They Say

They say drowning is the most pleasant death
This is curious to me
How do they know?
Who are they?
Can you name these people labeled as they?
Why do we believe them?

Who are they? They are others. Other than who? Other than you. Who am I? I am me, Simple in its complexity.... ( I wrote this many years ago)

Ah, thanks for writing this poem, Caren. If I've asked once I've asked a thousand times: "Who are 'they?'"

The infamous "they" have never impressed me.
