evidence for both protest against annexation and her respect of her people and their safety
I told them that if the mass of the native people chose to rise, and try to throw off the yoke, I would say nothing against it, but I could not approve of mere rioting.
reminds me of her comment describing hawaiisn as not tending to riot (after queen emma lost)

and these representative bodies of my own nation prayed me to undertake certain measures for the general good of Hawaii.
even after dethroned she still worked for the good of her people
my judgment should dictate for the good of the Hawaiians, to whom the Creator gave those beautiful islands in the Pacific

until he became imbued with Dr. Hyde's own prejudices against the native people of the Hawaiian Islands and against their queen.

it will be noticed that the constitution forced upon my brother at that date made the sovereign inferior to the cabinet.

Perhaps they imagined at this time that I would be a willing tool to carry out all of their projects.

The British government has long since adopted license instead of prohibition, and the statute proposed among the final acts of my government was drawn from one in use in the British colonies; yet I have still to learn that there has been any proposition on the part of the pious people of London to dethrone Her Majesty Queen Victoria for issuing such licenses.
double standard
I am simply explaining what this bill intended, because, by the reports sent to their correspondents in the United States, the missionary party represented me as a grand vender of lottery tickets, by which I was to become rich and powerful; whereas the scheme, be it good or bad, would not have been to my individual profit, but to that of my native people.
how she was misrepresented
The prosperity brought by the reciprocity treaty and the sugar plantations had disappointed our expectations.
.
the missionary party have had the impudence to announce to the world that I was unworthy longer to rule, because on my sole will and wish I had proposed to overthrow "the constitution."

It should, however, be only necessary to remember that the measures which brought about our accession of wealth were not at all in line with a policy of annexation to the United States, which was the very essence of the dominant "missionary" idea.
her brother's rule was a golden age but it's problematic to credit the missionaries

So accurate
Immoral in USA
Can we stop acting as if the US is so much more "civilized" than other places? We do all of these with little remorse from the conservative portion of our country, except for the killing of newborns just for their gender (though we do kill newborns by way of our god awful 'health care' and wealth inequities.

repetition of yes all leads up to the final yes to marriage. the lack of punctuation also makes the whole thing read as if it's being said very quickly, as if a lot of thoughts are happening all at once.
the poet uses both "sissy" and "butch", are they gay or are they just surrounded by gay people????
"first time" oo so he's important
"I thought..." why is this past tense? this is just fact
"keep your hands... etc" What does that mean?! 😶
the repeated "I remember" signifies the introduction of a new idea/thought. Also sets up a good rhythm. Similar to an "I am from" poem

vaster
very large or wide
master

losing
the repetition of the many forms of the verb "to lose" highlights the theme of loss throughout the poem without the poet having to explicitly tell the reader what it is about
We
The repetition of the word "we" (as well as the placement in the poem) create a rhythm that stands out. Especially since the lines are very short, the words that are repeated stands out even more.
