In the wake of the many contributing factors, most involving official negligence, to the fires which have ravaged Lahaina and much of the rest of Maui over the last weeks, a posting of a song about official negligence and nonchalance about human life when, post-harvest, the sugar cane plantations would have insufficiently-controlled fires to clear the stalks remaining, and to hell with those who lived nearby, vs. the current situation, where the former cane and pineapple plantations have been overrun by guinea grass and other vegetation which has not been adequately controlled, and helped fuel the murderous fires, while various other sorts of befuddled incompetence led in large part to what will presumably be several hundred human lives lost, among the many other damages.
