Do you classify yourself as a Martinet? Then be sure to live alone.

…And since our very day,
we are but to walk away,
on all those who fall,
and cannot succeed,
because we are to stand,
in their way.

So we’ll watch them fall so low,
so we’ll laugh, they’ve no-where to go,
progress they make is so slow.
And the ones who stand up tall,
do you know what they are called?
Are you ready to fall in their net?
They are The Martinet.
