Street Lights

Their illuminations make the roads and streets to glitter,
Spreading like a beam passing through a gauze filter,
These stretching hands overwhelm and capture the night,
Night colored with fluorescent lights that shine so bright.

Robbers and pickpockets become exposed and jumpy,
While party goers and sex hawkers are happy
to perpetuate their trades and explore the day,
Lovers are able to stroll on side walk without delay.

Reflections and heat give  gentle touch on the skin,
Which are so bright that can locate a missing pin,
Combine effects chase away the shadows and darkness,
Evil thoughts disappear, which brightens goodness.
