Black Sheep

Does the sheep wonder of its colour Before it’s tarred with a brush Does the sheep feel unfavourable Without judgement from us Does the sheep acknowledge its identity Feel caged, suppressed or free Does the sheep feel like a lesser sheep If it’s left to simply be Does the sheep recognise discomfort From those irrationally frightened Does the sheep care for such ignorance Of those much less enlightened Does the sheep seek to take from us Responsibilities that are our own Does the sheep wish to teach us all Discrimination begins at home Does the sheep even care to wonder About these nonsensical things Or Does the sheep just want to chew its grass And see what each day brings
