Since the beginning of the world every life
has been part of a system of interdependence
and support with other life forms.
In nature's hierarchy many animals find parasitism
productive as a part of their system.
Such that it is vital for mutual survival.
Only humans talk about 'equality'.
Humans are also the only creatures
to create mass social systems
including slavery and capitalism.
With their attendant concepts
of outright ownership, where so few are 'hosts'
and so many are made out to be 'parasites',
in a blindness to nature so compound
in character, it is beyond perversity.
