Decolonize - What do our ancestors say?

I have an illness.  I write then lose what I have written.  I cannot remember which PC I was writing on, nor whether I wrote longhand, in a booklet, on bond or in the back of a serviette. I know it was written.  It rests in my mind.  Where is it?  Where is it?  Then, as I look for it, I discover writing that I have no recollection creating.  I know it is mine.  It is in my handwriting.  Here is an example of the latter:

In response to a FB post by a friend who said, and this is a quote: "We cannot correct all of the transgressions of our ancestors/relatives"  (Or, maybe it is paraphrased) and in my preamble to the holographic poem I followed-up on her post with with Response: "True".

This poem is dated November 5, 2012, in the midst of, or advent of #INM and reflects on my motivations for posts in the FB group #HTT going back to June 2008.  My poetry about colonization began in 2003. I had a slow awakening before that and have been on stream of learning.

I do not remember writing this.
