Identity
Identity
Educate yourself enough so you may understand
the ways of other people
But not too much
that you may lose
your understanding
of your own
Try things palagi
Not so you may become palagi
but so may see the value
of things Sāmoan
Learn to speak Sāmoan
not so you may sound Sāmoan
but so you may
feel the essence
of being Sāmoan
Above all
be aware and proud
of what you are
so you may spare yourself
the agony of those who are asking
“What am I ?”
Lemalu Samau Tate Simi (1995)

Responding to Refugees
Refugees by Brian Bilston
They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way
