Be thankful shout for joy because 'they' hate, deride or despise you it's they vs you be grateful as they are taking you into their reckoning you must be an important guy or why else should they bother let them vociferate and vituperate the more they do so the higher you they rate it's your moment of triumph you 've caused them headaches heart-aches sleepless nights embarrassment even shame and discontent how they ache to see you falling down but you look away you are silent and not a word you speak nor care to reply justify or explain you in so doing make them more uneasy indeed you inflict endless pain on them the truth is you are not to blame it's they who stoke the fire and it's burning them too soon they can't take the strain frustrated disappointed irate desperate agitated in anxiety unabated they in despair throw their hands in the air they give up you have conquered them with your masterly-orchestrated stand and contempt.

'THEY'*
Be thankful shout for joy because 'they' hate, deride or despise you it's they vs you be grateful as they are taking you into their reckoning you must be an important guy or why else should they bother let them vociferate and vituperate the more they do so the higher you they rate it's your moment of triumph you 've caused them headaches heart-aches sleepless nights embarrassment even shame and discontent how they ache to see you falling down but you look away you are silent and not a word you speak nor care to reply justify or explain you in so doing make them more uneasy indeed you inflict endless pain on them the truth is you are not to blame it's they who stoke the fire and it's burning them too soon they can't take the strain frustrated disappointed irate desperate agitated in anxiety unabated they in despair throw their hands in the air they give up you have conquered them with your masterly-orchestrated stand and contempt.
* the world is never free from ill-will and schadenfreude but there are some good and kind people around but sadly their number is small and shrinking fast. In a materialistic and competitive world, greed grows like weeds and is hard to eradicate. Its 'they' vs you.
