Liberation.   Choosing self respect   in every breath and nothing less because i don't need no wratchet friend named self-hate   instead use my actions for compassion   moving inner lovelight through one mic   amplifying the frequencies of speaking the truth   give thanks for our roots   cause where would we be without them,   don't doubt them   after all they've bursted through   working to give birth to you   what's worse than you denying   the prayer that sent you flying out of a womb    don't you dare make a tomb out of your breath   Accept, youre blessed   and make a home out of your life  don't chill on the front steps with self-conciousness the whole night   COME INSIDE!  Make yourself comfortable  with yourself!    you don't need a mirror to see any clearer   you have a third eye thats receeded into your brain  because they say its no longer safe to follow your heart   look deeply inward and learn to love the dark parts  because its about time we did   because the earth is dark and you are made of her   because the infinite Darkness is what Pontan Traversed To find this place for you for me to claim  and this is an ancient love  so take a risk!  believe love exists!   because love,   you came fromt this because our ancestors  had a vision and you are it    switch on your inner light and let it guide you   because you are the sun   and the universe of possibility revolves around your daily choices    your choice is…   well you have no other choice   mother earth is about to kill us   unless we find the courage to heal us    will you cower?  or assume your power!?  you are the fruit of god  don't turn sour!    and even if you did,  my nåna would still eat you…   with a lil bit of Donne’  because the old people in my family know gratitude in a concentration camp   know thankfulness after four hundred years of foreign occupation   after 68 nuclear bombs have risen over the horizon of disregarded humanity   we still know family   because no missles whistle louder than our creation songs   it doesn't take a bomb to know this,   you can hear them if you open the heart in your ears,   fear of disconnection   does not make it wrong to connect   You  are  NATIVE  to breath and yes  there is magic in the air   you have a gift   it would be unfair  if you don't share   don't be scared of yourself   who does that help?  not you  and definitely   not  anyone  else    this is your life  and you are 98.6 degrees of light   so shine bright like a diamond   like the sun in a lion's mane  you are the sixth sun rising maaaaang!    the new day is coming   there is no use in running   there is ONE choice!   LOOOOOOOVVVVVVIIIIINGGGG!    because all life is sacred   and you are life!   and you are sacred   there is a spiritual evolution   begging for your creation   you are creator   and this poem is   your reflection   a prayer for your power   asking you to  step in

Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health  if you say the cultures dying you’re talking about your self  I’m not about to witness mores tree die up in this jungle  So I pray I can stay humble as I sit and watch you tumble  and we can laugh it off … like this barely even happened  cuz I know the wound is deep for generations it has been  about the loss and the pain of depravation  for four hundred years of surviving devastation  but how long will that short of amount of time define us  Our historys much longer than a bout with colonizers  im tongue tied up  when I hear these words escape  from the mouths of people born and living in this age  where we can speak our language and not get taxed or beaten  do you know what has been sacrificed so we can have our freedom? we can speak our language and not get taxed or beaten  there is no reason we should not exercise our freedom  Cultures what we cultivate // people give it health  if you say the cultures dying you’re talking about your self  Cultures what we cultivate // people give it health  Cultures what we cultivate // people give it health if you say the cultures dying you’re talking about your self  Cultures what we cultivate // people give it health  when you say the cultures dying we just killing ourselves If we don’t do the work to clear up all the hurt  we just pass it on to our children who really don’t deserve  more excuses for the nooses we tie around our selves  the truth is we can do this our ancestors here to help  i can hear them crying out people tell me they have seen  spirits in the form of feathers and grandma's chanting in dreams  I know this is their message asking us to just believe  but I am not a priest and definitely not here to preach  just trying to craft a medicine to set our people free  from the pain and the piniti we converse with the aniti  and learn to trust our selves and the signs from i gunifi  it is not always easy often confronting and painful  when something tests our faith then we just get more faithful  and grateful for our saina cause we know they will  have our backs // and tell us to carry on  every moment we feel weak we just be getting strong  Hu Guaiya hao Guåhan yan I islas Marianas  the future coming towards us is truly beyond what  we can imagine now / // Na’lå’la’ I Taotao  Hita sesu kuma’hulo’ kulan Pulan yan Atdao  Hita I Manmatao ni lumangak i Chaochao  I Muna’lå’la’la’ i pengga’-ta yan i fino’ håya i hila-hu Ta na’famta i pengga’-ta ya humolo’ i taotao  annai ta lå’la’ gi pengga’-ta i chinalek pumaopao Ta na’famta i pengga’-ta ya humolo’ i taotao  an ta lå’la’ gi pengga’-ta i chinalek pumaopao Ta na’famta i pengga’-ta ya humolo’ i taotao  an ta lå’la’ gi pengga’-ta i chinalek pumaopao i chose to lose the narrative of loss so i carefuly dig through the memories buried in the plot  of land my umbilical is tied to  as a young kid i knew / until i read books  with a negative look on my survival  academic papers filed to  the aisles of authentic native disappearance  so i took to the pen with creative adherence  to the principles of fireworks in my words i learned  to let the saina guide first as i worked  i heard voices in the noises so i turned  to prayer as the process my inner light burned brighter  to enlighten my search  im pontan in the cipher emerging from the infinity  finding a new earth cause forever i have been at sea  purging all the hurt and in service of the divinity  my purpose is to surface mistaken for lost memories the beginning of our people did not quite begin with me   i am the sprouting seed but my father is the giving tree   my mother is the earth where my roots have grown so large  and i listen to her song for as im sailing through the dark  Charred and battered by the past is one story I could tell  but the breathe of my ancestors still strongly fills my sails  Charred and battered by the past is one story I could tell  but the breathe of my ancestors still strongly fills my sails  Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health  we simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves  Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health  we simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves  Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health  we simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves  Cultures what we cultivate the people give it health  we simply live our culture and let spirit heal ourselves  Cuz we can not afford no more dying in these jungles  the trees humble witnesses to human power struggles  and after all thats happened they stand in dignified prayers  rooted in reciprocating breathe with clean air  the earth is the only mother that we share  so we give thanks for everyday that we can be here  we hear the sweet music of every creatures movement  breathe deeply with awareness of human induced confusion let go of the ego and be in tune with natures crooning  infused in every color shade we take in as we're cruising  steadily remembering melodies with this net i weave  sharing whats been shared with me of turtle islands remedies  cultivating inner peace reveals there are no enemies emptying my bloodline from poisons from the centipede

