We are born subject.

Our subjection to the nation-state
is proved by Birth Certificate.
We die as subjects
and are certified as dead.

Between birth and death,
our first and our last breath,
the State is in possession,
is lord, of our identity
over which we have only
minimal control.

Now pets have passports.

To hate the State has no effect on it
but some - or terrible - effect on you.
The Greek dramaturges knew
that the State
is Fate.
