Coercion

I could help you with your dud social skills

But I‘d rather laugh at your lack of sex

I could understand your feelings complex

But the frail make for such easy kills

I could understand all your social needs

But I’d rather shame you for being you

I could ask for cooperation true

But I’d just demand it. See where that leads

I could find your help to be effective

But I'd rather embrace suspicion strong

I could tell you how what you did was wrong

But I’d rather you remain defective

It’s coercion by ridicule of course

So much better than coercion by force
