Destinee

Laughter fills the air
the breeze rolls on by
This time is ours to share
I'm most happy when I see your eyes

Your soft, brown hair tickles my cheek
as we roll around on the grass
Surrounded by all the Willow trees,
we secretly hope for this moment to last.

The sun begins to set
I hug you close to me
this moment we will never forget
it is ours for eternity

I love you, my sweet "fate"
You're forever in my heart
If I'd one wish to make,
it'd be that we never two shall part

Indigenous

Indigenous

I belong on this land.
N ative born, it is all I know.
D isplacement brought much sorrow.
I ran away, hidden away in the tall grass.
G enocide can only strip away so much DNA.
E nding the lives of so many, for what cause?
N ever forget the true agriculturists of this land
O ppression stripped the human rights of my ancestors
U nity was never an option.
S ubjagation is never the answer.

Homeless

My tears slowly fall, as if on cue, one by one.
I squeeze my eyes shut, a subtle attempt to stop the this emotion.
Did I not make myself clear? I have nothing more to say.

Please leave me alone now. Walk away.
I have everything I need, with me, in this bag, and on my feet. My clothes will be my shelter,
I am complete. I will NOT bite the hand that feeds me. Those were not my true intentions.
I am less than a man. I am homeless.
