Dominion embodies disastrous behavior
obscuring fundamental ecological truths
In the colonized mind, Indigenous people are savages
Savages are not people in the lands colonized
no people, no culture, no laws
nothing stands in the way
of taking and consuming

| kaboom! |
Colonial settler adamancy, like being racist
is structural and specifically targets
the erasure and elimination of the colonized
as people, as a living human, breathing and being
no people, no culture, no laws
nothing stands in the way
of need and greed
Civilized versus savage
the fundamental base for brainwash
the framework of every whitewash
of the colonial mindset
no people, no culture, no laws
nothing stands in the way
of wanted for hunted
The function is to eliminate
actual ongoing genocide
conceptual ongoing erasure
no people, no culture, no laws
nothing stands in the way
of supremacy and domination
Erase people from history
from kinship to a land
from space and place in culture
Hegemony deletes human beingness
in both settler and settled
indigenous and introduced
Dismantling doctrines of dominance
resurrects broken promises
stolen and buried pasts
removal acts
trails of tears
generational genocides
Dehumanized and demonized
the deep existential and cultural cost
the profound environmental and spiritual toll
the bedrock of nation building
the house of cards we built
