TE AO HOU Your people cry out for knowledge but the baskets of food are almost empty and we know not where to find Te Whare a Tane. While you recline in obesity your stockades crumble and the Tautiaki salutes the company of wind and rain, and lowly beasts. You shrug and turn away with eyes blurred survey your traditions being swept aside by the flood of life while that which you hold sacred gesticulates from behind the windows of a Pakeha shop and the Manaia carved for dollars and cents bows his head in shame. Let not the ‘garment of Tu’ become a moth-ball of modern neglect Whakatika! take up your paddles cast your dart Ki Te Reo Maori hold tight your Maoritanga lest your calabash overflow with the fat of modern living and the death of yesterday becomes a meaningless wave of tomorrow.
