The Hurricane Lamp

SALUTE TO THE HURRICANE LAMP Hello Mr Lamp The bringer of rays Binder of homes Convener of hopes Bridger of gap Remover of pain Saluu, Mr Hurricane Second to none Siblings surround you In the dark quiet night Studying for exams And excelling in them You shelter them With your tender arms Uniting them beyond imagination Igniting their love beyond comprehension Blazing the midnight passion They say we burn the midnight candle But I say, we burn the midnight lamp With your influential power You provoke illumination In the darkest rooms Causing an eruption In the darkest hearts Building a strong bond In the largest families You are man's true friend Surviving with him Through thick and thin You blazed the trail Of greatest physicians Steered the steps Of prominent counsels Illuminated the tracks Of strongest aviators Man's Beautiful Journey Began with you Man in turn Abandoned you They chose the erratic PHCN over you Picked the proud solar In place of you Selected the impulsive rechargeable lights And overlooked you Uncontentment has been man's trait Insatiable, his personality Forsaken you were Disappointed and heartbroken You left with the love you brought Yes you've been replaced But the vacuum is still there I celebrate you, Mr Hurricane Lamp Second to none.
