Letting the Light Shine Through


letting the light shine through
treaty 4 flag
as long as the sun glows
the river flows
the grasses grow


letting the light shinre through
every child matters flag
illuminating our darkness
with orange healing fire
handled with care


letting the light shine through
the Union Jack flag
exposing the crosses born in
England, Scotland, Ireland
settler colonialism afoot on this land


letting the light shine through
the Canada flag
settlers taking up the crosses bourn
by Treaty-relatives through broken promises
this is a truth that may lead to reconciliation
