Midnight Sun

Kenneth R Jenkins 1961 (United States)

Rhymed
Beautiful light,
Glowing in the night,
As the city sleeps away,
Waiting for the following day,
Night's players play,
And to be hiding everywhere,
Stealing with things from one another
And from people's homes and ripping off brothers,
For a piece of money---
GREED!
The midnight sun
Burns shinning over everyone,
Glowing in the night.
