‘They Said’ by Marc McCann
Work, they said, toil long and wait not
For idle thought to save you
But honest work can be forgot
As routine days enslave you
Live, they said, live life to the max
And strangers will adore you
But dying was a hefty tax
For those that lived before you
Talk, they said, Fill the awkward silence
People find concerning
But talking is a joyless chore
When worn out words mean nothing
Learn, they said, learn so you can graduate
From institutes of high esteem
They can’t teach you to contemplate
The gravity of childhood dreams
Love, they said, love everything in every way
For things will soon be gone
But loving is a thorny trail
That knows no right or wrong
