They

They say inflation

is getting worse.

They say things are

getting out of hand.

They say we should

tighten our belts.

If we try

we can win.

They say we can.

They say many people

are out of work.

They say smokers should

try to quit today.

Morale, in general,

is going downhill.

Pollution is

killing us,

They say.

Did you ever

stop to wonder?

Give it a thought,

a moment or two.

About how much

they have to say?

About how little

they really do‽

They say the world

is ending.

It just might

end today.

So they carry signs,

they look so sad.

What strange people

are they.

They think they

know it all.

Then even told us

God was dead.

They soon discovered

they were wrong.

No one listened

or believed,

What they said.

Now who are they?

Would you like to know?

The anonymous they?

Who can they be?

Is it possible

they are us?

Are they

sometimes you?

Sometimes me?

They tend to say

so many things.

Some are good,

most are bad.

Yet I cannot believe

I am one of they.

Because they usually

get me angry,

And make me mad!!!
