QUARANTINE LIFE : WHO ARE THEY?

Who are "They", and how did they become so;

Who gave them the power to be

The arbiters of everyone's existence

The go-to for all of our needs?

Why is it that what "They" say matters?

Why is their last word what's believed?

Why are "They" allowed to sow such discord

Why do we always follow their lead?

Soon, we're going to know who "They" are

They're responsible for so much grief

Whenever we look for the answers to problems

Whenever we search for a refuge; relief

We're discouraged because "They" won't allow it

We feel powerless; "They" are in charge

We roll over; decide change is futile

Every challenge is a bit too large

One day, "They" will be replaced with names

And to those names, faces attached

All the reasons why there's such chaos

Revealed when their surface is scratched

We have got to push back much harder

Our softball questions won't do

"They" enjoy their anonymous standing

As all shady types usually do

What "They" said can't be the last word

What "They" do can't be the norm

What "They" want 's not universal

(Even who "We" are needs to reform)

"They" won't survive faced with details

Their actions can't live in the light

And We can't become discouraged

And conclude that what "They" do is right

We have to fight the inclination

To share without regarding facts

Regarding the actions of others

Now is not the best time to relax

Our obligation to truth

Or our need for integrity

Enough of whatever "They" said

Shaping all that you feel and believe
