CIVILIZED?

They raped and pillaged the global south

They enriched themselves at the expense of others

and then they closed their borders

Their carbon footprint still hurts the global south

Yet they close their borders

And have made a business out of criminalizing immigration

still they steal

still they punish

still they humiliate

They smile in your face

yet will inform on you

in their minds anyone who will challenge their priviledge must be dealt with

like they dealt with Medgar Evers,

like they dealt with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

that’s why they have 5 eyes

They are the Aussies

They are the Canucks

They are from “the States“

they are from Europe

they are Kiwis

Expats

We are the immigrants

The war refugees

The climate refugees

The economic refugees

The terrorists

The criminals

they say that their indigenous are treated well

they say they have not been replaced….

border towns

man camps

Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and girls

our leaders dead

or encaged

for the audacity to call out

THEIR SYSTEM

A system that bombs brown babies.

Meanwhile I see the disdain in that White guys face

but it didn’t bother me, I knew of their hate

I saw he took glee in telling me that we couldn’t topple the system/the system he benefits from.

Somehow he was proud of his
