Do You Know What They Say

Who are THEY
Can you believe what THEY say
I choose not to
THEY may lead me astray

Maybe if you tell me
I will know who THEY are
I hear THEY never rest
THEY keep raising the bar

Once THEY have found me
I will surely understand
From what I have been told
It's what THEY have planned

Thanks, there is an old 3 stooges video called Who's on first. It is quite hilarious.

Ha... this is very clever. The English language is so funny sometimes. Who is the ominous they, anyhow? It seems no one knows the specifics...

O,O! My friend! Keep away from THEIR tracks and do what you want and is fit for you; and THEY'll keep away from you...OK, I know, it's not that easy as I say it! I was just daydreaming! Your write is always such a pleasure, Richard! :) Bravo, Hanitra
