Imagine horses or donkeys as humans and vice versa
Holding the whips as we run with them and their goods
Whipping the slowness off our veins when tiredness catches up
Imagine dogs as humans and humans as dogs
Teaching us the smell of edible games and giving the instructions
Giving us a pat on our backs when we do well
Imagine cats as humans and humans as cats
Cooking foods and giving us little
Putting our faces in our shit when we ease around
Imagine ants as humans and humans as ants
Walking on land and stepping on us to kill
Even without their knowledge
Why? Don’t stare.
It’ll be a field day in hell
Being at the receiving end of our own brutalities.
