Streetlight

Walk about the night Gaze a cracked streetlight Flickering uselessly. Attempting to illuminate But overall ineffective As it's far too damaged to work without drastic change. So it waits for the repairman To fix all of the problems That it certainly didn't cause. But we are that streetlight Just as we are the repairman Now we must take responsibility for what we have done, and correct ourselves. Lest the streetlight be forever cracked And the street without light Plunged into total darkness.
