Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Where have the ordinary people gone,
the ones who sleep so quietly,
who break no taboos under the sun,
and abide by the laws of society,
who stick always to the straight and narrow,
the saints that play the game,
who live and let live with the humble sparrow,
and whose answers are ever the same?
Line count: 8
Rhymed abab

Prompt: Quotation by CS Lewis - “We meet no ordinary people in our lives.”
