Mana

i ka olelo no ke ola
i ka olelo no ke make

in words there is life,
in words there is death.

once i asked you in a drunken stupor if you had great mana.
you paused as if you didn't know how to answer my question
and then you answered, "Yes, i could say i have a lot of mana."
this was one of many lies you gave life to.
