"I can scream at the injustice
mourn the loss of one of our young men
I can, I will do this again and again
I can rage against the reality of this day
I can judge myself or others
I can empathize, cry with grieving mothers
But Trayvon is gone
I can take action
move to create a space for what is right
But Trayvon, Trayvon Martin, will never see another night"

"We will need to nourish our imagination
To include a new equality
And summon our souls, hearts, and minds to a justice
Which includes all life"

"Even as I jump from a boat
In a vain attempt to join my ancestors
I am not tragic
Even in my disconnection from song, from dance
I am not tragic
Even in seeing you as privileged
As an occupier of my homeland in my homeless state
Even as men abduct us as we hitchhike
Along these new highways
To disappear on this long colonial road
I refuse to be tragic"

"I will weep for the dead
those who could take no more torture
those who would not
give up their perfect right to live free
today as Canada's suits say sorry
to those who have gotten over them
and who will keep marching alone
toward living well
I will remember my dead
who do not have the luxury
of receiving this country's apology
I will remember the dead
I will remember the dead
I will remember the dead"

"your account is lightened
without you
ever having been held accountable
today you say sorry
for the hurt
the violence
the deculturation
and as you say your sorries to the living
I will stand in remembrance
in defiance
in honour...
...I weep for the silent and defeated
the millions of small bones
who lay buried under residential school filth
and colonial policy
who never had the chance
to be heroes"

"today Canada apologizes for the war against our skin
today Canada apologizes for the whitewashing of its sin
today Canada apologizes without feeling
without believing
without truth
without sincerity
without resolution
without accountability
without ending the slaughter
without ending the theft
without ending confinement
of us forcing us to wander heroically
fighting for survival
emaciated and on fire"
