Tane Mahuta




Impressive beyond comprehension
Ancient giant of the forest, invincible..
Wise and wonderful living ancestor
Illustrious, primitive;
What do you know?

Leafy arms reaching, heaven your goal
On high, life on the wing visiting,
Below, bush life, snuffling, hiding
sheltering, sleeping;
What have you seen?

Once was a million, a family of strength
Now fallen, like brave warriors in battle;
To a weaker foe, with hidden agenda
Blind to your beauty, your mana, prestige
What is their point?

  1. I don't know how but I'd guess that it has something to do with money...
