The Blame Game

Where have the ordinary people gone,
the ones who sleep so quietly,
who break no taboos under the sun,
and abide by the laws of society,
who stick always to the straight and narrow,
the saints that play the game,
who live and let live with the humble sparrow,
and whose answers are ever the same?



Line count: 8
