Streetlamp

Cutting through the shadows of the asphalt homeland As wicked winter winds blow in Gotham Light continues to shine and passers- by are lit up temporarily Streetlamp - the only way you communicate is with light Man has now mastered light Ever since the Neanderthals first used fire Man has utilized light to his advantage Streetlamp on the pavement Just a continuation of man's struggle against darkness Candles, fireplaces and yes, streetlamps mark man's conquest over eternal night
