Original Note:
Tusiata Ava's poem is a political protest poem about colonisation, Captain Cook & the devastation that he brought to the Pacific. Ava uses poetic devices like figurative language to criticise colonialism. It is a misrepresentation to say it is about "killing white people." https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/133504711/im-expressing-a-personal-truth-awardwinning-poet-tusiata-avia-responds-to-act-mps-race-baiting-claim https://thespinoff.co.nz/books/27-02-2023/how-to-read-a-poem
