Them Say Them Say

Nothing flies faster than ‘them say’; ‘them say’
Mystical wingless words
Weaponised within democratic state 
Such freedom to incapacitate the state  

Them say; them say’ 
A malicious tool   
Against one; against all
Idealism against truth 
Built within human wits 
For hatred and threats 

Do you remember what they said? 
And they said
Yes; No
Hmm…! So I heard 
Said by none

And it kept flying without wings 
To nooks and crannies
Changing taste  
Just a baseless propaganda 

Na who talk em?
A common say to say 
So I hear em; Na them say em 
And confusion confuses all 

The last was so strong to hold  
Hmm, it horrified the loins  
Them say e happen the way e happen 
And we were all thrown into mystification
