People say but I see

People say many things

I see empty words

People say that they can fly

I see wingless birds

People say there’s fresh air

I see dirty, dusty skies

People say they’re happy

I see a big disguise

People say medication works

I see an average person changed

People say therapy helps

I see many deranged

People say love conquers all

I see drama and despair

People say “I love you”

I see a splitting pair

People say they love home

I see a roof with walls

People say that they live great

I see 911 phone calls

People say oxygen is running out

I see people breathing air

People say time is running out

I see atmosphere to spare

People say pills help them

I see restored minds

People say talking serves well

I see removed blinds

People say love can be deceiving

I see some try it out

People say it is a myth

I see love begin to sprout

People say home is home

I see people making sense

People say it is a blessing

I see their gratitude is immense

People say life is hard

I see that is made for use

People say life gives them apples

But I see them make apple juice
