pedestals

A L O H A
              



Moloch 
whose mind is pure machinery!
Moloch whose blood is running money!
Moloch whose fingers are ten armies!
Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo!
Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb! 

Allen Ginsberg

 "A School Boy in Hawaii"
Dr. Sun Yat-sen
Age 13
Artist: Chu Tat Shing, 2007

Gift to our city by the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Hawaii Foundation

"This is my Hawaii. . .
here I was brought up and educated,
and it was here that I came to know
what modern, civilized governments are like
and what they mean."
Dr. Sun Yat-sen

He came to the islands from Zhongshan
in 1879 at age 13.
His Revive China Society was founded here.










 
"A pedestal
is as much a prison
as any small, confined space. "

What's on YOUR pedestal?


What do you REALLY
f e a r
&
s e r v e
?

Is your God 

unconditionally loving,

holding the door of forgiveness open

way past dark?


 Or rigid and correct,

tricking people

into messing up

for the pleasure of

judgment,

punishment?

All 
'rules cast in cement'
?




Is your belief

an IDOL

instead of

an inspiration

?

please leave a comment, 
        "Huh?" is acceptable :-) cloudia
