... they are the nameless
the suggestors
the invisible advisors
because if “they say”, then that’s how it is
... no faces
yet resounding words
they echo in our heads
are they conscience?
puppet masters
influencing our actions
we’d stake our lives on it,
... because they say
manipulating the spineless
a mirage of wisdom to fools
quoting quotes of the quoted
they say it... we repeat it
our fair weather reference
the convenient alibi
a rumour circulated
returning modified to suit the occasion
who are they... but us?

You know when people say, "they say that..." well, who is that "they"?