(In Tina… In Tina I Manmatao) Håfa Adai Kia ora from Aotearoa  With a fresh hot flow ah donne’ with a to’a  mango, travelling on pieces of the rainbow  bridge  uenuku  in my ulu as i stay so  close to the pulu of the omen birds  listen to the oceans words  as i cruise through the unai  feet get fotgon when the tåsi gets magodai  give thanks to the tao tao who help me ma’udai  with the kåna of the tåno’ i descend from  tend to chenchu’le ancestral connections  Ti mamaigo’ si yu’os so we can’t forget them  Remembering the dance as I pray to all directions  Step one / is cho’gue ya nihi ta fanoghe  protectors of the land hita i manggogue’  so we - know our manggåfa and our håle’  Activate our words to be the tåle’ that bind us  gather babao from the spirits to remind us  i trust in my saina to guide me align with faith in the timing  As I be arriving  in this land full of mana  i pick up the take’ and compost the tåki Chanting O Manasaina Si Yu’os Ma’åse  Chilling Te whenua o Te Kawerau ā maki  let the hånom of the saddok wash me  clean as I sing to creations spring I see the dinga' of Lasso' Fuha  Giya this whenua  Known as Lion's rock  But it's real names  Te Piha  (In Tina… In Tina I Manmatao)

Live in a Good way  Every day Wake up Give Thanks for the atdao Live in a good way Every day Wake up and put it down for my taotao Live in a Good Way Everyday the pathway i am taking is sacred when i walk it  concious of creating the world when i am talkin  stopping all the traumas of of my mommas and my fathers  my flow immerses my whole lineage in holy waters  soaking sores of those before with spoken words  i open doors to ocean shores and hope for more  healing and revealing reconnection to my feelings  seeing through the sky with no embodying the ceiling revelations of creating the bonds of our relations  i'm taking the path of taking it back to facing the facts  of our existence reconnection to the mystics  the language of spirit is the OG scientifics  dancing the inscription of my intuitions hieroglyphics  reading currents movement is pacifics physics  listen to the birds as their direction pivots  they sing the song of life and taught me how to live it  I'm driven to sail my såkman  more than chase a stack man  that path ends up runnning in cages like a pacman  coming from the past then to where the future happens  time travel when im rappin laughin or passin the time  crafting a rhyme i happened to find a path to divine  ancestors  teachings reaching through dimensions  when i give attention to genealogies meanings  seeing while im dreamingx, receiving tarot card readings  and when focused on my breathing,  hongi lone trees when im lonely  just a moment to give my soul peace when I'm OD stressed out, i stretch and rest while I meditate And give thanks and praise  for this life everyday  and everyday   Ha’åni yan Ha’åni Hu sodda’ i minaolek gi lina’lå-hu gi lina’lå-hu
