\'They say\' ...Who is \'They\'?

\'You know what they say...\'

‘They say’ an apple a day keeps the doctor away. 

‘They say’ in time, everything will be okay.

‘They say’ good things come, to people that wait,

‘They say’ the happiest of people, pull the biggest of weight.

‘They say’ the best things come, to good people. 

‘They say’ Bad people live, in a world full of evil.

‘They say’ good fortune comes, to those with itchy feet 

‘They say’ You are what you eat. 

‘They say’ you don’t know what you’ve got, until it is gone.

‘They say’ The road to success, is hard and long.

‘They say\' everything happens, for a reason.

‘They say’ new beginnings happen, each and every season.

‘They say’ treat people how you want to be treated.

‘They say’ use time wisely, it wont be repeated. 

 

‘They say...\'

Say so much, yet who is ‘they’? 

‘They’ guide our conversations each and every day.

 

‘They’ challenge us and question our each and every thought, 

\'They\' give us advice, remind us what we’re taught. 

 

‘They say’ Is confusing because we use what they say a lot...

But who was ‘ They’? Inspiration who’s names we forgot?

 

Is ‘ They’ an almighty force that lives in the skies? 

Or could ‘They’ be someone who tragically died? 

 

Is ‘They’ a cave man, An Astronaut? or a millionaire? 

Is ‘They’ a poet an artist or a man with long hair? 

 

The truth could be that ‘they’ is a myth or a lie. 

But in our conversation the term‘ They say’ Will never die. 

 

We just don’t know them, or who or what or where.

So we pass by ‘they\'s’ words of wisdom, not a single care.

 

Then we put ‘them’ in the category of what ‘ They’ said 

And every day obliviously, we say ’they say’ instead.
