They Don'T Give a Toss

The most selfish will say others act for attention, 
it’s the easiest way to dismiss a situation, 
they don’t believe others suffer 
and also believe themselves tougher 
their inward claiming outward 
not dependable and a coward 
self important asking favours 
never graft, slave or admit their behaviour, 
they’ll lie after being caught out 
and their rules are different no doubt, 
create their own little world 
comforted and assured 
expect your help but in your need they'll only ignore, 
they act as though in charge 
as though head or boss, 
heed my words however close you are, 
leave them behind it’ll save you loss, 
they just don't care, 
they don't give a toss.
