What People Say

In this journey called life

People make assumptions and consider the right

With their sayings rife

I am sorry to say, I don't see them in the same light

People say life was meant for work

Without it nothing you can gain

While some people consider this a quirk

What about the poor who have felt nothing but pain?

People say that to spot an artist good

We must search for the talent popular the most

But what about those who pass by in hoods?

Their talents and them considered as ghosts

People say that mingle with the herd

Only in them you may find friends true

But what about that eccentric feathered bird

Should it be left just because instead of red it's blue?

People say that doing one wrong causes no harm

That you learn from the mistakes you do

Is "two wrongs make a right" just a charm?

Or is it just the majority's view?

While some live the life, the "people's" one

I am just an oddball questioning their thoughts

Why from the truth must they always run?

Why must only one idea be bought?

I question their lack of seeing the different paves around

Than the one most traveled by;it isn't the only way

To one fate or destiny you aren't bound

There's no need to follow what "people" say...
