    The title is also the first line.

    Turn the lights down low

     It's that time of night
    Bring the temperature down
    It's a bit too high
    Separate the waste
    Or there will be a fine
    Careful what words you use
    They decided it's not right
    For people to be left alone
    To simply live their lives
    So turn the lights low

    Great! I like the simplistic flow. Frightening to think there might one day actually be a time for "lights out"

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
