They say angels protect even devils when they sleep,
That martyrs can silence clergymen when they speak.
They say peace is a feeling we all struggle to maintain,
That loyalty is a wishful trait no man can attain.

They say life makes the rules, we pay the price,
Time gets the laughs, we get the tears,
They say youth has its vice,
While age gets the years.

They say poetry is life, words romancing each other,
That music is immortality, beauty composed on paper.
They say silence is pleasing even to the verbose,
That kindness is an act, not practiced by most.

They say death is the beginning, life is the end,
Experience is the teacher, pain makes you bend.
They say history is the past, lessons we don’t learn,
Love makes you humble, but trust makes you burn.
