The Great Muse Ruse

Deep within the city of muse
A rebellion is taking place
The pain and loss is evident
On every poet's face

A trial of sorts has just begun
To find the muse of guilt
The city itself has been torn down
The city the muse has built

The words themselves are walking around
Void of inspiration
Thinking it has to be a big mistake
There's gotta be an explanation

The muse has banned together
Demanding to know the truth
A muse is charged with plagiarism
But the courts can't find the proof

Well I just made this story up
In case your still in shock
I just needed a way to explain
Away my writer's block

Good take on writer's block. I'll try humor next time myself.
