How Long Can You Manipulate

You think, I don’t understand!
Okay, that’s fine!!
You think, you own and control!
Hah! Your belief doesn’t affect mine!!
You think you are playing tricks!
Oops! I see them all!!
You think, I don’t understand!
Okay, that’s fine!!
Hiding fangs behind thy sly smile!
Silly! I read between the lines!!
Are you there to stab my back!
Watch! I could pull the rug out!!
You think, I don’t understand!
Okay, that’s better, that’s nice!!
My poor bright spark,
You made me a brainiac!!
Now you think, I don’t understand!
Yes okay, that’s fine!!
Baby! Turn the table,
It’s now my time!
You think, I don’t understand,
Well! Not every time!!
You’ve shown your trumps!
I will wait till moment invites!!

Very true! People take goodness for granted. I really don't get why at all manipulation is required! There should a limit to positivity and tolerance. Nothing is wrong in being a mirror image when required.
