Some say that this was the worst thing for the island while others disagreed. 🌫

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina..
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago..
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming',
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign..

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here..
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds..
In the name of destiny and in the name of God..

And you can see them there on Sunday morning..
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there..
They called it paradise, I don't know why..
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye...

😟

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot.

Good one palama!!! Jonni -1970. If you'll keep paving eventually get to know how good paradise was.
