They Say!

They say, you can't do things this way

And ask me to keep my methods away
Yes, they will keep me at bay, but to no avail

Because in the end, only I shall prevail

They say, we have been doing this for years

Every small job moves through bureaucratic tiers

All of them are busy earning their livelihood

But are they happy enough to make that sound good?

They say, life has to follow the established routine

Do not walk down the alleys, no one has seen

All of them have walked down the beaten path

But I will not follow, whatever be the aftermath

To the life I choose, they will want to object
And the things I propose, they will want to reject
But I will not make that the concern paramount
All I will strive for, is to make every thought count!
