Whose Convenience?

Of all Nature's many and
varied creatures, we alone merit
recognition as the masters of all
we survey, exploiting and
manipulating our surroundings
to our comfort and security
and the lesser creatures to servitude
and sacrifice toward our well-being.
For we are creatively imaginative,
capable of achieving insights and
goals to perpetuate our survival
and pleasure in life. We dominate
the agenda which all creatures
of the Earth that is our home must
accept. Lacking the attributes of
intelligence and capabilities that
we monopolize, we are satisfied 
with no less than the complete
surrender to our needs of lesser
species. Our domestic pets, for
example for whom we cannot do
enough to satisfy their every whims
entitled through the emotional
devotion they so effortlessly exert
upon our consciousness. The crows
and squirrels that recognize us and
follow in our wake, anticipating the
daily tributes we deposit for them.
The nasty little mosquito hordes 
that feast at every opportunity upon
our tender, helpless hides.
