I’m Not Racist, But

I won’t sit at the same
table, share a fridge or
sleep with a carnivore.

That is neither bigoted
patriotic, nationalistic
nor sexually segregating.

I do not look upon meat
eaters as inferior beings,
but perhaps, animals do.

We are what we eat after
all and we become what
we think, superior to nature.

I’m not racist, yet, I am
surrounded by the self
righteous meek inheritors.

But it’s the earth will show
up those if value and those
who are good for nothing.

If you look after your own back
garden, you will not be bothered
by those who seek a plot to plant.
