It's been really amazing staying in a 18 million dollar home here in Maui on
Makena beach, (and also having friends that like to spoil you at their expense)
but now there's no housing left for the middle and low income classes in Hawaii. A one bedroom on
the beach is 1.5 mils, a two bedroom condo $379,000 plus association fees.
Sugar plantations and pineapple lost out to international competition. Was it
meant to be, that such beauty should be reserved for only the wealthy?
Totems Lost
An orange ball sun sets
as a green streak explodes.
Lava rock, palm leaves, and breeding whales
crest, then submerge
into subconscious levels. Negro
clear crystal waters, energy
dispersed, chilled chi waivers.
Terra homo sapien bellies
lay supline on wood floating, earth
sealed by lava fires, chilled with
trade winds returning. Rivers ran
red as man prevailed over Gods
and nature. Sharks now swimming
backwards, humans rise into darkened
skies, green only a mirage,
a pretense, omens forgotten
in totems lost.
