The Hawaiian

From the land unknown
He stands strong and alone
With Kahilis reminding each and everyone
That his rank cannot be undone

Mind, body and soul; he is completely naked
Maka'ainana respects the decisions he makes,
Placing kapus on which he considers to be sacred.

Repeated chants, so consecrated and religious
Acknowledging the Gods of Nature
Its' sacredness lead him to be conspicuous

Physically intact, he finds time for leisure
His solid frame enables him for a time of war
Feet planted firmly on the ground,
Any offense will cause no emotional scar.
