Pink Cross (right-wing extremist Christian org run by Shelley Lubben, who claims to have extensive experience in the industry but is very likely lying. Shelley seeks out performers and convinces them to fabricate horror stories about the industry in exchange for financial security which she then never provides, is essentially a scam artist).

“There is not one Pacific There are many From the solid slops of Mount Hagen  and  Porgera’s wealth in the west To the Pearl locked islets  of Tuamotu’s east From the chilly tips of Maoridom south To the borders of the Northern territories  and her mysteries that span from equator  to Cancer.

There is not one troubled region There are many Trade links and nuclear free zones cohabit with foreign assistance and internal discord my sister does not speak with me anymore and old ways of doing things are re-looked at Children go to faraway places and babai pits lie idle and still.

There is not one Pacific Only one common theme That development is certain Though foreign And coconuts will continue to fall, The Pacific ocean will camouflage superficial dreams and the faint sound of drums will still be heard if we pause a while to listen.”
