Na Stan Levin, World BEYOND War, Noema 17, 2022
Whakarongo mai e tama.
Ko koe tetahi o nga paanui o tenei ra
i runga i te papa chesss,
me te kaikawe e noho ana i to taha
ko ia te rangatira chess.
Ehara ia i to hoa, tama.
He pai ake tana mohio ki a koe i to mohio ki a koe ano.
E mohio ana ia mo te testosterone,
E mohio ana ia mo te pakeketanga, me te naiveté
o nga tamariki penei i a koe.
Kei te tatau ia mo ana painga
ki te tirotiro i o ngoikoretanga.
Ehara tenei i tana ra tuatahi…
Engari nau tena, a he mea mate me whakaaro nui koe.
He uaua ake i nga wa katoa.
Kaore ia e whai whakaaro nui ki a koe,
Engari ka mahia e au ....
Whakarongo pai ki te aha te kaikawe e kore e ki ana.
Kaua e hiahia ki te tini o nga riipene me nga mētara.
Kei te mahi ia i tana mahi,
a kei te karanga ahau ki o koutou whakaaro mo te tika me te he
ki te wikitoria.
He mahi ta te kaikawe,
he hua tana,
he misioni tana,
he mahi tana.
Kaua e pena, e tama.
He ora koe.
Ka haere tatou ki te puru mohoao ki tera taha,
Na, ko wai
i te timatanga o tona oranga
e kore e koa ki nga kupu whakaohooho, penei?
Ki Kei Runga i te Aniwaniwa
Tuhinga o mua Ki tera, ki tera ra,
te wahi i noho ai te kororia,
he wera hoki te toto harakore
Ka piki ki runga, ki te ra,
He mahi ka taea e koe te utu i to oranga,
te ahua nei ehara i te whakaaro mo te kaitito waiata,
e patai ana i ona tohu.
Tenei ka haere mai e topa ana ki te whakatau i a tatou whatitiri,
Uh – Aue
I a ratou tama, Homai te pu!
Kia mahara.
To hoa riri,
te tahi atu tama a te whaea,
ka whakahoki kupu mai,
ko wai te kaupapa
i tenei wa,
he patu i a koe.
A ka kitea e koe, mena ka ora koe i te tohe,
ehara koe i a John Wayne…
a ehara tenei i te huinga MGM….
Ko Disneyland ranei
Ka ruku matou ki raro, ka pupuhi i te mura o raro,
Auê te anaanatae mau ia feruriruri i tera!
He roera motuhake,
he taputapu hangarau tiketike mo te mate,
he mutunga kore te neke i runga i nga rererangi me nga rahi katoa.
A ko koe, he toa kei te hanga,
kei te whakahaere,
karekau he whakautu ki tetahi.
He tino whakapohehe.
E mohio ana matou.
Whakamutua me te haruru heckuva!
He pai ki nga tamariki nga huihuinga maru,
ko nga mea katoa he keemu ki nga tamariki.
Kei te whakawhirinaki atu te kaikawe ki a koe, e tama.
Ko te Military-Industrial-Complex kei te whakawhirinaki atu ki a koe, e tama.
Kei te whakawhirinaki atu te kawanatanga kua pangia ki a koe.
Karekau tetahi e tino awangawanga ana mo te ahuatanga o tenei ki a koe.
He maha o tatou, kua i reira, e tino awangawanga ana.
E ora ana tatou i roto i te rongonui, ka heke ranei ki te mura o te ahi,
Ko te wawata rongonui, pohehe, whakamiharo,
ka whakakake i to whakapehapeha,
to whakaaro aroha whenua,
me to whakaraeraetanga, me.
Ko te wahanga mura….
ehara i te mea nui… a kahore he kororia.
Hei! Kaore he mea hei aukati i te US Air Force!
Ehara i te pono, kimihia…. Kia tupato kei awhina koe ki te whakapohehe i a koe ano.
He pai ake nga mea ka taea e koe mo to oranga,
atu ki te tuku ki te karanga siren.
Ki tenei, he tokomaha ka taea te whakaatu!
