Poetry Corner “Apologies to our Canadian Inuit”

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, ,

Apologies to our Canadian Inuit
necessary victims of freeze dried
concentration camps called residential school
good intentioned Paul McCartney
dares criticize an aboriginal seal hunt
no harpoon redress
uneasy trust only hastened the inevitable
amongst mineral rights and the sovereign
and commercial Arctic ventures
spouted from white man dollared dentures
accompanied by expanding markets

reduced to fishing guides for the sub 49ers
searching for char
presents of sealskin dolls
fabricated at venerealized encampments
foistered by fiats of ministerial hacks
white sympathy
tempered by budget allocations
remainders from ministerial vacations
