At Midnight the Stars Shine Brighter

 
If you speak the truth then some people will think you’re uncouth
Society has lost propriety smiling brightly while a missing tooth
So it’s up to poets how to show us with rhyme, stanza and verse
Dropping a volley of knowledge like its college - fully immersed
 
But in the new world that’s been flung and hurled into the gutter
Those who write well are the new age rebel outlaws with a cause
When a sonnet runs the gamut of observation, reflection and thought
As the lexicon has brains and brawn sharper than transitive claws

Pause

He who spills ink and makes you think is skilled in the art of the word
With wit and intellect intact it’s fact you have to keep a keen eye
So catch it while you can before it gets banned if you understand
Because at Midnight the stars shine brighter all over the sky
