Entitlement.

Except in the bureaucratic sense,
nobody, not even presidents or priests,
are entitled to anything,
not even dominion
over the beasts.

Civilisation depends
(amongst much else)
on the concept of superiority.

Civilisation depends
on our belief that we are
intrinsically superior
to all other life upon the planet,
and that life is superior to non-life.

To dispute this is insanity:
you will exile yourself
beyond the cruel Pale of Humanity.
