Not Our Property

<br>Pain is pain. <br><br>We designate our higher rank, then subjugate those of a &quot;lesser&quot; state.<br>We construct the definitions to reinforce our dominant positions<br>and now that we`ve established us and them, we feel a peace of mind.<br>Similarities? Coincidence, dismissed; all doubts are set aside.<br><br>But don`t look in the mirror<br>you may not like what you find<br>�cause when the doubts return you`ll see<br>that being human doesn`t mean we have the right<br>to do whatever the fuck we please.<br><br>Is it lack of compassion, or a love of control?<br>Dare I speculate? Do I want to know?<br>I renounce that mindset;<br>I offer my respect to the non-human animals I share this earth with.<br><br>Their existence is not defined by our status in comparison.<br>They`re so much more than biological instruments.<br><br>Pain is pain across the board.<br>Your rationalizations hold no more.<br>Superior to what!?<br>So as long as you maintain your present course,<br>that train of thought let me tell you that…<br>I`ll live my life resisting as long as you keep riding that train of thought.
