When They Want It

Those who want what they want,
When they want it...
Are distant from the concept of logic.

And the process of reasoning,
Is as remote from their understanding...
As is their feeling of an empathy.

The only thing they hear that is told,
Is anything that deals...
With the boosting of their ego.

And something given to them,
That can be polished to shine or glow...
Will quiet their temper tantrums everytime.
