Who Owns The Dog
There was a time around 2008 where was a lot of drama and intrigue surrounding the issuing of some leases on Kamehameha School lands in Kona. I was a lease inspector for Kamehameha Schools. After watching all the maneuvering of the various parties in their attempt to out do each other I decided to write this song. The term "who owns the dog" comes from the Movie Crocodile Dundee where Mick explains that when people fight over land it is like two fleas fighting over who owns the dog.
As I have walked down the path of life
Trying to stay clear of what’s wrong
I have seen and been in Some serious fights
Over what it means to be right or be wrong.
Now Some of these battles had to be fought
But so many more should have not
Too be right for the sake of not being wrong
Is like to fleas fighting over who owns the dog
So I ask you please before you go out
To confront the world with threats and shouts
Is the cause that you serve much bigger than you
Or is it to prove that the dog belongs to you.
