Poetry for Change
I’m honored to have been chosen as one of the poets that is in touch with Indigenous Women’s plight in a world whose inequality is still felt.
My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon. It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.

Who are our greatest victims?
Our native women’s rapes?
Over half a century ago,
Their children were of age to
Be abused and killed
Then buried and abandoned.
Abandoned but not forgetting
As parents went unknowing
Of their fates and kept hoping …
Their faith in governments
That oppressed them and forsakes
Their loved one’s destinies
That are only excavated on pleas …
And demands for knowledge
Of their kismet to be able to judge,
Whether to move on, or …
Stay in Limbo’s nescience for
Their needs are trivialized,
While others’ are optimized…
What’s needed to achieve equality
In attaining justice for all humanity
And not only a minority?
In honor of international women’s day against violence. This is only a part of all the violence that occurs against women in the world. Here’s to hoping for an elimination of such practices.
