The Center

The Center

The Center is all about power
using colonialism and
Binary opposition
who is the master and who is the slave
who rules who.

“[H]e says: you are ignorant.” (Tawali)

The Center tries to justify
imperialism
and colonialism
by claiming to improve lives
of the “lesser.”

“You are killing me. You are destroying my traditions. I hate you Cross.” (Leomala)

The Center maintains control
using neocolonialism to enforce
socio-economic
and political forces.

“Rule New Zealand by oppression, independence gained through loss and depression.” (Maiava)

The Center keeps their control
from the destruction
from colonialism
but psychological control remains.

“I'm sick and tired of my people always thinking they belong at the bottom of the food chain – brown brother.” (Iosefa)

The Center losses it's definite position
it is a new world
with cyberspace
and globalisation.

Now
listen to the people
of a world different

than your own.
