For my Tauranga Moana Whanau

For progress and upholding Capitalism
Our Moana is stained with Developer’s jism
Harbour bridges for a quicker connection
Slicing across Tangaroa’s mid-section
Transformed from being “He Pataka Kai”
Our patiki choke and titiko die
The Shitpipe planned for Te Waipu
“Will benefit communities”, Tukairangi? NOT YOU.
They come, they hui, they say they consult
When plans go ahead- it’s the hapu’s fault!
Careful conditioning by the state
Doubt in matauranga Maori they create
By “consents”, our resources are milked
With a healthy dose of reversed cultural guilt
Fertilizer works and petroleum tanks
The scent of political promise- stagnant. Rank.
When they dredge the pipi for a larger Port
May justice prevail, and the bastards get caught
With hands up the skirt of the native maiden
Richly fertile, with endowments laden
In Mauao’s shadow the paapaka wait
Watching the coloniser- who will meet their fate
While we weep and Papamoana cries
Swirls furious Hinehuhuritai
Individual’s decisions, agendas hidden
Accept the blankets- flea ridden
Of Land and Sea, Earth and Water
I am Tangatawhenua. Papatuanuku’s daughter.
I’ll not hold hands, sing “Whakaaria Mai”
While fleets of ngangara fill the skies
“Raupatu” some say, their hands are clapping
The powers that be, just keep on slapping
Our faces, our hands, they bite like kutu
Their day will come. We call it- UTU
