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
