Animals Respect
By Heidi Stephenson

Blending black and white
in perfect union

Reflecting ancient
Brother/Sisterhood

Racoon, zebra, panda,
orca, tapir, penguin,

osprey, lemur, badger,
anteater, skunk,

stand
united with

Californian King snake,
Siberian husky,

Dalmatian dog,
Holstein cow –

that none
should be judged

for their pigment-producing
capacities.

...Nature’s own stand,
against racism.
