   Entitlement
The cult of privilege:
Self-seeking
Self-satisfying
Self-enriching.

The sense of entitlement:
Self-pleasing
Self-admiring
Self-worshipping.

The unseen ties
Spun among those who
Think they control the world:
Leverage, connections,
The architecture of influence.

A class of their own
Telling others of the
Iron laws of the world:
Lobbying for their interests
They wield the levers of power.

A shameless pursuit for
Those defying decency:
They cannot be shamed
Who have no shame.

A bitter lesson the powerless
Learn and learn again:
The powerful act as they wish
Ignoring our common laws.
