November 1, 2018 Vegan Day




I am a speciesist.


I am prejudiced for the animal body.
I am biased by the age of the child.
I am tired of the exploitation with sex,
conflated with youth and captivity.

The reputation of a perfect stake/steak
makes me hunger for a better plate.


For fourteen years I have resolved
to crave the vegetal path.


Patting the Earth's dirt to grow a vegetable;
sprouting a bean from scratch:
I don't seem to mind when plants hatch.
It's a different process in every case.


Trafficking farm life is a war on animals.
Compulsive domination through reproduction
rather than childhood must conclude.


No more afraid of the beak and the hoof
lets embrace our fellow animals with
trust and grace, let them obey the law
for their, and our own, sake.
Age of consent should be 18 years old.
