Black text on white background. Title: "Eight stages of white settler colonial denial". Stage 1 they didn't exist (terra nullius), stage 2 if they did, they weren't here (terra nullius), stage 3 if they were, they didn't use the land (doctrine of discovery), stage 4 if they did, they didn't deserve it, stage 5 if they did, they lost it (right of conquest), stage 6 if they didn't, it doesn't matter anymore (Westphalia sovereignty), stage 7 if it does, we need to move on (liberalism), if we can't, we are you (self-indigenization).

Fuck all settler colonial projects.
A poem by Marwan Makhoul. Black text in English and Arabic against a white background. The text reads, "In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds and in order to hear the birds the warplanes must be silent"
