Some bossy people presume they can dictate to the vulnerable or ill or weak in society
I would never try to force or dictate to another free human being to make them do my will
There are certain types eg the medical profession in particular
Seem prone to do this since they are used to giving instructions to staff and patient and expect everything done to the letter

Dictation, some are worse than others I fear
You must do this or that precisely, my dear
Follow directions to the letter
Only then can we make you better

When we’re ill making decisions isn’t easy
But we’re free to decide yes or not as it pleases
Don’t allow anyone to completely take you over
Make us do their bidding
Who do they think they are, and who are they kidding (Mr Hitler)
Circumstances at times make us vulnerable
Surely no one should think they have the right, not if they are honourable
Our rights must never be violated
We are all free to do and think for ourselves, should be accepted not berated
Laws are made for all of us to follow
There are times when life seems so hollow
Its then we need a new path to follow
In our mutual interest we need to cooperate

Some folk would take over without discussion or debate
So what I say to them is on your bike don’t be a bully
Full of hate and never will I praise your actions or call you a mate
