note: i usually don’t do this, but be warned - this poem is absolutely bad > filled by revanchism, flat imagery, a colonialized-yet-pretending-to-be-progressive mindset, superficial reflections etc > nevertheless, this poem is truthful, as it clearly shows the negative effects of christian missionary efforts, harming whole communities for many generations #colonialism #poetry #pasifika #history
