Controlling

You think you know
How it should be done
You've always had your way
You give quarter to none

What a shame! what a shame!
How much easier to blame
Than to ask for the why and what
than to appreciate all you got

How much easier to push buttons
than to employ tact
To condemn others' behaviour
rather than look for a fact

A change of perspective
may bring about wonder
A new point of view
much to ponder

Why bother?
I can't say
Perhaps you really must
Have your way.

Boy, would I like to run off 500 copies of this one and give every single page to same person. But I still don't think he'd get the message. LOL. Well done.

... nicely done: a soft, poetic reprimand without malice makes a strong statement.
