The Elite

Let's get this straight:
I'm human. you know, homo sapiens.
100% human-- the archetype, if you will.
And see, there are people like me
humans, undoubtedly,
and then there are people like you.
It's science, really.
It's not that you're not important or anything like that,
You're just a little bit,
well, not like me.
And as I said, it's science.
It's been proven and whatnot
so you can't argue it.
This is just how it is,
and it's very beautiful when you think about it,
how we fit together so nicely,
almost like it's destiny
(and it is).
What's so beautiful about it is that everyone has a place,
belongs.
I belong in the world of invention, innovation;
power.
It does sound grand, I know, but trust me:
your simple mind wouldn't be able to handle it.
Your work will never be known as mine is,
famously,
and such
but you're important, yes. very valued.
Honestly, what would I do without you?
Without your hard work I would have no time for my
prestigious endeavors.
Just think!
Without you, who would perform all the menial tasks?
People like me wouldn't be able to handle the monotony.
Don't you see the grand design in it all?
I know, it must be difficult for you to see
with such a simple mind
being so much less of a human than I...
Maybe I'll call you
three quarters
of a human.
Maybe I won't count you at all-- who
keeps track of your kind, anyway?
Oh, and by the way,
As much as it pains me to do so,
There will be certain occasions in which you make mistakes,
and as you can expect I will have to punish you for that.
There is no way out of it
as it's been knowledgeably decided that
discipline
is the only effective way of making your kind learn.
I expect that you'll make countless mistakes,
due to your nature,
but don't worry about me running out of ideas for punishments--
I'm quite creative.
Now please don't feel down about yourself or
purposeless,
I tell you time and time again how much you mean to me
And after all,
for being a creature so destined for nothing
you should be grateful that
I
took you under my wing,
That I gave you a
reason
to live.
