I have a Master's degree!

I have credentials.

You see that paper at your feet.

Would you pick it up if you had these?

Common courtesy falls beneath the power culture today

I can't let you pick up the paper;

It would not empower me!

And if I am not empowered,

then you must be destroyed.

But, if I allow you to pick up that piece of paper

then it's okay, you see, because you have become better than me

and I must stomp on you and put you once again beneath.

You can't be better than I,

though I am no better than you.

We must always be equal and do the same

lest you take from me what is my game

and leave me beneath.
