It's probably why Ashley Frawley (a sociologist of Native Canadian ethnicity who grew on a reservation)
was on to Jacinda Adern from the start, even when the entire World was in awe.

She was irked by the "We're here to "help you, look after you" attitude,
which she probably saw from White authorities all her life.
which led to all sorts of grabs.

They were all small but thousands of Australian Soldiers were unnecessarily exposed to radiation.

So, weapons of mass destruction were employed,
you know it, but Tony was your Trump,
so he was just lying about WMDs,
the ones Saddam kept telling us
–– he had still...

So when Putin tells us he's not going to invade
Crimea, as he did with Georgia and Crimea,
if Tony Blair were to pint this out,
you know, for sure, he's
lying and Putin? ––

NO WORRIES MATE!

Is this supposed to be free verse?

mayfly,

Why do you think my family left the reservation shortly after The Trail of Tears.

No future there. I used to visit annually with my teacher and he would opine
(and I've said this many times over the years, so bear with me, it bears repeating)
look at all those young bucks laying around blaming the white man for all their problems,
all they have to do is get a job! I did. You did. (Translation, they need to get off the reservation.)

Tribalism (/group identity) is a problem for too many our culture. People of all races
just don't leave failing communities/cities because their people are there ––
it's just all they know, all they have and what they also share generally
are schools that are failing them because they cannot break the
inherent cultural inertia, lethargy and apathy.

Think of it as the antidote (or reaction) to
the idiot screen stretchers who are too
stupid to resize those important pictures
that they use as a substitute for language
skills or are too lazy to resize those graphs
and charts that they find more important at
making their point (usually political) than
anything they have to say (which gets back
to point one) and therefore I keep my sentences
short and sometimes that plays into my
more playful artistic nature.

I do not need to explain that to my kindred
spirits, just a few who lack imagination and,
for lack of a better word, whimsicality...
