I’ll rise to my power
I’ll be transparent
My position is peace
It’s what my heart speaks
Even though I don’t hear the bombs drop
My heart still stops
At the sound of that terror
This must be an error
Peace is what they preach
But not what they teach
They swear to protect us
Yet still suppress us
People and power
Have become their
Moving targets
If you’ve heard that sound and
Felt that shake
You’ll know what it means
To have your heart drop
With the click of one tock
Those numbing emotions
Bodiless movements
That capture you in one moment
Your unwanted presence
Is not a secret
The tactics
You use to
Displace us
Erase us
Break us
Can’t conquer the
Love that
Flows through our
Veins
That unifies our people
That gives us the ability
To see clearly
Through this harsh reality
That’s painted with
False illusions that
Violence is needed in the pursuit of justice
Pain is necessary to knowing love
War is a part of our humanity
We deserve better
And so do our lands
Including our hearts
Its my demand
You don’t have to agree
It’s my truth, you see
