It's Lights Out Poem by Tom Allport

It's Lights Out

Rating: 5.0


It's lights out
The man cried
It's lights out
And we all cried
For we were children of an early age
Lost in the dark
Lost in the night
Tears joined in spite of a cry
From a man who knows
Night and darkness
Shall only grow
In those minds of fearful woe.

i'm assuming it was bedtime for a bunch of young kids in a camp, orphanage, shelter, or...? the ending makes me uncertain of your meaning. was it saying that the man was treating lights out time as a normal part of routine and not a time to fear, thus promoting acceptance among the children? ? hmm? favorite lines: Lost in the dark Lost in the night bri (:
