You see them in all walks of life,
Bossing people around,
Making them do the things for them,
With force, pain and misery,
But if you react they have won.
All they want to see is the hurt in you,
If they see nothing they have lost.
So try to treat each occasion with apathy,
As apathy can be a weapon
Which they cannot understand.

Occasionally perhaps Dave.

Thank you Phil, apathy does not mean not caring, I care but there are so many idiots who want their own way nowadays and they do not care for anybody except themeslves.
