Malcolm Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Malcolm

Hey Malcolm,
My friend, brother,
Battleford's,
The witness
To natives-Settlers…

Hey Malcolm,
The victim,
Of beatings,
Suspicions,
Thanks to war!

Hey Malcolm,
The Cree?
Chipewyan?

I do see,
Understand!

"He must be a bastard! "
Father said to your mom,
You went to a foster house,
Every year, house to house,
……….

Hey Malcolm,
I can see, they cannot,
You are not criminal…

Hear me say out loud,
I will fight for your rights,
You are not criminal…
