I decolonize
I decolonize
I decolonize
because I realize
that I was given eyes
to see
ears to hear
blood to be
the human being
that I choose to be
a First Nations woman
who has the right to live in dignity
and beauty
who dares to think
to speak
to say
that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
can your God Forbid
apply
to even someone
like me
